About This File

Hey all, this is my first mod, please help me by posting comments, criticisms, and IT'D BE COOL IFs. Also, let me know if something isn't working.
 
What Does Chain Plopper Do?
 
You know how easy it is to plop tons of bus stops in a very short period of time? I made many other things work this way! Now it's super easy to add the max number of buses, trade depot lots, and many other things very quickly! (CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR A GIF DEMO)
 
Example:
Bus Depots are great, but if you're building a brand new one in a city bursting at the seams with cash, it's very tiresome to click the bus garage, then plop it, then go back and click the same icon for another garage, then plop that one, then go back to the menu... ad infinitum.... To quote America's favorite female comic: ACK!
 
My God, Surely You are Some Coding Master!
 

Actually, most of the credit should go to Oppie (and all those working tirelessly on the SimCityPak tool! But ProcsKalone did a whole lot to help me out too, In fact, he pretty much told me how to do it, all I did was do it. So i just want to give a shout out to him.

 

<generic shout/>

 

Furthermore, I have a couple known issues right now:

  • Ambulances for Medical Clinic won't chain.
  • Ground Floor Jail Cells for Police Station won't chain either.
  • I have no effing clue if it's compatible with anything else. None.

If you find anything please let me know. Also, anyone is free to take this file and change it as they like, just please give me credit if you do so :-D

 

You fool! Shut up and Tell Me how to Install Your Brilliant Mod!

 

Simply download the attached file, and unzip "Chain Plopper.package" into you SimCityData Folder. There, you're good to go!

 

Enjoy all,

Chucksef

I was very confused about this mod. I had to read the description twice before I realised the title wasn't Plain Chopper

Lol, I'm a big fan of that. Ha- maybe I'll work on a custom texture for the helicopter next.

The pre-6.0 version is still working for me... Maybe it's NOT working with a few more types of plopables, but I'm not entirely sure.  One thing that it doesn't work for are things like the Oil Drills, Coal Mine Chutes, etc.

 

This was the best thing since sliced bread for me.  12 Trade Port Delivery Truck Garages in 3 seconds? Yes, Please!

After update 7, the counts of the things you can chain plop get all messed up.  For example, if you can attach 4 buses to a terminal, you can only plop 2 before it becomes grayed out.

Would be great if you could extend this to other ploppables .. Maglev Stations would be top of my list !!

Will update later with video but, for some buildings, if you use this to plop more modules on TOP of a building than allowed, the building will SINK into the ground and cause the space to be unusable, as it won't allow you to bulldoze the building or the "service road" built into it (i.e.try plopping the police precinct and 5 or more jail cells (top floor)  on top of the building).

 

It will infect a saved game with this!

 

I'm sure that I was using 1.1 where Skyestorme took over but I'll check again; skyestorme, pls test this with me and try to reproduce what I just said.

Recently started playing SimCity again, and this is one of the few mods I have installed.  One thing I've noticed, not sure what it's caused by, but it makes the airport unusable.  Well, not unusable, but un-addonable. Meaning I cannot plop a freight terminal or passenger terminal at all when I'm using this mod.  I'm only assuming it's this mod, as this mod is really the only one I have installed that changes anything in my game.  Other mods I have installed are the ones that show how many workers in a building and whatnot, and one other one, I think the extended budget one.  So, nothing major, so I assume it's this one causing the issues with the airport.  I am uninstalling and will try it again later, see if it's any better without it installed.
