Thank you!

@Pdguru : The person magnet can be found in the category: "Free object tools" or is the category sub-symbol with the wrench. There you will see the quadrilateral preview image, which can be seen in the top right corner of the photo :-)

In which selection menu is the stone?
JoeFried  [author] 10 Apr, 2019 @ 8:51am 
@svartman : In fact, no stones disappear, they are at most overbuilt or buried by construction projects. The game mechanics only supports a limited number of stones. The number is related to the total number of inhabitants that can be produced on the map. There is a given growth on the map, which you can not change with the stones. One only creates cheaper or shorter ways, which are then preferred by the persons / game mechanics.
For easier recovery of the stones you can also choose the colorful variant.
TPF has changed the collision data extremely, which is why some objects also manage to build on the stones. To prevent this, you can build your own collision objects in the vicinity of the stones.
Tip: People like to like "business stones". So you should not put so many dwelling stones, as they move people from the cities. Therefore often times a business stone set. Industriesteine ​​are very hesitantly accepted or need a little more time :-)

@JoeFried I am using clear map. There are roads and vehicles and of course stones. Probably a map supports limited count stones?
JoeFried  [author] 9 Apr, 2019 @ 9:02am 
@svartman : No - the stones will still be there. Presumably, the landscapes in the area were raised. When roads or buildings are built with collision, the landscape heights change. Even if you work with the tool for landscaping, you can bury the stones from provided. Since you should take care while building something on it :)

Hello! After some time stones disappeared. Is it bag or common process?
JoeFried  [author] 23 May, 2018 @ 8:12am 
@phonebook : Part: Ultimately you should also try :-)
phonebook 23 May, 2018 @ 7:41am 
@JoeFried Now I understand!! thank you. So if i put a dwelling stone far from a town, will the people try to get to the town? will they walk if i give them no transport?
JoeFried  [author] 23 May, 2018 @ 6:06am 
@phonebook : The dwelling stone creates some people and the others attract people.
phonebook 23 May, 2018 @ 4:24am 
@JoeFried so it is more like the stones create the new spawning of people- not attracting them like a magnet?
JoeFried  [author] 23 May, 2018 @ 4:04am 
@phonebook : People live in stone, others work in a "work stone" or others go shopping in a stone. Depending on the definition of the stone. If you click on a person who comes from a stone or enters into one, then you can take this information. Instead of a city name, a "number" will appear; similar to a postal code.
phonebook 23 May, 2018 @ 2:20am 
@joeFred thanks, but I think I don't understand, does that mean they go to the stone and dissapear?
JoeFried  [author] 23 May, 2018 @ 2:13am 
@phonebook : The stone symbolizes a building. Depending on the stone, there is a residential building, office building or factory.
phonebook 23 May, 2018 @ 1:56am 
what happens to the people when they go to the magnet? do they dissappear? or do they just crowd there?
JoeFried  [author] 5 May, 2018 @ 3:20am 
@thegamingaziz : Please see the attached explanation.

how do u use it
JoeFried  [author] 5 Apr, 2018 @ 7:02am 
Hi andoblock, THX: Excellent, in the modbox is a better overall order :-)
andoblock 5 Apr, 2018 @ 5:31am 
It wasnt there but i downloaded the modbox and found it. Thanks for your help though.
JoeFried  [author] 5 Apr, 2018 @ 5:29am 
Hi andoblock : "landscaping-tool-decoration" and then "Objects for free placement - tools" ( is the category sub-symbol with the wrench)
andoblock 5 Apr, 2018 @ 2:17am 
Is this under roads? If so i cant find it.

