This is going to be a great mod once it comes out (I have no doubt it will).
It will be, a few people are already working on it. I worked on it for 4 weeks now...
I'm testing the mod myself as well...and I have a few screens of the testing grounds in the form of Shermann Hill on wich I'm testing this mod. Look at the screens, I think the used rubber would be nice for the Recycle Factory to remake rubber out of it. But I don't think the used rubber is an option for the Tire-Factory, and rubber should be delivered from the Recycle Factory and the Rubber Plantage...
Scrap-Automobiles and Scrap-Metal is delivered at the Scrap-Heap. The trains on the large part of the station pick up rubber from the plantage and load construction steel and plastic pellets (they are delivered here from the closest Chemical Factory) from the scrap-heap station. It's gives a nice income because plastic pellets are well present here and construction steel is there in large numbers...So that gives a good flow. The short train with the Challenger locomotive is loading used rubber and delivers it at the rubber plantage...From there it is picked up by another train, wich loads rubber, used rubber and a little further down the line it loads up oil for the tire factory.
The used rubber, rubber and oil gets delivered here at the tire-factory. But payments for rubber and used rubber is zero. That's because it will take forever to fill the train with used rubber (wich doesn't have a very high production). Because it will take so long, not much oil is produced at the oil wells further down the line...and because it takes long payments are low or zero.
I'm not sure what to do with it...I don't want to drop the used rubber from the mod, but maybe I can deliver oil and rubber only to the tire-factory, because those are industries that will produce completely on their own. The used rubber is a by-product. I don't know if tire-factory's in real life take back old tires (or old rubber) to produce new ones out of it, or that the old tires (or old rubber) will be delivered at a recycle factory to produce new rubber out of it.
For now I will test a little more, but if this doesn't get any better, I think I will only let the used rubber get delivered at the recycle factory, where new rubber gets produced. Or maybe I make another cargo out of it. Instead of used rubber I will make that old tires (because old tires can now be seen on the scrap-yard)...I could also make the rubber-plantage produce latex (like in real life) and have the latex delivered to a new industry (the rubber plant). In that case the mod gets even bigger. One new industry (the rubber plant), a new cargo (latex) and old tires instead of used rubber.
What do you guys think of that idea ?
In short: Only deliver rubber and oil to the tire-factory. Drop the used rubber and make old tires out of that, and then deliver the old tires to the recycle plant to produce new goods and new rubber out of those...A new industry and a new cargo.
The recycle factory runs well. Waste, Scrap-metal and Used Rubber gets delivered here and goods and rubber is being produced out of that. The Big Boy that runs by is heading for the Autoparts-Factory with Construction Steel, Rubber and Plastik Pellets to make Autoparts and Scrap-Metal out of it. No problems there...
Thnxsss a lot for the feedback...it's needed to create a better mod.
I don't know if the test players have the same problem, please let me know here....
Now I'm off to bed, I wish you all a good night and till tomorrow
