Forklift-M1A

Description
Forklift-M1A

- medium forklift station size 2x4 on the grid
- 25L fuel storage tank
- needs electricity


System explained
Maybe its good to know there is an idea behind all these different station varriants. Eventually I want to make it possible to tight a thight and neat FLT network around my road cargo stations. I also want them to match the theme's (see list further down) of the road cargo staions.

Next to the 5 stop n-series of my road cargo staions I made a 5 stop m-series (with the road in the middle of the asset) and will make a 5 stop L-series (with road low in and high out) and 6 stop variants with these 3 road in/out combinations. To connect all these ideally I make 11 road in/out for each theme on the medium FLT stations and 21(!) versions of the large FLT stations (I'm not sure im willing to go there but I have made some "critical" ones already).

WIth so many different assets to be made I hade to make some kind of system that will make atleast some sence in the workshop, in game and with the thumbnails for these assets. To keep it as short as poosible this is what i came up with:


S = Small size (2x2) = 4 forklift
M = medium size (2x4) = 6 forklift
L = Large size (4x4) = 8 forklift


1 = road in/out version 1
2 = road in/out version 2
3 = road in/out version 3
etc.
(max 3 versions on s sized FLT stations)
(max 11 versions on m sized FLT stations)
(max 21 versions on L sized FLT stations)


A = Asphalt open air
B = Tarmac open air
C = Gravel open air
D = Mud open air
E = Concreet building / asphalt
F = Concreet building / tarmac
G = Steel building / asphalt
H = Steel building / tarmac
I = Brick building / asphalt
J = Brick building / gravel
K = Brick building / mud
L = Wood building / asphalt
M = Wood building / gravel
N = Wood building / mud

additional versions of the same theme will be followed with V1, V2, V3 etc.


1 = only street lights
2 = street lights + cargo lights + trough traffic lights
3 = street lights + cargo lights + one-way traffic lights

These are only used if there are multiple versions of the same asset availeble. For instance you wont see these on brick or wood themes because I dont see traffic lights matching the theme.

to much assets!
When all is build and uploaded this complete set will contain 100's of assets. I would higly suggets to stick with a theme or 2 max 3 and only download the assets your really need. I will make workshop collections onces more is uploaded so you can easely find the parts you need

one-way road simulated
It's not possible to use one-way road and _ALLOWPASS (drive trough asset). So the assets with the one-way lights on them have a normal (in and out) road connection on each side. You can ofcourse make the roads leading in and out one-way so there's still the idea of one-way traffic trough these assets.

If there is a modder that knows how to make one-way _ALLOWPASS assets please let me know!

dependencies
I know there are a lot of dependencies for these assets. I make all my assets in the building editor and these are the ones I use. I'm not willing to search trough all my individual assets and find the dependencies I used. Instead i went for the option that if you download the dependencies for 1 of my assets you will be good for all of my assets.

Its a forklift staion?

what this thing even do
willemdhj  [author] 7 Mar, 2023 @ 5:58am 
Thanks buddy, will do!

Please continue as you have planned, they look great, plenty of connections and are most functional.
If you do have the time, obviously you have the skill, please do consider an 8 station variant, as you have mentioned.
Well done for creating these.

Hi buddy,

Thanks for the comments, im all ears for constructive feedback!

I know that 8 FLT will work on stretched out FTL roads but the purpose of this set is to make a compact road cargo setup with factories and storage close to any cargo stations.

Next to that you will be able to fully surround the cargo staion with FLT stations (1 on each side =4). This will give 24 FLT's if you only use medium FLT stations (32 FLT if you use large stations). This should be more than enough to unloud your trucks super fast ;-)

If you really want me to make them with 8 FLT's I can make them as a new set ofcoure but first I'll finish of the 6 stations

FYI, not a criticism but just an observation...

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2943515053

it isn't that difficult to have all 8 FLT's in constant use. Many factors will decide that of course, influenced by liking to use FLT's.

Good to know about the larger capacity stations. Often I find room is a premium where they are needed.

2 reasons for only..... six
1. you dont need more, it only fills the system and you see a lot of them waiting but not working
2. There are large FLT stations incomming, they will have 8

Only 6 with such a big footprint...
willemdhj  [author] 6 Mar, 2023 @ 8:53am 
Yes it can hold up to 6 FLT's, description will follow :)

Thanks for creating and sharing this FLT garage. I take it that it can hold up to 6 FLT's...?

It should indeed compliment your road cargo station :)
