A question about modular train stations
I was taking a look at the freight station and fluid station and realized something... how come the fluid station has the box square? The default game's fluid station has a curved bottom instead of a sqaure one.

Alright, I just uploaded a version which has the correct models for fluid platforms

I can put a picture down in a minute
Default freight platform on the left, the modular one on the right (Both are correct)
Default fluid freight platform on the left, the modular one on the right (You can see the container on the right is supposed to have a curve on the bottom.
This is the first time I've noticed it, tbh. Let's wait and see what the author has to say
mk
also I noticed that there appears to be no empty modular platform with a walkway
and one more issue that just found out:
It appears that the text box comes off...
I actually think this is just a bug I managed to get randomly cuz I placed another station and it didn't happen
so this is still the main thing
and this I guess too
The timing of your question is really funny - I just noticed the difference in the box while browsing the subreddit earlier today and I was surprised that nobody had pointed it out yet
Yeah
Well I noticed it lmao
But what are the chances that we'd both notice it on the same day!
Maybe it's a 1.1 change?!
Since when I placed the normal one before, I was litterally just focusing on the curved bottom for some reason
Like, I don’t even know why I was
Maaaybe but I wouldn't be surprised if it's been in there all along
So I guess that helped me notice the modular one’s error
I didn't notice that fluid platforms have different gantry caps than regular ones until I started making the mod
So I am not the most observant guy
There is 1 other thing in here, (unless you wanna count the bug I encounter randomly that just fixed itself anyway)
Which is that there is no modular empty platform with a catwalk
The missing "empty platform with walkways" is intentional
The vanilla ones don't make sense at all - the walkways don't have anything to support them
True
I added the "Gantry platform" variants instead
Unless you add the support yourself :clueless:
But that’s fine
They have the same functionality (no docking, yes walkway) but they have a support
True
The thing about the sign is probably a real issue
The way that station text is set up was changed in 1.1
Yeah I placed it down again, it was fixed
The mod tools aren't completely updated for handling it
So idk what happened when I placed it down first
I incorporated a hack which manually repositions it when the station pieces are placed
But there is probably some corner case where the hack doesn't fire for some reason
Ah
I expect that in a future update the stubs that I use for modding will be updated and I'll have a more robust way of placing station text
In the meantime, if it happens, re-building the station should fix things
For the cargo box I know what the issue is and it's an easy fix. I'll see if I can do it right now.
I’ll be able to check it out soon
I’m going to other family members house tomorrow and like the mad man that I am, bringing my entire computer with me
(It’s not a laptop)
Uhhh how long is the trip?

hey, wanted to say that it looks all good now
