Title: Seaports Revealed: Unofficial Guide to the BSC Functional Seaports

Part 1 - Introduction

Hello all, and welcome to my guide to the BSC Functional Seaports, v3.1 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1663).  Why do we need a guide, you ask?  We've gotten along just fine for almost two years with just the Readme, the Support Thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4969.0), and the Development Thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4702.0), haven't we?

Well, yes and no.  All three of those are excellent resources, and if you haven't read the Readme and the Support Thread yet, I strongly suggest you go do that.  There is important information in the Readme that I will not be repeating here (i.e. lot size, cost, capacity, etc.).  However, even after reading every scrap of information out there about the BSC Functional Seaports, I still found myself confused and staring down a long list of new seaports and an even longer list of dependencies.  What did they look like?  Which dependencies went with which seaports?  What if I want one that matches the waterfront pieces I'm already using?  These are just some of the many questions I found myself asking, and the ones I hope to answer here.

So, I went the route of simply installing everything, and seeing what it was all about.  Besides, it would give me the opportunity to test each of the seaports and document it for my own future use.  And, if I was going to all this work anyway, I might as well present my results to the world so they can be helpful to other confused players who are overwhelmed at the prospect of starting to use the BSC Functional Seaports.

Over the next few weeks, I will be presenting the results of my research here.  At the moment, this will not include any of the seaports on canals, since I don't currently use canals, nor will it include any custom or third-party seaports, since I don't have those either.

This guide is primarily focused on aesthetics, dependencies, and issues related to gameplay.  For technical issues or those related to development of the BSC Functional Seaports, I direct you to the Readme, Support, and Development threads listed above, or the people behind the seaports themselves.  On that note, I was not involved in the creation of the Functional Seaports project or any of the individual seaports contained therein, and I am not implying any credit for that work.  I am merely cataloguing the work of others.  (Pictures used in this guide, however, are my work  ;) )

Speaking of the people behind the seaports, a huge thank you is due to the entire Seaport Development Project group and the creators and designers of the individual seaports for their tremendous work in advancing the world of SC4 seaports.

As always, feedback is welcome, and I hope you will find this guide useful.  Every effort has been made to ensure the guide is as accurate as possible, so if you spot any errors, please let me know so they can be fixed.   :)

Part 2 - General Concerns

This is going to be from the point of view of someone coming into the BSC Functional Seaports at version 3.1 completely unfamiliar with previous developments in the project, because that's where I started.

There are a few general concerns that apply to all of the seaports and that you should be aware of before starting.  Many of these are covered in depth elsewhere and are simply repeated here for convenience.


There is one more general note, which is about seaport placement.  The only seaports that are designed to be plopped across both land and water are the Maxis Seaport and the Mr. Truesage Local Seaport.  Some of the others can be plopped across land and water, but it will look weird and possibly mess up your terrain (see pictures below).  Other seaports can only be plopped entirely on land.  How each seaport is meant to be plopped will be mentioned in that seaport's section.

For those seaports that allow you to place them over land and water, the recommended seaport placement is entirely on land (BLS Oil Port shown):

If you place these seaports over both land and water you get the following.  Note the terrain alteration in the second picture, and the highlighted areas in the 3rd and 4th pictures where you can see the seaport floating in the air above the water:

Part 3 - Notes Regarding Dependencies

Dependency lists for each seaport are provided in that seaport's individual section of the guide.  I have provided the latest name/links for each dependency on the list.  However, there are some notes that will apply to all of the seaports.

Thanks for this "unofficial" guide.  It is definitely going to help many people out(it has already helped me with the land/water issues I been having and why I basically gave up using seaports), and it may get some seaport love going as I always seemed to hate the default maxis seaport

Part 4 - Maxis Seaport - 3 Stages

This is the first seaport in the list, and the one you are probably most familiar with, since it is the only one that comes with the game.  This seaport has been altered to work as part of the BSC Functional Seaports, and now includes three stages, automatic upgrades, and all the rest.  If you are used to using it and really want to keep using it after you see the rest of the seaports, you can, but I would strongly recommend against using this seaport.  There are several graphic glitches with this seaport, which get worse whenever it upgrades.  These include, but are not limited to: floating cargo, cranes in the water, altering the terrain (even more than the in-game version does), locating itself below sea level, disappearing foundations, etc.  Like the in-game version, the boat does move around, and will wander around your city.  This seaport is required to be placed overlapping land and water, same as the in-game version.  The seaport has nightlighting, and provides jobs.

