Mail Trucks with high capacities!
First and foremost, special thanks to the following for the tools/help along the way.
2TallTyler - for the python scripts that helped me avoid having to to touch makefiles.
Timberwolf - for the GoRender workflow and Youtube guides to use it.
longtomjr - helping with a query when I got stuck.
Firrel - for the awesome Renewed Village Growth script.
Whoever made the NML Tutorial - excellent guide for starting out with NML.
seΛn | spnda - for the NML syntax for VSC
- Choose between 1x and 2x zoom sprites
- Choose your Mail capacity level - normal, high or in between. High is what it was essentially made for, but take your pick
- MagicaVoxel
- GoRender
- GIMP
- Visual Studio Code, with NML plug-in
To be honest, sometimes Mail can be a bit of a chore since you care less about it than Passengers and Freight.
So why not just ignore it?
Some town growth scripts require Mail to be transported to satisfy goals, otherwise the town won't grow. So, like it or not, Mail needs dealt with.
So why would you use these trucks?
High level capacities are not meant to be 'realistic' or 'balanced'. They are simply meant to make Mail much easier by;
- Reducing the number of vehicles dedicated to Mail
- Reducing the time needed to micro-manage Mail
