Mod to make AI build Large Stations
Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2017 4:06 am
The AI like to build Medium Stations. To help their revenue, this mod replaces the Medium Station with a second "Large Station." The default Medium Station moves into the place of the Small Station, and the Small Station has been dropped.
This mod does minimal edits with no new files, so compatibility should be good. Even saved games should work fine.

Sept. 4, Update on compatibility: All maps with pre-laid track/stations (default) and saved games I've tried so far have loaded fine. However, there is a drawback that any Medium Station (built in a default install) can't be upgraded, and trying to upgrade any Small Station (built in a default install) will cause a game crash. Because the AI never upgrade stations anyway, it doesn't really affect them. Any new stations they build will obviously be the large variety and help their performance. The impact is on what the player can do. The player can always bulldoze the old instead of an upgrade. Obviously for a single player game with many pre-built stations, may as well not use this mod. Perhaps, also where AI are almost totally pre-built.

Gumboots helped out, and there's a little more info on the inception here. Any comments welcome.
