WALL-TO-WALL INDUSTRY
E-Z Polish Factory by jestarr
1 - INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
This is the 19th upload in a second series of IRM W2W lots based on BAT models made by other artists, this time manufacturing industry. For this upload, E-Z Polish Factory by jestarr, we return to regular single-building lots. The specialty this time is that the lot is visually transit-enabled. This means that it will connect to the road in front (see screenshot No.4) and you will see cars enter and leave the lot, but it doesn't have any actual transit switch function. Since the building is pretty tall, it probably looks best in combination with mid-rise apartment blocks such as the ones by NYBT's Aaron Graham, some creations by marcszar and TagOne, and the old (but still very good!) gmax BATs by Don Miguel - all of which I can only recommend to anyone who's into that style, by the way.
The lots will provide 360 I-M jobs. Here's the lot breakdown:
- 5x4 straight, stage 2 (2 versions with alley on left/right side)
In keeping with the other IRM stuff, the job numbers are intended to be in line with Maxis stuff if you use Toroca's Industrial Jobs Quadrupler. Since you cannot zone large coherent areas with W2W industrial and the lots can be complemented with fillers, the resulting job density will, in fact, be not that excessive. For the same reason, growth stages for IRM W2W are generally kept low.
2 - USE
If you extract this archive to your root plugins folder, it should create a folder IRM\IRM W2W Expansion\[NAME OF BAT], where [NAME OF BAT] represents the name of this download item. Within that folder, you will find all the game-relevant files and a sub-folder containing the HTML readme and some screenshot(s).
If you no longer wish to use this download, proceed as follows:
- Bulldoze all lots pertaining to this download
- Save all the cities and exit the game when you're done bulldozing
- Remove the associated files from your plugins folder
Hint: Just to be sure, I recommend moving the undesired files somewhere else and doing some checks before you delete them permanently. This way, if it turns out you forgot to bulldoze something, you can add it back in temporarily until you're done.
3 - DEPENDENCIES
IRM W2W Base Pack
Since this is an extension to the IRM, all the dependencies of the original IRM base pack still apply.
In addition to this, you'll need the original upload of the BAT to see the building::
The E-Z Polish Factory (v1.0). It doesn't only contain the train cars etc. you can see in the screenshot, but also all the required building models.
If you want to have the option of blocking the enclosed lots from growing temporarily, for example when you want to go back to regular (i.e., non-W2W) IRM industry for a while, you can use the IRM W2W Expansion Blocker v 1.0 (or higher) from January 23, 2015 (or later).
