Transfer Manager CE v3.1.26

Modifies the vanilla Transfer Manager to prefer closer transfers. ie Garbage trucks will go to nearby buildings first to collect garbage rather than travelling all the way across the city to get the garbage at some distant building.

Transfer reasons are the underlying mechanic for how a Cities Skylines city functions. If for example a building has a sick person in it, that building will place a "TransferReason.Sick" request out to the transfer manager to ask for an ambulance to come and collect the sick person. If a bakery needs some flour to make bread it will place a "TransferReason.Flour" request to the transfer manager. When it finishes making the bread it will add a "TransferReason.Goods" offer to the transfer manager so the bread can be transported to a shop etc….

The transfer manager is the system in Cities Skylines that collects all these transfer reason "requests / offers" from all the buildings and matches them together so that each buildings needs can be satisfied. For example a sick request is matched with an ambulance offer etc…

The vanilla Transfer Manager is not very good at matching these transfer reasons together, which can result in some unexpected or annoying behavior within your city. This transfer manager is intended to improve these matches to make your city feel more natural and realistic.

You can see each buildings transfer needs in the "Offers" section of the "Transfers" tab of the building panel and any matches made by the transfer manager are listed in the "Matches" section.

I have written a brief overview of the main features and how to use them here.
There is also a brief explanation of the Transfers tab.

The original idea for this mod was by pcfantasy and his More Effective Transfer Manager

Unfortunately he stopped working on it so another developer Cambrium started a new version, More Effective Transfer Manager (continued). Sadly after doing lots of great things with the mod he decided to introduce some malicious code into the mod and was booted off the workshop along with his mod. Discussion

This left lots of subscribers in the lurch as they could no longer use what had become quite a nice mod. I was asked if I would be willing to reboot this mod so that people could continue to play the game with its features. This is the result.

• More Effective Transfer Manager
• Transfer Controller
• Transfer Manager CE [TEST]
• Configure Outside Connections’ Limits – This mod now allows changing outside connection capacity limits so both mods will be trying to change the same values
• Call Again – Transfer Manager CE does all that Call Again does and lots more and they will just get in each others way.
• District Dispatch – Warning: This mod works by forcing the vehicle to ignore the transfer managers requests when not within the appropriate district. This can easily lead to a continuous request / ignore loop that results in a city issue never being responded to as the transfer manager gets no feedback that the path is invalid.
• Taxi Stand Fix – This mod has basically extracted TMCE code out as a separate mod. It will break Transfer Manager CE as it is doing almost exactly the same thing with the same code except worse as it cant control the Transfer Manager instructions properly.

Note: While Advanced Outside Connection is currently listed as compatible with this mod, we have found that the mod tends to produce double offers for outside connections when altering the ratio values that may cause issues with your game such as overwhelmed outside connections.
