@Femboy Enthusiast Itwoupd be nice to show where to put that in order as some people have never messed with priority before

Patch out. Please see change notes section for details. Will continue to look into other issues - anyone still seeing pink trains? Or having increased spawn rates potentially?
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 2 Dec @ 12:20am 
@bean - I will look into this. US car culture could be an issue? But Ill have to take a look in its files.

@golddragonslayer520 - I got the AC4400CW to spawn again by.. removing my file from my mod and suddenly the game is spawning it now. Its very odd. Ill try and have an update out at some point when I figure this out.
bean 1 Dec @ 8:53pm 
I also want to note that I sat through five trains before I saved and reloaded the game.
bean 1 Dec @ 8:51pm 
So far it was only that crossing that I experienced issues with trains. I have US Car Culture and some addons for it, but I don't have "Real Traffic Density," "Brutal Traffic," or "More realistic traffic," or other similar mods enabled.
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 1 Dec @ 8:41pm 
@golddragonslayer520 - yes this is something Ive noticed as well. I'm also looking into that

@bean - I have not experienced a spawn rate like that. Have you, by chance got a mod that may affect that? There is a spawn rate setting for the mod that I increased ever-so-slightly but I've never been stuck waiting for more than maybe like, 3 trains maximum?
golddragonslayer520 1 Dec @ 7:34pm 
Idk if its me but every train I see is lead by a sd40-2 I haven't seen any ac44s yet, idk if its my location or mod fighting
bean 1 Dec @ 5:03pm 
Hi, the spawn rate for trains is far higher for me than I think it should be. I'm playing as I'm writing this and am stuck at the crossing just NW of Hobbs, New Mexico on 82 because train after train keeps going by. I noticed you updated the mod to spawn two trains at once and I wonder if that's the cause, that's why I am writing here.

@DECEIVED CHA - oh, I see. What do you need clarification on?
DECEIVED CHA 30 Nov @ 8:12pm 
@ Femboy Enthusiast no everything is fine I just didnt know where to put them in order however some clarification on that image would be nice, maybe show where and how to do that.
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 30 Nov @ 7:17pm 
@JazzGuru - right. As with everything below, Ill see what I can do.
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 30 Nov @ 7:16pm 
@picallayo Ill run some tests and see what I can do. It should work fine in that load order, but I probably need to update a few things again.

@DECEIVED CHA - I will look into this
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 30 Nov @ 7:14pm 
@TW - first, please read the FAQ about that. Second, wdym they "dont show up"

