Looking to migrate to the vanilla carts in The Adventures Pack? Nate McCloud was kind enough to make a mod with recipes converting the mod items to vanilla with self-craft recipes. Head over to https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811543623 to subscribe.

Sorry, as noted in the description the mod is no longer supported. Translation support would also be too much work given that the mod was developed well before translation support was implemented for the main game. The official freight carts has translation built in though so if you find someone to support Chinese translation then there's potential for that if you get the Adventures Pack DLC.

Need Chinese Thank you.

No, but there is a small window where timing can allow two or more carts to enter a station simultaneously. It would be a very difficult bug to fix and as the mod has been discontinued it will remain.

Are multiple carts supposed to be able to load/unload simultaneously at one station?

Yes, the mod should still work but I won't be updating it anymore. As P23 is likely the last or second to last major patch for FCE it should remain usable. If another patch comes along and somehow breaks it then I may update it but a frozen patch branch would always be sufficient to continue using it.

Just to make it clear for my silly head here;
As of update P22 there is no longer support for this mod due to the mods function/goal is now part of the core game?

After update P21 the mod "should work" unless core files breaks it?

Thanks for clearing it as something i have a hard time wrapping my head around things and want to make sure i understand it fully.
Thanks in advance
Damaske!

ye more dlc please more, maybe 1 week 1 dlc 15 $, Eh this savkins.

That makes sense. Cool so I’ll just keep my rails for now and wait until I get some upgrades. Thanks Steve

Scrap carts have slow load speeds. Regular carts load 3 per sec.

"I've set each station for a couple thousand or so iron ore" this makes me think you had a nonsensicle configuration to start with. A station must have something to offer for a cart to collect from it.

Ok so I replaced the each depot and redid them, not sure what i did this time but the carts are loading ores, though EXTREMELY slowly, like maybe 1 ore every 5 seconds.

I've set each station for a couple thousand or so iron ore if that's what you mean.

Also, there's already help screens and pages of handbook entries on system setup. Everything I could put into a tutorial is already covered.

But have you set target quantities for stock at each station? Carts will only take items that are needed for transit. They don't just collect randomly.

I have one cart assigned to each station and i right clicked with the ore i'm looking for. Other than that i'm not sure what else to do. Maybe a tutorial video for retards like me? lol

Did you configure the freight goods and cart assignments?

Ok scratch that I got the thing to dispatch carts but now I can't get them to go between my stations, they just make a bee line for the closest one and ignore the others.

I think i missed something because I have the depot set next to the track but its telling me there's no valid track connection.

Yes, I've got an update ready to push when P21 releases that will remain compatible alongside the vanilla version.

Question: Will this MOd work with p21?

So there is something to say for Pokemon Exception Handling after all. :P

Thanks for the fix!

Haha, I did have a catch on that... but the exception type was wrong. I've doubly patched it to prevent the issue so it should be good to go now. Just pushed the update. Thanks again for the report!

I should add that a main feature of my base right now is that things are either blocked because of full output or because of empty inputs. There isn't really all that much processing going on. I guess that makes for rather an exercise in edge cases in the freight network.

And there might be a few carts trying to route missile parts or something else that I've removed the stations for post-overminds.

Oh that's interesting. At first I thought I caught that case but perhaps there is an issue when it is empty. Will have a look tonight.

A few messages earlier:

Error, can't retrieve item from FreightCart as it's empty.

And we're back with more update thread crashes on P19:

Okay, figured it out. Apparently that last little change I fit it wasn't as low risk as I thought and screwed up all of the pathing. Verified the changes immediately before pushing this build. It's all good to go. I have only one more minor thing I want to get it before shifting development to the tasks related to mod merger so there's only going to be one more notable patch before it's stable and free of risk that I'll blow the whole thing up again like that.

Odd... I found a bug related to this and fixed it before pushing the patch. Will have another look.

I just saw a cart go upslope without problems, so that seems to be fine.

Derailment appears to happen when carts do down a slope. They don't go down, they just derail.

It might also have something to do with tour cart stations, but that could just be a coincidence since I placed a few near important junctions and those are both near slopes.

Oh dr Steveman what have you done, there once were lots of carts on rails but soon there will be none. I need to build a ramp cause those carts don't go straight down, oh dr Steveman what a naughty man you are! (Sorry, this song has been stuck in my head ever since I started with carts. ;) )

The latest patch seems to have caused a lot of derailments and broken networks. I'm not yet sure what's causing them but it seems to have something to do with ramps, possibly ramps close to junctions.

Yup. Crash is gone now. Thanks for the fix.

Just pushed a fix that should take care of it.

I should add that this happens directly after loading the game. Even quicker than the previous thread crash bug.

Okay, will have a look. Thanks.

I'm afraid I got another mob update thread crash:

Awesome great to hear! Thanks for the report!

I just verified that it works. Thanks for the quick fix Steve!

Just pushed a fix for this. Sorry for missing it in testing! That was probably the last notable core functionality change so hopefully no more critical mod-stopping bugs at this point. The rest of the work is UI polish and enhancements which should generally only introduce avoidable bugs at worst.

Err nvm needed to scroll the post...

I need the rest of the original error. I need to know where it is. It must be related to my changes yesterday. Must have missed it in testing.

Possibly related messages earlier in the log:

FreightCartMob going idle because it is stuck with excess item and no station assignment

Ore Extractor doing final Mining extraction before moving to Clearing on next update, due to wanting to remove 160 ore when there was only 160 ore left!

No Minecart_Entity found - was this a modded mob?

Error, can't retrieve item from FreightCart as it's empty.

I'm getting an mob update thread crash when I enter my world. Odd thing is, yesterday the world worked fine. Today I just hopped in to use the holobase to locate my extractor and at some point this error popped up. I restarted the game and then it pops up immediately.

steve when you mentioned discord i have to ask what discord server?

Found a possible cause for carts derailing at start related to returning to depots. Added an extra check to try to find other open depots. The primary solution there would be just to ensure your depots have a fair bit of spare room to accept carts.

A full copy of the log might be better if you can drop it on Discord or pastebin.

I need the actual error. I've never had an error at that point before so something odd must be happening. Derailing may be a consequence of the crash but the log should tell you why they derailed so I could look more closely at it then.