Stage 1:

The Maxis Seaport requires no dependencies beyond the game itself and the BSC Functional Seaports v3.1 installation.

Part 5 - Mr. Truesage Local Seaport - 3 Stages

The Mr. Truesage Local Seaport has three stages, and is a relotting of the Maxis Seaport, and consequently largely looks and behaves the same.  It is a legacy seaport that predates the BSC Functional Seaports, and was the first to exhibit upgrading behavior.  Like the Maxis Seaport, the boat that comes with this will move around.  This seaport must be placed overlapping land and water (note that it is oriented differently than the Maxis Seaport).  When initially plopped, the seaport is just a blank lot:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm503%2Fwhatphots%2FSeaportsRevealed%2F02-01-stage1plop.jpg&hash=72c0aa897de3e2281cca182586e0d25cc339a184)

At this stage, it will not show up as a seaport in the regional transportation view.  If you run the game, the seaport will then grow into its Stage 1, after which it shows up as a seaport in the region view.  This seaport has nightlighting, and provides jobs.  Once the seaport has grown, it is street-enabled in one location.  Much like the Maxis Seaport, this seaport will generally alter your terrain, and contains a number of graphical glitches, including overlapping props.  If you want to have ships moving around your city, this is the better option to use than the Maxis Seaport.

Part 6 - BLS Rural Port - 8 Stages

The BLS Rural port has eight stages, and is one that can only be plopped entirely on land.  The docks and boats then overhang into the water.  This is typical to many of the seaports in this set, in that they are land-only plops, but use overhanging props to give the appearance of also being in the water.  This seaport is street enabled at one location, and provides jobs.  It is one of the three rural ports provided in the BSC Functional Seaports.  There is nightlighting, but until Stage 6 it is only on the boats.  Stages 6, 7 and 8 have nightlighting on the building.

Wow.  This is very useful information.  The main reason I don't use any of the custom seaports is because of the dependencies.  Even though I thought I had them all, I kept getting brown boxes (I just lot my own now).  I think you're doing a great job here.   :thumbsup:

(karma-point anyone?)

Agree on the K-point, I also have to add that its nice that whatevermind is also including links to the seaports at the end of every section as well, which will make it easier to get everything needed.

Part 7 - BLS Rural Port cnut - 8 Stages

The BLS Rural Port cnut has eight stages, and can only be plopped entirely on land.  Like the seaport above, it then overhangs into the water.  This seaport provides jobs, and has nightlighting.  It is one of the three rural seaports included in the BSC Functional Seaports.

Part 8 - BLS Newman Inc Rural Port – 3 Stages

The BLS Newman Inc Rural Port has three stages, and can only be plopped entirely on land.  Its dock then overhangs into the water.  This seaport is one of the three rural seaports included in the BSC Functional Seaports.  It provides jobs, but does not have nightlighting.  One unusual feature about this seaport is that it includes growable, seasonal trees, which means that the lot plops (and upgrades) without some of its trees, and they then grow and change with the seasons throughout the life of that stage.  Because the trees are part of the lot, they have to start growing from scratch every time the seaport upgrades.

Stage 1 (before trees grow):

Part 10 - BRT Seaport – 8 Stages

The BRT Seaport has eight stages, and should be plopped entirely on land, see the note on seaport placement at the end of the post here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=14336.msg412926#msg412926).  The BRT Seaport uses the BRT WIMPS (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=284) waterfront (this is not a dependency, just linked for reference).  Which tiles from this set will work best at the side of the seaport varies by stage, initially the seaport does not take up the entire width of the lot, but eventually finishes in a position to use 4-tile deep waterfront pieces as accessories at the sides.  While this seaport includes roads and rail at later stages, these are purely eye-candy and cannot be connected to your transit network.  This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.

