Editing Industries for TLR/DLR

[ColPrice2002]

I've been having some success using the TLR and DLR (in SP6 and beta versions).
Multi-track industries require editing to add a section for the DLR/TLR to identify which track and commodities to use.

I've run into a problem (surprise!). Many of the older multitrack industries can be edited, but will report errors and are unuseable.
If I use a more recent version, I find that often the commodities have been changed to different Kuids -
For example
Lumber Mill <Kuid:-25:630) from Auran has a number of updated versions on the DLS e.g. "Auran's Lumber Mill Basic V5" <Kuid2:95230:100510:2> by jjeff1995.
The latter can be modified for the DLR/TLR, however, it creates "Wood Chips V2" <Kuid:95230:117205> - which isn't recognised by other industries on the route as they use "Wood Chips" <kuid:-310002>.
I've modified the config.txt of the "Auran's Lumber Mill Basic V5", but the industry produces the V2 version so this doesn't solve my problem....

Any suggestions from our experts?

Cheers,

Colin

Can you add the original "Wood Chips" to the allowed products? I think that's what it's called, my brain's a bit fuzzy on the details for this.

Thanks for the thoughts - I’ve changed the kuid table in the config file, but the industry accepts logs and still produces “wood chips V2” and lumber. The other industries on the route accept the older “wood chips” commodity and use them in their production process.

Being unskilled in the construction of industries, I’m guessing that the industries config and *.gs files pass info to the industry.gs which controls the process.

Another difficulty is that by adding the instruction for DLR (beta version) to old multi-track industries will often report errors when submitting the assets as they aren’t built to the latest guidelines.
Cheers,

The version issue is a problem due to how things have changed between build 3.7 and the latest builds for assets. Have you thought of updating the script? I don't know about you, but editing scripts is out of my comfort zone and I wouldn't know where to begin though.