Where do i find the stone?
JoeFried  [author] 31 Mar, 2018 @ 10:48pm 
Just put the stone near or on the street. The program then automatically detects the connection :-)
[DFC] Titelloser 26 Mar, 2018 @ 10:14am 
Danke :D
JoeFried  [author] 26 Mar, 2018 @ 10:13am 
Hi KnockbackKing : Ja - Du hast Recht - es ist an der Zeit den Eintrag zu bearbeiten - Danke für den Hinweis - ist nun geschehen :-)
[DFC] Titelloser 26 Mar, 2018 @ 9:34am 
Heyho, mir wurde erzählt, dass seit dem letzten Patch die Steine auch abreißbar sind.
Kannst du den Hinweis dann auch aus der Beschreibung entfernen, da er ja nicht mehr ganz aktuell ist? ^^
JoeFried  [author] 25 Mar, 2018 @ 11:07am 
Yes and No - please see the "closer" explanations of this mod :-)
Scronny 25 Mar, 2018 @ 10:43am 
Does it have effect on cities?
Max Well 24 Mar, 2018 @ 10:27pm 
Cool, then I will upload it today. Thanks again! =)
JoeFried  [author] 24 Mar, 2018 @ 10:21pm 
Hi Max Well, do as you want it :-)
Max Well 24 Mar, 2018 @ 6:56pm 
Hello, JoeFried! Thank you for this great mod, it gives many posibilities in game!
I created a similar mod - Cargo Magnet. I used your mod like tutorial and example for create my own code, however most of the code is different. So, will it be OK to upload my CM to Steam with mention of your mod, or you're absolutely against this?
JoeFried  [author] 14 Mar, 2018 @ 11:28am 
You can read everything in the descriptions :-)
gavt1976 14 Mar, 2018 @ 11:10am 
Can somebody tells me how this works please, and what it does on the game. :)
JoeFried  [author] 25 Nov, 2017 @ 11:59pm 
@MajorOwnige : A "goods cube" could also be developed by a modder. But what extended sense should he have? If you do not want goods, you simply can not deliver anything to the city. If you want bigger city growth, you change the values of "base_config.lua". There one increases the value "game.config.townGrowthFactor" and already the city explodes. :-)
MajorOwnige 25 Nov, 2017 @ 7:06pm 
@JoeFried just wondering but have you considered if something similar like a 'supply cube' which meets the goods supply demands of a city without a transport chain at all? I know it sounds odd in a Transport game. But I just want to focus on passenger rail and trams. Trucks supplying areas so they will grow faster is a real distraction.
JoeFried  [author] 19 Sep, 2017 @ 5:28am 
@COchettO : Yes - You have correctly noticed. The July patch has improved the person magnet. My warnings remain, however, because old savegames are still built with old person magnet.

Basically, I remain cautious with:
Roads on which the person's magnet is built! It is possible that an AI can no longer find its way.

Much fun yet :-)

Hello JoeFried.

I really enjoy your mod but I was a little annoyed that I couldn't modify or delete an existing stone without risk.

I've been doing some heavy testing lately and I find that I can do all of that without any problem actually. I've tried it on both new and existing games. On heavily modded saves or not. And I can demolish stones, change their types, their size... Basically anything works just fine for me.

Is it possible the latest july patch from the game corrected those issue ?

Of course I can't directly demolish a stone hidden under another asset, but I simply demolish the first asset, then the stone and put the other asset back (or simply put it on the pavement just nearby the entrance) and it still works like a charm.

Do you know a special setup that would break the game while destroying ? I haven't tested the renaming though ....
JoeFried  [author] 13 Sep, 2017 @ 9:18pm 
@maxi11111 : The magnet works effectively in a circle of 8 houses. If you build this near the road connection, then this is correct :-)
Leigh 13 Sep, 2017 @ 1:13pm 
Hi JoeFried, if I wanted to draw people to an airport, I would use the commercial node, right?

Thanks for any reply!
JoeFried  [author] 12 Sep, 2017 @ 4:36pm 
@maxi11111 : Den Personenmagneten findet man in der Kategorie: "Freiplatzierbare Objekte - tools" bzw. ist das Kategorieuntersymbol mit dem Schraubenschlüssel. Dort siehst Du dann das viereckige Vorschaubild, dass oben rechts im Foto zu sehen ist :-)
CSMONEY promobot 12 Sep, 2017 @ 11:20am 
wie kann man den magnet platzieren bzw wo findet man ihn
JoeFried  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 6:20am 
The mod gives you the possibility to choose where you want a special public transport on any asset objects or points on the map :-)
Ama-Gi 25 Aug, 2017 @ 4:37pm 
This is a fantastic idea. Outside of the RCI chain, i think this would be useful for tourism simulation. Seems like it still needs some work.

nice

@JayJay : A person who clicks out of the stone :-)
And then:
.. 2. Choose a person from the stone; a window will appear.
.... 3. Select the "Details" section and select the number of the city / building.
...... 4. A new "rename" window will appear.
........ 5. Select "Upgrade"; a new window will appear.
.......... 6. Select ONLY the new "number of persons" and confirm with "Apply".
............ 7. Close all windows!
JoeFried  [author] 28 May, 2017 @ 9:44pm 
@JayJay: Hi - tearing does not go; but you can reduce these to one person per month. There is a statement at the top of the description. :-)

As with the last time this was posted, OP the English translation makes very little sense
If someone can translate OP's German explanation into English, that'd be great
JoeFried  [author] 24 Apr, 2017 @ 5:40pm 
@Moddisk : Danke für Dein Verständnis :-) Mir hatte das auch Kopfzerbrechen bereitet.
Darum ist es meinerseits auch erwünscht, dass fehlende Updat-Dateien unter Usern ausgetauscht werden.