Part 11 - BLS Oil Port – 8 Stages

The BLS Oil Port has eight stages, and should be plopped entirely on land, see the note on seaport placement at the end of the post here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=14336.msg412926#msg412926).  It is road enabled at two locations, and features the jeronij Seawalls, which can be found here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=114) (this is not a dependency, just linked for reference).  This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.  There is a minor graphic error at Stage 7, with the LNG tanker.  Like the BRT Seaport, this seaport does not start out occupying the full width of its lot, but eventually grows to that point.

Part 12 - Newman Inc Grain Port (aka cnut Grain) – 8 Stages

The Newman Inc Grain Port has eight stages, and can only be plopped on land.  The seaport is road enabled at one location from the beginning, two locations as of Stage 6, and three locations as of Stage 7.  The dirt road present at Stages 1 through 6 is eye-candy only and cannot be connected to your road network.  Between Stages 1 and 2, the road connection shifts one tile to the left (shown below at Stage 2, with the old location visible by the road crossing the avenue):

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm503%2Fwhatphots%2FSeaportsRevealed%2F09-40-roadoffset1-2.jpg&hash=1dfcd2e73cf4407dc8241eb93ca6a02f29682613)

There is rail across the seaport at all stages, and it is connectable at both ends of the lot, however the seaport does not accept freight trains and trains cannot travel through the lot.  If the rail crosses a road immediately adjacent to the seaport, the connection will break at every upgrade, and will have to be dragged back across the road into the seaport.  If there is no road there, the rail will automatically reconnect after the upgrade (similar to how road connections function with the seaports).  This rail-breaking behavior is typical of all seaports that have connectable railroads, whether or not the rail is functional.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm503%2Fwhatphots%2FSeaportsRevealed%2F09-41-construction.jpg&hash=cffc6865d714ca5c7362a052f446d14b5fb4742d)

The Newman Inc Grain Port uses the BRT WIMPS (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=284) waterfront (this is not a dependency, just linked for reference).  Like some of the other seaports, it does not initially use the full width of the lot, but eventually grows into the full width.  This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.

There is also a texture error that occurs when the seaport dilapidates after Stage 8, as you can see at the railroad in the picture below:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm503%2Fwhatphots%2FSeaportsRevealed%2F09-60-textureerroratabandon.jpg&hash=291e6035087fdf39697f47ada036915230618099)

This is probably a good place to point out that all of the seaports in the BSC Functional Seaports will dilapidate after their highest stage if they cannot keep up with demand.  In general, they will then look like abandoned buildings and otherwise keep functioning at the same level as their highest stage.  The best thing is simply to make sure you have enough seaports to keep up with your freight demand.  The seaports will return to their highest stage appearance after the demand has been reduced back to within capacity (by building new seaports, neighbor connections, etc.).

Part 13 - BLS City Centre Port – 8 Stages

The BLS City Centre Port has eight stages and should be plopped entirely on land, see the note on seaport placement at the end of the post here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=14336.msg412926#msg412926).  The seaport has several roads as part of the lot, but they are eye-candy only and cannot be connected to your road network.  The BLS City Centre Port uses the jeronij Seawalls (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=114) (this is not a dependency, just linked for reference).  This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.

Part 14 - SNM Seaport – 8 Stages

The SNM Seaport has eight stages and should be plopped entirely on land, see the note on seaport placement at the end of the post here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=14336.msg412926#msg412926).  The seaport uses the SNM Navy Base Set (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=322) along its waterfront (this is not a dependency and is only linked for reference), which is similar to the BRT WIMPS waterfront – either one should work as an accessory to the seaport, though you might notice differences.  There is a graphics glitch at Stage 6, where some dock on the right side of the lot is out of place.  Also, be warned that this seaport is LOUD, whenever you plop or query the lot, prepare for a loud horn blast.  This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.

