Ship - how to provide subtype refits with one cargo only

Post by andythenorth »

I have a ship which transports wood only. It would be useful if it could be refitted to different capacities.

Usually this would be achieved with by providing multiple refittable cargo subtypes, then checking these when handling cb 15 or 36.

In this case, because the ship has no refittable cargos, refitting is not available, so subtypes cannot be chosen by the player.

I have studied the elegant explanatory diagram frosch provided for refitting: http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php ... eRefitting

My conclusion is that what I want to achieve is currently possible, unless I provide additional refittable cargos for this ship.

Am I mistaken? Or could support for this be provided?

Why doesn't it have refittable cargos? Set the cargo type to "first available" (FF) and put WOOD and TWOD in the refit mask, that's what I'd try first.
