[WIP] Sugar farm

[Twiggy]

Cheers Zeak. It's not new unfortunately. Noah used this one to design the ark, that's how freaking old this thing is...!!

When I tried to add this to a scenario it said missing Soybeans, and another saids Produce
How you fix that?

Sounds like the product of Demontrain's heavily [self] modded loco install. he'd be the one to ask, as the one I was attempting ages ago has never been close to completion.

However, the last couple of weeks I've spent in the Gold Coast, Queensland, and driving up from Sydney (Every Sydneysider has to make the road trip pilgrimage to the Gold Coast at some stage of their lives). Of course, this means driving through Sugar Cane territory north of Grafton. I grabbed a few snaps from the car when I could for inspiration and reference. A couple of shots of the Harwood and Broadwater mills. The Condong mill is bypassed these days (possibly by the Murwillumbah bypass?)which is a shame - about 6-8 years back I did a tour of the mill, that was great.

This does not mean however, that I will be completing this any time soon - still too many things on my plate with uni, but the project has not been forgotten.

One suggestion:

Making a change in the Oil Refinery and / or Sugar Refinery to produce
"ETHANOL", linking the "fuel" to the ID of the Goods, and delivering the
fuel directly to the cities!

Here in Brazil Ethanol fuel is used in the same amount as gasoline.

Oops sorry here they are. As you can see I haven't done much more work on this idea for a lack of interest in the forums. I use them every so often but the idea doesn't work out as well as I had hoped. One problem I have noticed is that when having so many cargo types to move around the ability to keep up with all the cargo stresses the players routes and causes towns to lower one's ratings. It is ideal for those that love a challenge and a lot of trackage, not to mention so many trains running that eventually you are replacing locomotives and nothing else just to keep things moving.

Thank you I apprciated it

[Carlostraincrazy]

I added these dat file but know it saids missing corn and fertilzer if there's any other files please my I have them all?

[Hammo]

At AMI trains (and possibly elsewhere) there is a tool called locoSSA. Using this will tell you everything that you are missing from the scenario.

[Carlostraincrazy]

That wasn't for scenarios but the new food plant and sugar farms and winery that appects sugar

You sure can, but as I said earlier I have done nothing with this for some time and therefor I don't remember all the interconnected dat files etc.

I think it's a great idea! (Personally I have no Idea's for a company at all! ) The only Thing I would change is that you should keep grain farm. Other than that great!

[demontrain]

The only thing I've done to this mod in 8 months is lighten the graphics oand rename the sugar farm to sugar plantation. I did it to make it easier to see the difference between the 2.

[Twiggy]

That looks quite awesome demon!! I should definitely make some time to get my stuff up and running again. (Life has been hectic at the moment, bought new house, started my own consultancy, and have a baby due in 2 weeks!!)

We'll get this project over and done finally!!

[demontrain]

I tried to add new buildings and leave the fields as they are now but I keep getting black blobs. Congrats on house and baby to be twiggy. I had forgotten so much of this modding stuff, but now have free time and as you can see I have a few new loco's in the pic.

[Twiggy]

Cheers mate. Those locos look pretty cool. They're a bit too dark for detail though. But they, and the building are the bomb... I'd like to say I'll have some ready to go soon, and while I'm working away, I should get a bit of time to... But at home, I don't even get the chance to check out the forums, let alone do anything else on the computer!!

[demontrain]

The loco's are GE/Aloc ef-1's see screenshot

Also a screenshot of white blobs ( failed correction attempt)

[Zimmlock]

Verry nice work demon, you have the black square because you dont use the correct "invisable" color/palet and or did not mentioned the new structure correct in the xml.
Now there is a (sugar) MOD in development that uses sugar beets to produce sugar, i dont know how the two ll interact, i have drawn a sugarplant and a office building for that.

[demontrain]

Thanks for suggestion Zimm. Got the blackout lifted now I got to mess around to locate it right. Dang the things one forgets when not modding much anymore. I know there was another sugar mod. Mine simply uses the same dat ID as grain. Made it that way to avoid creating the wagons to haul it. There shouldn't be any clash other than an industry being used.

I use Train SIm modeler mainly because I have it and do know how to use it. Someday in future I'll try out the other 3d programs but for now mine will be a bit crude looking.

[Illegal_Alien]

Demon; are those done with MSTS2Lomo?If so you mind me doing them for you? As they are indeed a bit dark

[demontrain]

The loco's are Trains Sim Modeler converted with MSTS2Loco.... The 3d Model is my creation however the texture is not.. would that be a copyright problem? If not I can and will send them for you are much better at that than me. The Specs for loco's are just what I thought would be ok, since they are not prototypical.

I always liked the electric Loco's in US but since there are so few I created my own.

What would you need? the s files and texture and anything else?
