After some more time running, outside passenger train is also greatly reduced and with full load, no more queue too:steamhappy:

works great, I did have issue where if I put outside connects at the recommended three instead of default 2. with the three I noticed that incoming transport train and intercity buses became super heavy with min passengers. My intercity bus station also created hundreds of empty buses leaving as well. At the 2, intercity bus arrival is extremely rare and the incoming transport trains come in batches of 4 or 5 full trains.

The mod still works well (train, ship and plane)
Mainly use it for tackling train issue.
For now amount of cargo train is greatly reduced which is super great.
Amount of outside train is also reduced but not as effective as cargo one.
They still need to queue to get into the station but will no longer stuck everything. :steamhappy:

For those that get this to work great for you. Doesn't work for me. Most cargo trains run 5, 7, 13% full at the recommended setting of 4X. Set it to 9x nothing changed and say I did a full restart after changing the setting. Cargo trains still run almost empty. If they were 50% I'd have no train at all. But with most going 13% or less they backup off the map. After all these years trains are still broken in this game. Well not broken but horribly coded. No Cargo train in the world is running down the train 5% full 99% of the time. The rail company would go broke.

This mod doesn't solve the issue where intercity trains spawn in my station each one by one, but it does work for outside connections only.. rip
Clever_Skipper 6 May @ 12:43pm 
Still works and reduces the numbers of freight trains to a realistic level.

Can someone confirm that this mod just works as of now?
Necko 4 Mar @ 12:00pm 
@TsukiRunsu it works, the mod just increase wait time, nothing else
TsukiRunsu 21 Feb @ 11:41pm 
Does this mod still work? Sick of the fact that my cruise ships only have 3 people in it.
truffleshuffle 10 Feb @ 11:04am 
I'm also seeing NO intercity buses as others have commented, but passenger/cargo trains seem to work fine for me with this mod enabled.
J45P3RYU 26 Jan @ 10:02am 
Has anyone else encountered the problem that intercity trains don't spawn?
UmbreLlaZ 29 Dec, 2024 @ 6:48am 
the same issue - no intercity buses
lightslayer 29 Nov, 2024 @ 9:22pm 
this mod was not allowing intercity buses to spawn. Once I un-subscribed to it they spawned

All of my buildings became invisible when enabling this mod.
waterman76 28 Oct, 2024 @ 11:02am 
problem with other mods like tm:pe-test possible (me having too many or none outside trains), tba
=.:[Fox122]:.= 9 Oct, 2024 @ 11:46am 
Is it possible to just simply reduce the number of dumby traffic rather then outright removing them?
caanol 30 Sep, 2024 @ 5:44am 
I don't know if it's this mod that causes the problem but there are no intercity trains spawning in my city. The train stations are set to allow them but there are none.
my fursona's huge tail 31 Jul, 2024 @ 5:39pm 
i don't know if it is this mod causing this - but no trains are spawning at outside connections, and upon deleting the tracks the pedestrians waiting do not despawn
Gershu 30 Jul, 2024 @ 4:54pm 
I left a msg in the "Everyone's thoughts on traffic in version 1.14?" thread, but I'm not entirely sure this mod if being updated or cared for anymore. Couldn't find any alternative mod, maybe someone can suggest another option? Cheers.
疑わしいバカ 20 Jun, 2024 @ 4:35pm 
It appears this mod doesn't play friendly with other mods and in my case specifically outside train connections, very sad to see but oh well
Lastvance 9 May, 2024 @ 5:12pm 
Pretty much the same here Moyo
Moyocoya 20 Mar, 2024 @ 3:05am 
I'm having a little problem with the cargo ship delay.
I have far too many cargo ships arriving in my ports and they're only half-full. Even if I set the delay to x10, it reduces the number of cargo ships, but not enough. Is there a way of solving this problem?
Edit : I disabled dummy traffic but no change.

good
annakusz9498n 19 Dec, 2023 @ 9:03pm 
i have a problem with passenger ships coming to all kind of ports and queuing (over 30 easily) and more keep spawning. City is being flooded by tourists (yay?)

well, i Guess the good times are over with CS1... no way community will be updating mods since CS2 is out. THanks for maintaining nevertheless, it was fun... :)

