Probably should have condensed the last 5 or 6 updates into one big update.

Yeah that's looking more like the real thing now.  I'm very familiar with the port structures as our port here on the west coast includes container terminals, heavy materials, oil, grain, lumber.   Your salt and copper mines were correct to how materials actually appear, bright and saturated.   (Most people aren't used to seeing gigantic piles  of elemental materials shining under the sun so it looks incorrect to them).

I like the selection of freight ships you collected, they look accurate to scale.    4 fusion reactors should be enough to operate all those cranes .

      

lol,needed effect you know.You think maybe i should take 1 down on each side or what,and another thing,is  the lots good enough for uploading you think?

The only thing I see that conflicts is in the first picture, there doesn't seem to be enough room to position the ships inside the dock area.  In these ports there are a lot of tugboats that do the work of moving the ships around.  I'll look around for some tugboat props.  

Yeah the lots look good to go, but I'd suggest packaging stuff in a zip folder and writing a bit more of an introduction to the files before listing all the dependencies.  Uploading to the STEX can be a bit like 'show business'  The audience expects certain standards of presentation.   As you seem to be interested in developing a complete port system its worth the effort.   I'm slowly getting inspired myself as I worked on a freight container 'trans-load' dock.

I understand what your saying about the tug boats,they do all the work in any harbour.Another thing, do you  by any chance have team speak? I play world of tanks also,so i have team speak.

I used to play shooter games on PS3 with all the com. stuff, but not anymore.    

I did find a tugboat prop that can be plopped as a lot, but its installed with an automated installer so I can't verify the security of the file except WMP has been reliable in my experience.    

Speaking of war games, the file is appropriately called 'SCT Warrior TugBoat by TitanicBuff' from the workingman productions  site.   I'm sure I've installed and used this before, it looks familiar.

lol,thank you i will go visit.Is it a prop that i can use in the lot editor?

I installed it, in the game it shows up in the Parks menu.  The file that is installed is SBT_TBM-Tug Boat.dat.  The lot and prop should show up in the Lot Editor.

Thanks,i downloaded it and a lot of other stuff also ,now i have to start a new region.some of my cities does not want to load,some does.No major problem,maybe the train mod and slope mod,whatever.

Docks on the left side indeed look a litle bt tide ! River is very wider maybe some blocks wider building out the harbour wood make it more realistic; more harbour space for boats and cargo and container humps, well done !
