Some good industries

[clarelvsroxy]

What are some good industries that are available for download to Trainz 12? I don't if many among us here have ever played the Railroad Tycoon series but it had numerous industries that had to be supplied and produced a certain amount of cargo i.e.

Grain Silo > Demands: Fertilizer, Produces: Grain
Brewery > Demands: Grain, Produces: Alcohol
Auto Plant > Demands: Rubber, Steel, Produces: Cars
Steel Mill > Demands: Coal, Iron, Produces: Steel

These are a very short list of the industries in Railroad Tycoon 2. I was wondering just how many Trainz has?

Hey, you know, it's really cool with trainz, better than RRT 3, even, because of the industry tracks -- from the 'buildings' tab, with multiple industry tracks you lay on on your roadbed, and then ? them and choose which of many products you want that track-spot to generate or accept. Then, you just stick some kind of factory-object next to that track and you're good for widgets.

Sweet. And would I be correct in assuming you could script more cargo types if you feel that anything is missing from the list?

oof, i usually just find products from the independent web sites, sites reflecting where the concept came into trainz in the first place. like, trainz pro routes, i think, where "LARS" is the tag for these objects.

What were you thinking of? like, you'd probably have to package up your own pallets of 'condoms', but you'll certainly find 'beets', or even 'sherman tank'.

I notice textiles are missing, being a woman I'd like to transport clothes

There are these 2 textile items:
Textile Mill DES,<kuid:101046:100524>
Textile Roll,<kuid:32711:100111>

How exactly do you package your own custom cargos? Are there any tutorials?

I think it's possible to just repaint the cargo wagon
