After many, many hours of work, I have finally finished the largest part of the bulk materials handling terminal. This was a real learn-as-I-build experience using all kinds of assets, roads, textures and also playing withthe terrain modding to get the heaps of materials to looks right. I am still not 100% happy with the terrain modding but it looks okay, I don't think TpF2's grid is fine grained enough to do anything much finer.
My only regret is it looks a bit 'out of time' compared to the neighbouring container terminal, like it's stuck in the 1980s or something, but I guess it isn't too bad for something where I had to 'invent' contraptions for managing the heaps, actually calcualte the logistics of how all the conveyors work together, connect rail, road and water traffic for various loading and unloading for the materials. I ended up with a very big coal terminal, with a slightly smaller ore and limestone terminal on the other side. I couldn't find a very convicing dirty red texture for the iron ore so I had to use a soil testure, it actually looks fine from a distance and adddding a few rusty-looking puddles enchances the idea a little.
My intention is for it to be a usable 'pick up' point for ore, lime and coal for the steelworks I will build later, using freestyle industry and some clever slow speed track the loading should look realtively realistic. The rail infrastructure has sidings and a headshunt that will take 160m long waggons that can be shunted in and out by private corporate BR 29xs as I see fit, and I have arranged goods stops so that it will work as a route that will come from the large marshalling yard, be shunted around the terminal, filled, and shunted back out to sidings to then be dragged back to the marshalling yard
I will be moving on fron the harbour to a different part of town for a while. I'm getting sick of shipping terminals! I plan to do some more for general materials, and steel products that will take in steel from the steelworks as an input. I also need to research some ideas for an 'old harbour' area so I have have some old warehouse buildings and such, maybe with some gentrification and new businesses, as well as supply depots.
