warehouse or transfer warehouse is not quite right for this mod.
English is not my first language, but one expression I found often on the web is "transload facility"

Due to differing capacities of the different modes, the facilities typically require some storage facility such as warehouses.

well I just attempted to play around with it now... loaded up the included scenario, played a little bit, then realised that the warehouses were not in the scenario. The objective was to transport goods to point b... but all 16 industry slots had been used up, not one of them being a warehouse.

Unless there was another released version which I don't have...

EDIT: Never mind me... I figure it out after playing with it some more...

been working with it and it is good, room for improvement
*BIG ships
*a spot to put that yard tractor that is a helicopter
*the cranes need a rework, and the defualt port should be centered
May the force be with you.
For little boys, three things reign as supreme attention-keepers: tanks, heavy construction equipment, and trains, we all know why where here.

Zeak was doing the ships so I ignored it.

Helicopter can be placed.

whats needed on the crane beside the ground tile and the little bit of blue?

started to think about the base for the crane.. I cant make it till the asphalt is done. you can really tell now that the crane is off center a tad.

The area under the cranes should have some conatiners or trailers under it for loading/unloading.

I had thought it.

it might be to repetitive.

I think I am going to have to go full tile with the safety stripes if i do them.
The abrupt end looks.. off

Maybe Ill just skip it and draw the track for the crane...

I believe there are mainly two problems with the (old) asphalt: it doesn't look good if you zoom out and you can't modify the ground for the caryards later in the game. Since the caryards are already modified airports, what about using the original (concrete?) ground of the large airport?
By the way, I never had a problem with the old harbor crane as it was.
Since you found a way to make creative use of the airports, I could imagine more things to come (in future) like new railway stations. Is it possible to add larger tile buildings (2x2 or larger) to the airport?

Decided to boot up Cajon Pass with container mod, all very well, lovin' those trailers. But I could not help noticing one slight bug with the trucks, apart from the fact that the cab doesn't appear in scenario editor.

Can't do a thing about that.

That is part of how to get them to work.

Also if you don't give them way points, They may decide to make a u-turn on a dead end road and get stuck.

whats up with the crack rock factory?


OK looking at your asphalt.. yuck.. here you can try this one.

I just cant it quite right.

If i make the ground any more pixilated i am getting weird repeating patterns.

not my day for making mods..

PS i know the hill shadows are missing on this version. I was trying to get the main tile right before i delt with that part.

:idea: I have an Idea. Make each 1 square component a separate ploppable piece. I don't know how you could do this, but it's worth a look.

Ploppable, like the way you place an airport.

It's a feature that comes with downloading one of the Dekosoft packs I think,, either that or the scenery pack. It should one one of those.
