Unlimited Outside Connections Revisited 1.1

@Uight Unfortunately, I don't have any further suggestions at this point; it's a known issue with airplane paths sometimes (hence the note in the description above). Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't - it looks as though you've been unlucky with this one.
Uight 18 Aug @ 3:36am 
i tried deleteing the aiport area and readd the main building then repaint the are and i also deleted all aircraft stands and readded them but that didnt work.
For another test i deleted the whole airplane path and realized that you cant even delete the outside connection. When i redrew new paths the plans would still only spawn on that one side but then not follow the new path at all instead straigh b-lining to the airport now.
Then i tried just adding more outside connection at other places but these are never used at all.

For the ship paths i didnt have any problem. The map i used had none and i just added one down a river and that worked fine. Also 3 new highways and two more train connections all working its just the plane path that doesnt

@Uight Ship and plane outside connections can be unpredictable by their nature, and sometimes are difficult to get to work. Have you tried deleting your existing air/seaports and rebuilding them after the new connection is placed?
Uight 17 Aug @ 1:03pm 
@algernon can it be that the limitation from the More Network stuff that i would supposed is used for the ship and plane paths is still present. Because i sometime ago delted one of the outside plane connections and readded later with a different path but that connection is never used. Tried some otheer stuff to but only the original connection is ever used at all.
Is there a way to fix this?

@Nuclear_Xtreme Glad you figured it out - yes, that behavior is part of the base game; although you can manually create routes between existing stations and outside connections if you want (the connections are functionally stations and can be connected with the transport line tool).

Nice to see that the GitHub source came in handy!
Nuclear_Xtreme 13 Jul @ 2:40pm 
Ok, think I see what my issue was. TLDR: looks like the way transport AI detects these outside links is at the time of *placing the station/building*, so if you create outside connections, only building placed afterwards actually "see" them. So you should probably create all the ones you need at the start of a saved game unlike me lol :chirp:

I took a look on your GitHub src code @algernon and seen "
/// <param name="buildingID">ID of created building.</param>
public static void OnBuildingCreated(ushort buildingID)"
at {LINK REMOVED} in the repo :hardhat:

I figured this was a good clue and I was right! Live-saving mod for the game BTW and thanks for coding this one up :) :VBCOOL:
Nuclear_Xtreme 13 Jul @ 12:55pm 
Having issues with rail lines on edge of map :( Have Harmony 2.2.0, and using NA with 'default' mode. Weird thing is on this same saved game it's working on the other edge of the map? Any ideas? I have enough traffic demand FYI.