A more general note to everyone - been away for about 4 days, apologies. Gonna be able to fix things again now.
DECEIVED CHA 30 Nov @ 1:32pm 
@Gl00ria and @picallayo I just realized you have to do it on the mod manager on the right, priority not my profile in steam lol
DECEIVED CHA 30 Nov @ 1:26pm 
@Gl00ria isnt compatible for me too, is in that order
Gl00ria 30 Nov @ 12:13pm 
@picallayo, it is compatible. see the first pic of the mod for the correct load order.
picallayo 30 Nov @ 12:10pm 
it isnt compatible with the realistic traffic mod
TW 28 Nov @ 3:29pm 
Do these trains have 2 engines on the front. I would not know because they don't show up ATS v1.57..........
ILT 28 Nov @ 3:25pm 
i wish someone would make that steam locomotive mod again
TheSimGuy 28 Nov @ 2:11pm 
Loving this @Femboy Enthusiast! That's a lot of work. Nice job. - TheSimGuy | :doublenickels:
JazzGuru 27 Nov @ 6:00pm 
Oh, just checked, and I'm using different mods. Realistic Drivers by Purity Control and Real Traffic Density by Cip; both of which have been recently updated...
JazzGuru 27 Nov @ 4:14pm 
Just wanted to say that I saw 2 trains today with pink SD-40 locos. I'll try removing the AI Driver Behaviour mod, as described above, to see if that helps...
Azuirele 27 Nov @ 3:37am 
@FunGaming44 Try to remove Realistic AI Driver Behaviour if you have it above this mod. It also modifies day/times AI traffic density, and nearly every other stuff like Cip mod, which will conflict with this mod. Plus, it is also very outdated
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 26 Nov @ 5:25pm 
@FunGaming44 - As for traffic density, do you have that above my mod? Regarding realistic AI behavior, I cannot say as I have not used that mod but that could also be a culprit.
FunGaming44 26 Nov @ 7:43am 
real traffic density mod and the realistic AI Driver Behaviour mod https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656561312
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 26 Nov @ 7:02am 
@FunGaming44 - what other mods are you using? Any traffic mods that might interfere?
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 26 Nov @ 7:01am 
@JazzGuru - maybe? I dunno, however I only support the current version so, thats kinda outta my range
JazzGuru 26 Nov @ 6:18am 
One other thing I forgot to mention is that I'm still on the 1.56 version. Waiting for map mods to get updated. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it. As I said, it was working fine up until very recently...
FunGaming44 26 Nov @ 5:56am 
for some odd reason this one keeps crashing my game, cant load into any save. No idea why but must be a compatibility issue maybe
wraithrider 26 Nov @ 5:04am 
@Femboy Enthusiast, cool. Right on, and thanks for the answer. :steamthumbsup:
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 26 Nov @ 3:45am 
@wraithrider - Good to know your trains are normal so far. As for more engines in trains, see the FAQ section in the description. As for lengthier trains, while I see where you're coming from once again considering the game's scale, I feel this does a good job. I also keep it this way for personal reasons, as right now my PC kinda sucks butt and I think stressing it out with even longer trains would just throw a wrench in my own gameplay experience. Maybe when I upgrade my PC (hopefully soon if I can actually find a decent offering) Ill consider throwing an extra long train in there or something.
wraithrider 26 Nov @ 3:35am 
F.E., so far my trains run normal. On another note, just for some realism, is it possible to have the odd train be a double-header with just a bit more length? I know you were talking about the game being a scaled down version and having the trains adjusted accordingly to it, but I was just thinking for real-life looks and such.
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 25 Nov @ 10:20pm 
patch out. Turns out there was also a couple unreferenced DDS files for the coal gondolas. No idea if that is somehow affecting the SD40 (as it stands, the SD40 is working fine for me on my end) but please, anyone do let me know if the trains are still pink. I may have to resort to the forums if this persists cause I am getting to the point where I'm unsure what I can really do other than remove the edited textures entirely, which I rather try and fix instead.
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 25 Nov @ 10:06pm 
@Q-tip - ♥♥♥♥ okay. Lemme try and release a quick patch within the next 10 minutes to see if this solves anything
Q-tip 25 Nov @ 6:42pm 
engine is still pink for me as of yesterday, but i did notice that it switches back to normal once it gets far enough away
JazzGuru 23 Nov @ 3:43pm 
No worries - and thanks again for making this amazing mod! It's just a pity that SCS don't allow for more than 1 loco at the front of a train. As a massive rail fan myself, that really irks me... ;)
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 23 Nov @ 3:23pm 
sounds good, thank you!
JazzGuru 23 Nov @ 3:15pm 
If/when I see it again, I'll make a note of the exact loco type...
JazzGuru 23 Nov @ 3:12pm 
Yeah, from the silhouette, it appeared to be an SD40-type loco. I could be wrong though, as I was speeding along the highway in a Harven's incredible Mack R at the time... ;)
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 23 Nov @ 2:38pm 
@JazzGuru - yes I have updated the mod a fair bit, I am unsure what is causing this as I am not getting this issue on my end. Can you tell me which loco is showing pink? I am about to update the mod to remove the AC44 files, as those I havent made any edits to and I wonder if those sitting in the mod folder is conflicting with the game. However I did update the SD40, and if its the SD40 - then I am unsure.
JazzGuru 23 Nov @ 2:26pm 
Getting a pink loco (first time I've ever seen that) while driving through Arizona. Awesome mod otherwise though... ;)

Edit - This has only just started happening, so I guess something has changed in the files maybe...
sdmspanky 22 Nov @ 8:34pm 
Thanks for the info... I'll check into that and go from there...Thanks
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 22 Nov @ 6:04pm 
@sdmspanky - I am unsure what could be causing this? You may have a conflicting mod that affects train textures. I know those real company mods do that
sdmspanky 22 Nov @ 4:36pm 
Engine is still pink for me
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 22 Nov @ 12:36pm 
Fix is out. I got the pink trains removed in my game, is it working for you?
Femboy Enthusiast  [author] 22 Nov @ 12:21pm 
@dsteve59 @Q-tip thanks for letting me know. Ill see what I can do to fix it today.
dsteve59 22 Nov @ 8:57am 
Pink for me also
Q-tip 22 Nov @ 5:56am 
the train engine is pink for me
wraithrider 22 Nov @ 4:37am 
@The BNSF Railfan Guy, if you're running other mods remember to have any and all traffic mods PLACED ABOVE the Enhanced Train mod and any and all sound mods PLACED BELOW. I forgot this yesterday and kept getting CTDs until I remembered and placed them accordingly. :steamhappy:
The BNSF Railfan Guy 21 Nov @ 3:09pm 
It game crashed please help me fix!!!!!!
