Request for a Universal All-Climate Industry Set

I am thinking of reworking my Africa scenario now that NewIndustries is available in OTTD, so that I can have all the standard industries from all the (real) climates on one map.
This would allow Zimbabwe to have Iron Ore mines, South Africa to have Gold Mines, etc.
Is there a set out there that just replicates the normal industries, but makes them all available at the same time? I would not want to use the ECS sets, as they have other items that would totally change gameplay (eg. production limits, etc.).
Is there anyone out there willing to glue an industry set together? All the graphics are done of course, so you can reference into the existing sprite sets for the graphics.
I hope someone would be willing to assist.
Cheers, RichK

Problem with that is that you can only have 36 (I believe) industry types (or is that cargo types) in any given game. Pikka's Industry Set is probably the closest you'll get to what you're looking for at the moment.

Ah, sorry. I should have been more specific. This is in particular for the OTTD world, where I dont think that limit applies. Even so, I think there are only 26-27 real industries, so that should fit in the 36 limit anyway.
Im asking in this forum, as you guys are the newgrf industry experts - and it should work for TTDP too.

I'm surprised DanMack forgot about this.
v2h of the CanSet has parameters that allow for all standard ttdx temperate and arctic industries to appear together. However, I don't think Tropic is covered.

The limit is 37 industry types. Because there are precisely 37 industry types in TTD. The cargo limit isn't quite so interesting; there are only 26 cargos in TTD, but the newcargos limit is 32.

While not complete, you could have a look at my set
OCCS. It has not been tested with OTTD but will gladly make any required changes for that to happen. Let me know if that would suit your needs.
