Description:

Locates invisible problems with your transport system and helps fix them.

Press Ctrl+Zero(configurable in mod options) in-game to display the mod panel.

Fix broken nodes

The broken node bug[github.com] causes vehicles to despawn when they reach a certain segment of road or rail.

  • Click Run detector to scan the city
  • It will find one problem at a time and highlight it on the map
  • Either bulldoze it or move it slightly to repair
  • Repeat the process until no problems found

Fix ghost nodes

Ghost nodes can cause "Array Index" errors and problems with pathfinding.

  • Click Remove Ghost Nodes to find and remove any ghost nodes

Fix transport routes and stops

Broken transport routes can prevent vehicles from spawning or prevent cims from reaching their destinations.

  • Click Detect disconnected PT stops to scan the city
  • Problems are listed one at a time; click Find next to see each one
  • Click Remove to delete a broken line or stop

Find too short segments

May cause simulation slowdown or other weird vehicle simulation issues (like stop for no reason)

  • Click Detect too short segments to scan the city
  • Once scan finished, results show number potentially too short segments; click Find next to see each one
  • Use MoveIt to stretch it a bit. You can ignore cul-de-sac segments(I haven’t found reliable way to skip them automatically)
  • Repeat scan if necessary

Find disconnected buildings(experimental)

Disconnected buildings may cause 0/1/0/1 service vehicle usage problem (Hearse/Garbage trucks etc.)
Use Check Road Access for Growables before scanning to find disconnected building of all types

  • Click Scan for disconnected buildings to scan the city
  • Once scan finished, results show number of disonnected buildings; click Find next to see each one
  • Use MoveIt mod to move building closer to the road or just remove
  • Repeat scan if necessary
