Adding Industry to Attachment Points

[bigboy4010]

So, as I build my latest railroad, I've been using a lot of Bendorsey's industry buildings. However, they have no industry in them, they're just for looks. But, according to Ben, the buildings have attachments points to attach industry to. How exactly is this accomplished? I'm guessing I have to edit the script, but I wouldn't know if I was making my own virus or the next breakthrough in programming by messing with that stuff. Many thanks for any information.

One way is to use an industry track (multiple industry or LARS), place Ben's building by it and attach a length of invisible track to Ben's to hide it. To make sure it doesn't attach to the real track I twist it out to one side before clicking. It will do the same job provided you don't want visible unloaded/ready to load goods.

Just delete the track-attached portion of the config file.. Then you won't have to deal with the non-industry track at all. It's makes it a lot easier to put the Lars, multi-industry track or whatever exactly where you want it. That's what I've done with some of Ben's content.

So I can't just make it have an industry. Okay, that's fine. Thanks for the information guys. I appreciate it.

If I remember correctly Ben has updated some of his buildings to be active industries. Perhaps looking at their config files might give you a clue if you really want to go down this road. Alternatively why not PM Ben himself.