Part 15 - SDP Warehouse Port – 6 Stages

The SDP Warehouse Port has six stages, and should be plopped entirely on land, see the note on seaport placement at the end of the post here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=14336.msg412926#msg412926).  This seaport uses the BRT WIMPS (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=284) waterfront (this is not a dependency, just linked for reference), and the 4-tile deep lots in that set will match the fence locations on this lot.  This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.

Part 16 - BLS Container Port – 8 Stages

The BLS Container Port has eight stages, and can only be plopped on land.  It is the only one of the BSC Functional Seaports to use the BLS Industrial Waterfront BSC (Marrast waterfront) (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1773) (this is not a dependency, and is only linked for reference).  The 3-tile deep lots from that set will fit along the sides of this seaport and match the fence and rail locations.  This seaport has a rail line running across the lot which can be connected to your rail network, but cannot carry rail traffic or accept freight trains.  The rail links break whenever the lot upgrades if they cross a road immediately adjacent to the lot (as described in the post above, here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=14336.msg413792#msg413792)).  This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.

Part 17 - Cargo Handling Facility – 8 Stages

The Cargo Handling Facility has eight stages, and is the first of three inland "seaports", which are lots that have seaport properties (such as moving freight), but are not intended to be located on the waterfront (they don't have docks or boats).  Additionally, all three of the land-based seaports are located in the Airports menu in your game.  This lot is street enabled at three locations, and rail enabled at two locations.  Like the other rail enabled seaports, the connections will break when the lot upgrades if they cross a road immediately adjacent to the lot (shown here just after upgrading):

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm503%2Fwhatphots%2FSeaportsRevealed%2F14-45-railbreak.jpg&hash=cbb31b11c0299a40c7eff80ed732cac65fe946f2)

This is one of only two lots with rails that actually accept freight trains.  In order for this to work, the rail must cross a road adjacent to entering the lot (and subsequently breaks on upgrades and needs rebuilding every time).  This is explained in greater depth in the Readme.  Passenger trains cannot pass through this lot.

The functionality behind being able to accept freight trains is that the seaport converts the freight trains to freight trucks as the trains cross the road adjacent to the seaport.  An interesting side effect to this behavior is that the freight trucks are then free to leave the lot and travel elsewhere.  In my testing, I noticed that if another seaport is across the street from where freight trains enter this lot, the freight trains will sometimes go to the Cargo Handling Facility, get converted to trucks, and then cross the street to the other lot:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm503%2Fwhatphots%2FSeaportsRevealed%2F14-57e-crosstraffic.jpg&hash=19ea52fca8014e514b96eedaef2365c0e9041ed0)

While the above picture shows two Cargo Handling Facilities, this appears to work with a Cargo Handling Facility and any other seaport.  This only appears to work if there is another seaport or a neighbor connection immediately across the street.  Otherwise, the Cargo Handling Facility would still be the closest freight destination and the trucks would have no reason to go elsewhere.  While this effect can allow freight trains to "reach" seaports that don't accept rail freight on their own, I advise against relying on this behavior as the only way to get freight to other seaports, as it seems to work intermittently and stop working if the Cargo Handling Facility dilapidates after Stage 8, which would leave the other seaport inaccessible to freight.  Note that even though this seaport converts freight trains to freight trucks from a functional standpoint, all you see in the game is freight trains traveling the rails across this lot – there is no visual counterpart to the train-to-truck conversion:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm503%2Fwhatphots%2FSeaportsRevealed%2F14-40-trainuse.jpg&hash=af64780f75fbe40e293bcf91cb0e84f3770f97ce)

This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.  This seaport also randomly selects which buildings get built at each stage, so for example, while the same location at the same stage might always have a large warehouse, it may not always be the same warehouse, so your results may vary from the pictures below.

The BLS Airport Cargo Handling Centre has six stages, and is another one of the inland seaports, which means that it will be located in your Airports menu.  Plop this seaport and you will quickly see why it is considered an airport, since it is the only one of the BSC Functional Seaports to have airplanes.  While you don't have to locate this seaport anywhere near an airport, it will look a bit out of place if you don't, as you can see from the pictures below.  This seaport provides jobs, and has nightlighting.

