No Factory Passengers

When you build or edit a line, the game switches on passenger loading at every stop whose station can take passengers, including the stations of a freight line at a factory, mine or warehouse. With this mod, the line editor leaves passengers off on lines that can carry cargo.

Features

• No passengers on cargo lines: when any stop of a line can load cargo (a cargo station with an industry or a warehouse in its catchment area), passenger loading stays off at every stop of that line, towns and docks included. It works from the very first stop you click.
• Passenger lines untouched: lines that cannot carry cargo, such as a bus line or a passenger train line, keep passenger loading, even next to a factory. Towns in reach no longer matter.
• Only the passenger flag is changed. Cargo loading, max load and waiting settings stay as the game set them.
• Lines with hand-made cargo filters are never changed, just like the game's own automatic settings. To carry passengers on a cargo line, turn them on in the stop's cargo filter.

Notes

• Existing lines are not changed until you edit their route in the line editor, when the game recomputes their automatic settings.
• Only patches the line editor and stores nothing in your save. Removing it just brings back the game's default passenger loading for lines you edit afterwards.

Changelog

Revision 5 (2026-10-18)

• Changed: passenger loading now stays off at every stop of a line that can carry cargo (any stop with a cargo station that has an industry or warehouse in reach), towns included. Passenger-only lines, such as bus lines, keep passengers, even next to a factory.

Revision 4 (2026-10-10)

• New: translations into Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). The mod follows the game's language setting.

Revision 3 (2026-10-08)

• Changed: Performance: editing town lines is faster. Stops with homes in reach are now recognised at the first house, without checking every building in the catchment area for an industry.

Revision 2 (2026-10-07)

• Factory to dock lines: passenger loading now also stays off at the dock (or any other stop with no homes in reach) when the line has a factory-only stop.

Revision 1 (2026-10-07)

• First release.
