About this mod

Extends all forestry tracks (logs and pulpwood) from Hemmingway, Walker, Connelly, and Barker's to allow full days production of cars to sit on the loading zone at once. Keeps vanilla flavor with other minor changes.

VANILLA FORESTRY EXTENSIONS

Yeah, I like log spurs and I cannot lie.
You other loggers can't deny.

DESCRIPTION

This mod was created as a companion mod for my Sylva Industries Boosted mod.  It let's you park the full day's worth of cars in the loading zones for Hemmingway, Walker, Connelly, and Barker's.  Apart from extending certain tracks, it keeps the vanilla feel of the track layout and production values with a few exceptions.
  • Hemmingway is now a pull-through track, allowing you to run around the cars without blocking the main passing track at the station.
  • The pointless switch at Walker Lower Pulpwood has been removed and the switch is at the start of the track like God intended.
  • The switchbacks at Walker have been extended to allow 20 skeleton cars + C-46 locomotive to climb the hill at once.
  • Did you know that tiny Barker's spur can produce 20 CARS of pulpwood PER DAY in the vanilla game? That's crazy.  Reduced it to 5 cars, and extended the track to fit all 5 cars plus a small to medium sized locomotive.
  • All industries load cars 3x faster.  However, if the industry is EMPTY when you park a car there, it can only load as fast as it produces! This means if you park 20 cars at Connelly P3/P4 while it is empty, it will take 24 hours to fill the cars! (I may tweak industries a little further if this becomes an issue with people).

INSTALLATION
After downloading the required mods above, run the railloader.exe on it's own.  You will get a text box with green text saying the installation was successful.  THEN, drag and drop the downloaded mods zip files onto the railloader.exe and it will install the mods for you!

FUTURE PLANS (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)
  • Further production tweaks version for people who *really* have a forestry hungry railroad.
  • Modular version for increased compatibility with others (likely a separate mod page).
  • 1.0 after further playtesting to ensure balance and free of bugs.
  • Removal of Alina's map mod as a requirement.