P.S. OH, and thank you CO, for totally ready and playable vanilla version of this game :'D
Lastvance 9 Dec, 2023 @ 8:39pm 
same here
desira 2 Nov, 2023 @ 7:11am 
I had to unsubscribe this mod. My whole city was dying coz of no cargo trains, ships and planes.
Redeye 11 Sep, 2023 @ 5:50pm 
can't seem to enable the mod. nothing happens.
Captaiin 3 Aug, 2023 @ 5:24pm 
Hi, will this mod work with Transfer Manager CE?
Quboid  [author] 20 Jul, 2023 @ 3:20pm 
That could be the issue, qstar.inc. I'd need to see your input_log.txt file; sending via Discord is best but you could upload it anywhere. Make sure to do this immediately after seeing errors.
qstar.inc 20 Jul, 2023 @ 9:53am 
Whenever I enable this mod and start the simulation, I get bombarded with Exceptions.
I have Transfer Manager CE, the only one I think is relevant to this. Any ideas?
D3s_ToD3s 19 Jul, 2023 @ 11:52am 
This probably helps some people. However, The problem is actually that the external conection works like a regular station and doesnt just delete the oncomig trains fast enough to deal with demand.

The only way i could imagine, is to limit yourself to not have to many intercity connected cargo stations. because if the number of such stations exceeds the number of external connections and thus produce more trains than can be removed by the border stations, you will inevitably end up with a traffic jam.
ctcatuga 11 Jul, 2023 @ 6:44pm 
@Toaster Bath - the outside rail connections are basically train stations. If you have 81 tiles and some kind of fog remover, you can bring train stops to the connection. I have in all of my cities.
StayHungryStayFoolish 10 Jul, 2023 @ 2:15am 
@notDONEyet this mod is working just fine. You can slow down the vehicles turning back at the edge. That's all.
notDONEyet 10 Jul, 2023 @ 1:03am 
it looks like its not working anymore :( :(
Moyocoya 8 Jul, 2023 @ 3:35am 
As far as I can see, and knowing that I have no mod affecting outside connections, what I can say is that I see no differences with/without this mod.
Quboid  [author] 4 Jul, 2023 @ 2:07pm 
I believe this mod works on its own, but there is likely to be compatibility issues with other mods that affect outside connections.
--JR-- 4 Jul, 2023 @ 1:03pm 
--RIP-- Mod may be broken, but never forgotten... --RIP--
cearense 1 Jul, 2023 @ 3:56pm 
not working, too many useless trains. It was a great mod. F
Jakiplo 29 Jun, 2023 @ 10:55am 
edit: it seems to be an issue with the game itself and not from this mod
Jakiplo 28 Jun, 2023 @ 3:27pm 
passenger trains failing to spawn at outside connections causing massive blockages. When clicking on TMPE lane connector, the white circle on the middle of the edge segment can either be at weird position or twined somehow, or absent (one circle per track so there should be 2 at each last segment). I will unsub for now and checking for updates of this mod

Toaster Bath 25 Jun, 2023 @ 6:15pm 
My outside connections are spawning pedestrians and is seeming to treat railways as a train station, causing backups throughout my city rail system. The networks connected to them also are causing it to clip with the map. I'm unsure if it's from this mod but im starting here because it's the one that makes the most sense.
man man 22 Jun, 2023 @ 7:48pm 
Getting nearly empty passenger trains again, any fixes?
Devitana 17 Jun, 2023 @ 1:11am 
Helped me a lot
Maarten 7 Jun, 2023 @ 6:09pm 
@deup: That was the fix and the issue. This mod is fine, it specifically warns not to use the dummy traffic function in this mod if another mod has the function, and Transfer Manager CE has the function, and I use that mod. So, problem solved. :)
rochetjeremy 7 Jun, 2023 @ 1:45pm 
Its strange, on my side its an other effect : even if dummy traffic isnt checked, there is no dummy traffic in my city.
Maybe i will try something : play with the mod and check dummy boxes, maybe its bugged and it is disable when you uncheck !
For now, I disable the mod and my dummy traffic is back
deup 7 Jun, 2023 @ 6:24am 
@Maarten I've also noticed it when starting a new city. Instead, you can try using the option to disable dummy traffic included in the Transfer Manager CE mod.
Maarten 7 Jun, 2023 @ 2:32am 
I am noticing disable dummy traffic is not working in my city. Now, I recently re-installed Windows and CS1 from scratch, and re-evaluated all mods, made some changes here and there....so it is very possible another mod is the culprit here - but what other mods affect dummy traffic or has a dummy traffic setting?
Jayeeo 1 Jun, 2023 @ 10:17am 
Passenger trains are not showing up in my city. I only have truck dummy traffic disabled for this mod.
Angelhearth 28 May, 2023 @ 2:21am 
Is this mod in some way messing with the outside trains? If I make a station at the entrance point and set up an internal rail line, the outside trains will start popping up, driving to the station (sliding is more like it) and all passengers following after, then just disappearing after a few seconds. Without that station, no trains, at all, as in ever.
