Large Ferry construction problem

#1

Post by Wincass71 » 04 Jun 2022, 02:03

I have tried everything I can think of to build the large ferry , but , so far , no luck.

When I go to build it , it says " 1 / 4 , so obviously it is in multiple pieces ?

But the pieces never go together properly. :(

I'm pretty sure you don't build it on land , but maybe it must be built in particular relation to land ? Like , for example , parallel to land , or head on to a piece of land , or so many squares between land and water ?

In all pictures of the ferry I have seen there is always a pier extending out to the ferry , but there isn't an option to build a pier . Does it need to be adjacent to harbor squares , or some other kind of pier ?

I had the same apparent sort of problem ( ? ) with building a road ramp up to my bridges.

I finally " solved " the problem by click - dragging , with no interruption , a country road to the bridge road , and the ramp connection was thus made automatically.

I say , " solved " because getting the click - drag to go off without a hitch and work is still largely a matter of expensive luck . But I got my bridges built.

Maybe a similar piece of keyboard stroke sequences is involved in building the Large Ferry ?

Are you having a hard time building a ferry station and a harbor/pier? Well you need to make your own pier by adding land into the sea/ocean/river then you can put things on there like a ferry station.

Example :

I already built a commerce / industry specific harbor according to these instructions ;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTpi_s0RF_w

Now I'm trying to build a passenger and car ferry on another island . ( My city is divided up into three separate large islands )

There are different ferry and / or harbor / pier structure plugins ?

It might help if I specified the precise plugin I'm talking about ?

--- For some reason after downloading a plugin , while the plugin , and the plugin description , are accessible / viewable , I no longer see the NAME OF THE PLUGIN CREATOR anywhere.

And , " Large Ferry " is perhaps too generic a description of the plugin ? ---

Anyway , THIS is the plugin ;

( unfortunately it's only an intro , it doesn't show you how to build the ferry. :( )

Piers and harbors aside ( ? ) , the boat itself consists of more than one piece .

When I try to put the two ( ? ) three ( ? ) or four ( ? ) pieces of the boat together , I wind up with two , three , or four pieces of a boat facing in different directions and not connected .

That is the problem . ( so far ).
