TOO MANY 2OFT CONTAINERS

If you get problems with cars unable to load or unload 20ft containers, here is one possible explanation. There is a commodity called "20 ft containers" (note the "s" at the end) and is depicted by a green looking container, That is easy to recognise and it,s not causing a problem. There is another commodity called "20ft container" which is depicted by a blue container. This is the problem one. There are, in fact, two commodities called "20ft container" depicted by the same blue container and are impossible to tell apart. I have devised a simple "fix". If the car won,t load or unload the 20ft containers do the normal car and Min checks first. If you can not find a reason for the failure open up the MIN once more and select "new commodity" When the commodity List opens select the remaining 20ft container and ONLY THEN delete the first one (on the left). Then on the next page delete the 20ft container and add the new one. On the 3rd page and 4th pages it,s the normal setting up procedure. I hope this will help your frustration.

These are the 3 built-in 20ft containers, all of which are Build 2.0:
20ft Container,<kuid:49267:35000>
20ft Containers,<kuid2:49267:35004:1>
20ft Container,<kuid:-3:10014>
The first 2 are listed in CM3.6 with the barrel Type symbol (Commodity), the last one is listed as Type Misc. This because the config.txt file in kuid:-3:10014 doesn't have a category-class "IC" tag.