Part 19 - Package Loading Center – 1 Stage

The Package Loading Center has only one stage, and is the third of the inland seaports.  Like the other inland seaports, this one is located in your Airports menu.  Like the Mr. Truesage Local Seaport, this is a legacy port that was included in the BSC Functional Seaports since it was already in widespread usage.  This seaport is street enabled at two locations, near the "front" gates, and is rail enabled at either end of the rail line that crosses the seaport.

This is one of only two seaports that can accept freight trains; however, it does so far less reliably than the Cargo Handling Facility.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1129.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm503%2Fwhatphots%2FSeaportsRevealed%2F16-49-trainuse.jpg&hash=e4191d8d3e5aa3bde61d58d0aecdef94eab8c8ca)

Unlike the Cargo Handling Facility, the Package Loading Center does not require that the rails cross roads immediately adjacent to the seaport to accept freight trains.  Because it does not upgrade, rebuilding rail connections is not an issue.  It does convert freight trains to freight trucks, but appears to do this on the lot itself.  Because it converts the trains into trucks, the trucks are free to leave the seaport and cross the street into another seaport, same as with the Cargo Handling Facility.

I have not yet seen it send trucks across the street into a neighbor connection, but it should be possible.  The one problem with using this seaport for freight trains is that it does not always accept freight trains.  After some extensive testing, the ideal condition for getting the Package Loading Center to accept freight trains is to build it before you start playing the city, and it must have rail connections in place at this time.  Then, as the city grows, factories along the rail lines (or using freight stations) will send freight trains to this seaport.  Once it starts accepting freight trains it should continue to accept them for the duration of the game, even after dilapidating.  However, if you build a Package Loading Center in an already existing city, it will generally not accept freight trains, even if you cut the seaport off from road access and it's the only way for freight to leave the city – instead your industry will just stagnate and complain about clogged warehouses.  This seaport provides jobs and has nightlighting.

AC Airport Textures.dat (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1664)

AC Airport Textures.dat is not an individually downloadable file, and is only available with installation of the AC Functional Airports.  However, after installing the Functional Airports, you can delete everything but this file if you want.  This dependency is required only for a single grass texture, and I suspect it is probably available elsewhere; however it exists on my computer only as part of this file.

Critical Note: The AC Functional Airports installs some files that overlap with the BSC Functional Seaports.  This includes the files:


You will have to delete both of these files after installing AC Functional Airports or risk crashing your game. Additionally, the installer will place several other enablers into the folder:  ..\Plugins\X-Ports\Airports, as well as the file AC Functional Airports, Version 2.1.dat, all of which should be deleted to prevent the Functional Airports from showing up in your game (the props, textures, and sounds files can stay).  If you already have the AC Functional Airports, or wish to keep them (and I recommend you do, it does for Airports what the BSC Functional Seaports does for seaports), then you simply need to delete the two files highlighted in bold above, and consult the AC Functional Airports readme and support threads to get started using that mod.

Part 20 - Conclusion

*whew*

That concludes the guide for now.  Thank you for reading, and I hope you have found it useful, and that it has helped you get the most out of the BSC Functional Seaports.  If you notice any errors or omissions in this guide, or have suggestions for improvements, please let me know.  As I mentioned at the beginning, this guide does not cover the five canal-based seaports included in the BSC Functional Seaports.  If I start using canals in my games, I may go back and add them to this guide, but there are no plans to do that in the foreseeable future.  Once again I advise you to read the BSC Functional Seaports Readme, as well as consult the Support (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4969.0) and Development (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4702.0) threads for the wealth of information they contain.  And of course, you can always ask questions at those threads or here.

Happy seaport building!  ;D

Much, much appreciated Whatevermind. This is a great introduction to those ports. I never knew it was possible in the first place: upgradeable lots. You think you've seen it all until you people come up with something new.

