Paid Warehouse Deliveries

In the base game, bringing cargo to a warehouse earns nothing until it reaches its final destination. With this mod, the cargo's owner pays you a handling fee when your warehouse takes the cargo   over. The full price is still paid at the final destination.

  HOW TO USE   1. Enable the mod. It also works in running savegames.   2. Build a warehouse with a station or stop in its catchment area, and let a line unload cargo there.   3. That's it. The fee appears above the vehicle once it has finished unloading, and counts as its income in the vehicle, line and finance statistics.

  HOW MUCH YOU EARN   Each warehouse counts its unloaded items per game year:   - Items 1 to 730 pay the warehouse's yearly maintenance, shared equally.   - Items 731 to 1,168 pay the profit on top.   - After that, deliveries pay nothing until 1 January.

  The distance doesn't matter. Every module raises the fee, because it raises the maintenance. A well-used warehouse pays for itself and makes a small profit; an idle one only costs money.

  MOD OPTIONS   Change these in the mod settings before you load your game.   - Warehouse profit (0% to 50%, default 10%): the profit on top of the maintenance.   - Paid items per warehouse and year (1,168 to 35,040): raise this if your deliveries stop paying too early. Deliveries pay for longer, each item pays less, and the yearly total stays the same.   - Warehouse income (50% to 500%, default 100%): raise this if you want more money. Above 100%, warehouses become a source of income.   - Write fee details to the game log: for bug reports.

  NO PAYMENT?   - The warehouse has reached its limit for this year. Payments start again on 1 January, or raise "Paid items per warehouse and year".   - The warehouse is full, so the vehicle can't unload.   - The item was already paid. Each item pays only once, even at a second warehouse.   - The cargo went directly to an industry or town. The game pays for that delivery itself.   - The warehouse isn't yours. Only your own warehouses pay.

  WAREHOUSE MODS   Any warehouse built with the game's warehouse system works automatically and counts as one warehouse, however many stations deliver to it. Rules for individual warehouse mods are out of scope, the mod options are there for that. Please report a bug if the fees don't match the maintenance shown in the warehouse window.
