📋 About This Mod

Reclassifies base game freight rolling stock with a DNI 'DO NOT INTERCHANGE' prefix (CarType Filter) which prevents industries from ordering these cars from interchanges.

NOTE: this mod has been deprecated and will no longer be developed.

Strongly encourage trying out Service Configurator instead, which provides much more specific car filtering per industry!

Are you running modern (1970+) rolling stock on your railroad? Or have you installed many types/classes of custom rolling stock mods?

Tired of seeing the base game freight assets mixed in with your custom consists?

Inspired by AAR's 'obsolescence & modernization' guidelines for rolling stock, and borne from "Salty's Industry Modifier" and "Latom's Global Modernization Mod", this mod effectively removes the base game freight rolling stock from 'interchange' service and they will no longer be ordered by industries.

TWO MAIN OPTIONS

  • []FULL - this removes all base game freight rolling stock from interchange service[/]

    []TRANSITIONAL - this leaves several modern assets available for interchange service:[/]

    []50ft Steel Boxcar, USRA 70T 3-Bay Hopper, G-50-9 Gondola, 70T Mill Gondola, 55ft High-Side Gondola, PRR Flatcar F30[/]

    Optional Mod: EXT (extended private use)

    Private Use: you (your railroad) can still use the base game freight rolling stock (Boxcars, Hoppers, Tankers) to order supplies (Coal, Diesel, Repair Parts)

    (still requires the base UMM Mod)

    NOTE: any custom rolling stock that 'clones' the base game freight cars may break using this mod if I have not included them in 'LoadAfter' configuration. This mod needs to run (load) last in UMM.

    If you have custom rolling stock that is being broken by this mod, please let me know so I can add that mod to the 'LoadAfter' list to correct the issue!

    !!! WARNING !!!

    Enabling this mod on an existing save will likely result in the following:

    - Industries will re-order any existing (setout/delivered) base game cars regardless of load status. You should be paid for interchange return. The industries will re-order using available modded rolling stock of matching type (class).

    - Industries will re-waybill any in-transit/enroute deliveries you have in your consists back to the interchange. You will likely not be paid for the return-trip.

    - If you opted for the PRIVATE USE option, any diesel, coal, or repair parts orders you have in progress should still be completed. If you didn't opt for PRIVATE USE, these cars may be orphaned or return full but unable to be unloaded at your shops.

    - There is the remote possibility that a car may be simply orphaned with no waybill set. Unfortunately you will likely need to delete the car fro