Hi, this is a fantastic guide.  &apls

But!
Just one question about the lots: who made the decision that the lots are to be placed in such a way that we can see the landscape rock texture under the construction of the quays? That is really really ugly! There should be some seawall prop or texture to hide this, or the lots should be overhanging so that the landscape disappears. Booh!

The cliff tile isn't used though, it would be simple enough to plop a texture there.  (Not saying that is the reason)

Exactly! A solution is simple.

Or an overhanging seawall prop isn't that hard to find.

My guess is because those ports were plopped on a too high terrain. By default if you plop the Maxis port, it flats the terrain very low, almost sea level. I believe the Terraformer by Wounagaine has an option for terraplan ports at the proper height. If that is used and then plop these lots, it will show only the quays, hiding the texture of the cliffs. ;)

Hehe, oh, you noticed the ugly cliffs?  ;D  I did purposely take these pics without any terrain plugins.  I also realized too late that my testing area was too high out of water to properly show many of the seawalls, but I wasn't going back to fix it.  The marrast and jeronij seawalls both work on gentler/higher slopes, as you can see.  The only ones that really stand out are the BLS/SNM seawalls, which require an insanely steep slope to hide the cliff.  Of course, the closer to the water you plop them, the less steep your slope would have to be to hide the cliff.  As for the lots themselves - that's mostly Barby's handiwork from my understanding.

@Muko:
Adding seaports should have the opposite effect.  In fact I even tested a few cities where I maxed out the industry, then placed seaports to test that they actually did provide cap relief (they do), and sure enough my industry would grow again.  I also generally tested them with CAM running.  Some suggestions:

I have never had that issue happen to me any time I have ever plopped a port at all.  In fact, I have found that whenever I plop seaports, my demand for Industrial skyrockets and my ports can never keep up with the demand.  I once had an all Industrial city with the BLS City Ports lining BOTH sides of a river running through the city and I had seaports the entire length of the river from beginning to end and they were all maxed out with only 1/2 the large city tile even developed.

Well, allright.
It's quite some time ago that I actually played the game, but I already had the feeling that the port lots were placed too high.
Terraformer has indeed an option for harbour height terraforming. I used it very happily when I was building my large seaport areas.

Ok, so if I use the correct height I won't see the cliffs? Then it's all ok with me. Making the ater opaque will hide the cliff completely.

Thanks.

This probably belongs in another thread.  I've had similar troubles at times, just seems to be a bug in the game.  I don't know your industrial population, but if it's near 70,000 then this is when you will need some type of neighbor connection (via road, rail, or seaport).  The 70,000 cap is relieved by that connection, but not like other growth types, the relief comes form the exports (traffic through such connections).  The bug would be that they don't see the seaport, so you don't get the relief even though you should.  Sometimes the demolish/re-plop does work.

Neighbor cities don't use your seaport.  Once freight reaches an export connection, it's function is done, there are no "goods" in SC4.

QuoteThe file Railyard Texture Mega-Pack Vol 1.dat is version 1.01 of that file, not version 1.02.
I have at least one other mod that needs 1.02, so I installed both, with 1.01 put in load-order after 1.02 just in case. Datanode does not show any overrides between them (though it shows hundreds of FSH overrides within each -- what's up with that?).
BTW, 1.01 is difficult to find. Had to go to the STEX to find Railyard Textures Vol1 (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/15976-rail-yard-and-spur-textures-mega-pack-1/).

These are just textures, which means a load of overrides are either:


To my knowledge, the second pack was supposed to replace the first, but something didn't go right. Just DATPack the two together and then you'll be rid of any unnecessary duplication. Note that v1.02 should be loading after v1.01, since it's reasonable to assume that any changes to existing textures would be improvements/fixes. So you might want to ensure the order is correct before DATPacking them. Also it's worth pointing out, if you use RRW, Eggman121's overrides further override some (not all) of these textures. So if you really like a clean plugins folder, you want want to add those into the equation too.

Either way, being textures, it's very improbable this would have any bearing on your other seaport problems, just in case you thought otherwise.