@algernon i've fix the problem after i pull out the road out of the map instead of just pull out of a tile.thx:steamthumbsup:
algernon  [author] 9 Jun @ 4:15pm 
@PrinceLim The message you posted there says that there's no problem. Unless you meant something else?
Nillita 24 May @ 5:40am 
@algernon Thanks, I dont need more than four connections, just wanted to change directions, also I don't want to load my pc with too many mods.
algernon  [author] 23 May @ 3:57pm 
@Nillita Provided you have four or fewer connections of each type, yes, they will still work. However, if you have more than four, the extra connections won't function properly without this mod.
Nillita 23 May @ 2:29pm 
Hello, I was wondering if the connections still work after using this mod once and disabling it?
jsonlinebuying 17 Apr @ 8:32am 
Thanks heaps mate.
algernon  [author] 15 Apr @ 9:57pm 
@jsonlinebuying THanks! And yes, it's compatible with TM:CE.
jsonlinebuying 15 Apr @ 5:53pm 
G'day algernon. I have a number of yours, Bloodypenguin, BadPeanut and others MOD's. You blokes make this game truly worth playing. I was looking at subscribing to this MOD but was wondering if it was compatible with Transfer Manager CE V2.xx? I understand if your not sure. It's hard to check every MOD, but I'd thought I'd ask just in case you knew.
algernon  [author] 7 Apr @ 4:00pm 
@joyeuse13 I have never seen that exact text before, so I don't know. You've definitely subscribed to the required Harmony dependency mod, right?
joyeuse13 7 Apr @ 10:07am 
Load status in content manager says "Unloaded: Not in Game." What does this mean and how do I fix it? I've tried unsubscribing and resubscribing.
algernon  [author] 3 Apr @ 2:25pm 
@814563877 Depends by exactly what you mean. Cims catching public transport will walk in from the border and wait at a virtual 'station' for pickup.
814563877 3 Apr @ 6:16am 
Why are there so many people walking on my border after the highway is built?
algernon  [author] 20 Mar @ 5:08am 
@FairyKomet Thanks! The green arrows mean that an outside connection has been made, yes.
FairyKomet 20 Mar @ 4:17am 
Hi Algernon, please allow us to thank you first for all of the mods you were part of during the building process and the ones you are currently maintaining. I would like to ask abuot something regarding this mod: Would the fact of being able to see the green arrows going in and out confirm that the road (regardless of whether custom asset or vanilla) connecting to the outside is working, or do we have to wait and check whether sims or cargos actually spawn there as game progresses to make sure?
Aris_K 19 Mar @ 2:22pm 
You are a lifesaver algernon! That was it... Thank you so much!
algernon  [author] 8 Mar @ 4:09am 
@Aris_K Make sure that you're not forcing a particular network elevation type in network tool or other mods. The outside connection is a specific type of elevation that the game must be free to choose; if you take that choice away via a mod setting then the game can't create the connections.
Aris_K 8 Mar @ 4:06am 
Yeah... this is weird. Like many others commented, I do also have problems only with the train connections (vanilla tracks). All other (roads) work fine and it lets me create outside connections but not for trains...
algernon  [author] 3 Mar @ 2:00pm 
@allenyangwenchao That would suggest the mod isn't active. Maybe Steam randomly deleted it from your computer even though you're still subscribed (known Steam bug)? Check to make sure.
allenyangwenchao 2 Mar @ 9:21pm 
Hi Algernon! I got a small issue. after I created 2 train connections, it said I cannot build any more!!? Well, what should I do !!! Plz help! thx
algernon  [author] 8 Feb @ 3:33am 
@缪雪松 The mod doesn't change any behaviors with outside connections; it just lets you create them. Sometimes intercity train connections won't generate passengers (even without the mod - it's a game issue); if you're sure that you've got the connection correct, you can manually create the connection by creating a train line to and from that connection to your station(s).
缪雪松 8 Feb @ 1:59am 
Hi algernon, I met some issues while using this mod. The game can not generate train that contains passengers. I'm sure that I'm using vanilla tracks. What should I do? Is there something wrong with the mod?
algernon  [author] 18 Jan @ 4:02am 
@辰-柯 It seems as though you might have encountered the Steam Workshop bug where items aren't always downloaded when you subscribe. Use Skyve to manage your mods and force download, or otherwise, follow normal Steam mod procedures - unsubscribe/resubscribe, restart your Steam client, restart your computer.
辰-柯 17 Jan @ 5:34am 
Hello, why can't I find the subscribed mod? Also, in the mod store, it shows that the file has not been downloaded locally and cannot be found.
algernon  [author] 8 Jan @ 9:36pm 
@Kombat Wombat Are you using vanilla tracks? Most custom tracks don't support outside connections.
Kombat Wombat 8 Jan @ 6:46pm 
Having the same issue, read through the comments and while I have Network Anarchy made it sure the tracks are default. I might be able to get a freight train out, but no passenger/freight in. Does the map have to be pre-configured/created for rail connections? It looks like it didn't originally.
algernon  [author] 18 Dec, 2024 @ 4:11am 
@超绝命的无敌杂鱼 Yes.
超绝命的无敌杂鱼 18 Dec, 2024 @ 12:45am 
does it works now?
alex.ialu03 1 Dec, 2024 @ 2:58pm 
@Fraud. Can you share a screenshot and more details of how you have fixed this? I have the same problem
Fraud. 28 Oct, 2024 @ 12:15pm 
@algernon, i fixed... :D No new connection is added to this part of the map, I removed all the mods, only 81 tiles remained and I pulled the connection to another area that the game itself allows.
algernon  [author] 28 Oct, 2024 @ 4:34am 
@Fraud. So the outside connection is working, okay. Addressing the traffic is a gameplay issue, and there are a number of guides out there on building rail networks. Basic points are to remove any bottlenecks in your internal rail network, make sure there are alternative routes, and possibly even keep your internal and external lines separate.

The best treatment depends on your city and playstyle, so I can't advise on specifics.
Fraud. 28 Oct, 2024 @ 12:07am 
@algernon yeah, that working but so many traffic flow here, When this traffic gets longer, it reaches the city center and all train traffic stops.
algernon  [author] 27 Oct, 2024 @ 3:53pm 
@Fraud. Isn't that screenshot showing that your outside connections are working?
Fraud. 27 Oct, 2024 @ 5:25am 
Fraud. 27 Oct, 2024 @ 4:33am 
:steamsad:I have 2 Modes;
81 Tiles & Unlimited Outside Connections (+Harmony2.2.20) but rail way "green arrows" not seen anytime.I haven't played the game for 48 hours to solve this. I just really want to solve the problem
algernon  [author] 27 Oct, 2024 @ 4:22am 
@Fraud. Make sure that you're only trying to make outside rail connections with vanilla tracks (most custom tracks don't support outside connections), and have your Network Anarchy elevation setting to 'default'.
Fraud. 27 Oct, 2024 @ 2:45am 
Dont'work, please help me. Train traffic so bad, but no add any connection on this map end.
akrspot64 19 Aug, 2024 @ 1:29am 
I subsrcibed a while ago and it worked fine. Just recently it stopped loading. It`s reading enabled but not loaded.
Alanbai 13 Aug, 2024 @ 1:43am 
why i can't create another railway outside connection after i create one?
Berkley's Auto Service 31 Jul, 2024 @ 5:31pm 
i dont know if this is this mod's fault specifically but my pedestrians waiting for the trains at the edge wont despawn and no trains are spawning.
DeadB4U 15 Jul, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
if you have deleted your train connection to the outside world the track must be reconnected using a train connection track found by using find it 2
algernon  [author] 10 Jul, 2024 @ 5:50am 
@飘香醉 As noted in the description above, custom airways can be very fragile and can break. There's no sure-fire fix, but you might try bulldozing and replacing airports.
飘香醉 9 Jul, 2024 @ 9:56pm 
Dear author, when used, the roads are normal, the ship fairways are normal, the railways are normal, only the airplane routes do not work, there are no planes entering my city, how is this
alfoxon 2 Jul, 2024 @ 8:28am 
I'm just setting up a map for a large long term build. I prefer altering things in play mode not editor. The problem I had all came down to roads terrain following and so changing height when you extend them. Just need to make sure reset to default height when trying to make a new connection. same for railways.
