  HM... Which version of these lots are you using? Most of the most common industrial queries (the generic ones RLS and the other generic SG IDs: c35ca521-523, I think, or c35cc501-503 - I don't recall exactly the IDs now but something like these) are in the BSC Essentials v2026a. There are a few specific ones which now might be in the respective updated SG Models pack where the model and prop file is stored (latest version of BSC Common Dependencies). I'm some cases due to unnecessary redundancy the original Query IDs were replaced by the generic RLS industrial or other common SG Industrial query in the building exemplar. These duplicate UIs were not kept anywhere officially. The issues was that these were running on different IDs but the UI itself was completely the same as the generic or an other existing one. So one was only kept. Check the building exemplar of the lot (it's in the rehosted lot collections on Evermore) and check if the Query ID is in the BSC Essentials v2026a. Alternatively check the SG Models IM vol01 and Vol02 DATs in the most recent BSC Common Dependencies pack, but I think these UIs should be in the BSC Essentials. If you are using older versions of these lots (and the ID swaps were applied as explained above), either update the lot collection to the most recent one or manually edit the query ID in your lot to a working one query. I am not back from vacation until Saturday, but if you didn't find a solution by that time I can look into it.

  There are/were talks about an all-in-one pack for all oppie's canals, but it would also be great if they receive proper dedicated submenus before an official release. Since these take time until that they are good in that thread. However if you want to update them, properly bundle them/organize them into one pack (base set and the expansions) and give them dedicated submenus etc... then go for it, and then a proper STEX entry can be maid.

  Exactly! You've confirmed what I understood from some research on the subject (Claude Anthropic — a helpful and courteous LLM — also shed a lot of light on this conclusion, with plenty of references to consult). Furthermore, one indicator caught my attention: simcity_1 contains 444 .cur files identified by the "group" (TGI) based on their depth. And... as you say, we can see the "remnants" of previous SCs. Group 08 (8bite) still contains 1b cursors! I've noticed redundancies and dual uses, too! As well as the airport and seaport "zone" cursors!
  In short, if I understand correctly, there's no need to do more than the .cur 8bits!
  Now I just need to check if I have to redo all 111 or just what seems to be used!?

  Anyone know where my SimGoober query went? Gone like smoke in the wind. I can't find it. Not for ploppable warehouses or growable ones. I wonder if the rest of the RLS queries work also?

  Hey, I wonder if we can restore the rest of oppie canal sets here as formal STEX content? I recall here we have basic components here: But there are also: Narrow set, diagonal set, designer bridge, gate (also hosted here too) It used to host in But since it is outside of STEX recovery job, I think it is best for us to host it formally.
