Have a look at his JohnFister's Objects
viewtopic.php?p=1237450#p1237450

Thnx!! Argus will probably like those too.

I don't even know about this, another project that didn't make it to the final version and on Bananas. It looks nice.
And yes, that's exactly the cathedral I had in mind, I already found it. There's one more, I think.

I near sure Quast65 sent me these many many moons ago in a template including castle walls and other buildings called "Basics_by_Meslinjf"

Wonder if these ring a bell?

[Argus]

That's beautiful, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some castles and chateaux rolling somewhere.
The building on the right looks like a monastery.

Be interesting to know if someone has already made these available .. if not I could have a try and re-colour them to be used.

Subject: Cherry Pickers.

I placed some cherry pickets on to trucks.

Cherry Pickers credit to "George" and the trucks to "McZapkie's Polroads"

Next I will do what Quast65 mentioned about placing these and some of the other vehicles on fake roads and railway tracks and the road closed barriers.

Here's version 15 with the Cherry Pickers in the image above.

EDIT:

I forgot to swing the jib for "Cherry Picker Trucks" that are on the southern side of the tiles. Will fix later today or tomorrow.

Subject: Drag Line and Cherry Pickers.

Fixed the jibs for Cherry Pickers that I had wrong way around and also added some more Cherry Pickers on trucks from the back direction.
Added the ball to the drag lines and also some claws so they can be used in open cut mines and quarries.

Hope I got the rest finish in time to upload for next weekend.

[Quast65]

Nice, those look really good!

Those (dark) pixels on the ground around the mobile crane are very noticable though...
Would recommend a sweeper

Woops meant to show you these.

These could go well with a cement truck backed up to them.

Anyone know what they call these?

Nice!

I believe Concrete Pump Truck or Cement Pump Truck
They indeed get fed by a cement truck:

Did some research several countries even in Australia known as "Putzmeister" as that is the name of the company who made them in Germany.
In English that word means "Plaster Master".
They also known as "Concrete Pump Truck" so for game play I will use this as it explains what it does.
I made these and had to use 2x1 size tiles as both trucks a bit long to fit the 2 on one tile. Not sure yet is I should maybe use 1 tile and over lap the cab sectin of the "Concrete Pump Truck"

One day I get chance to work on them all to overlap and can be placed on normal roads like I did to the emergency vehicles.

[Quast65]

Yes, I think that is worth the try!
It looks like everything should just be able to fit in the catchment of one tile.
At least the ones at the back of a tile, maybe just shorten the arm for the ones at the front of the tile...

Furthermore, there are also Pump Mixer Trucks:

What would it look like if you put the arm on a mixer truck?
For small construction jobs.

Unfortunately the 2 trucks back to back not fit on one tile.

They might go good too .. shall look into them n Friday.

Busy next 2 days with shopping and train riding.

They can, as long as you fit them within this window:

Example851.png (3.75 KiB) Viewed 2510 times

They will overlap a bit towards the back, but thats ok.

Here some examples:

ExampleConcrete.png (6.33 KiB) Viewed 2510 times

They get closest to the edge of a tile at the back, but the ones close to the front of a tile are ok too.
Should work the same for the other direction.

EDIT:
I think a couple of options (multi-click, with different positions/lengths of the crane) with versions in the middle and at the far end is good enough.
That should only take up 1 ID with 4 views.
I think that those at the near end of a tile dont look that good.

Subject: Retaining Walls

I got side tracked again. Yesterday when I was train riding I noticed some house on slopes with retaining walls and it gave me the idea do do something similar.

Looking at doing these for beaches and for inland away from the beaches.
But to give you idea I will start with the beaches.
I placing retaining walls on the beach tiles so look like these.

BeachFoundations.png (7.5 KiB) Viewed 2367 times

This will then allow you to place what ever you like on the slope behind them like this.

BeachFoundations2.png (15.43 KiB) Viewed 2367 times

I coded a test set and gave them a try and these some things I hope we be able to do.

While it fresh on my find I put the constructions on hold while I examine this new idea.
