Organic Town Industries

I never liked, how in game industries like Brickworks or Spinneries are built way too far from town, while they could've been placed in town where they belong. This makes in-town logistics much more interesting, as you need to move goods coming from out of town from peripheral stations to industries and back the other way. It also makes town look more interesting, as in addition to existing industrial building, you get actual manufacturing going besides them. But I also didn't want to move industries manually and wanted to have more vanilla like feeling of world being generated without your involvement.

This mod allows you to relocate in-game industries into town outskirts once and without any control over what city or what exact location industry will be placed at.

Limited eligible industries

• Industries like Mines cannot be moved close to city, as they are considered purposefully built on rescourse deposits;
• Industries like Farms and Logging Camps cannot be moved close because they require area not taken by urban environment;
• Industries like Oil Refinery are considered heavy and heavy industries move closer to Industrial buildings;
• Industries like Spinnery or Canning are considered light and light industries move closer to Commercial buildings;

Locations considered for industry placement

The following parameters are considered when selecting a new location for industry:

• How close it is to appropriate town buildings;
• How inline it is with the direction the appropriate district is sprawling from city center;
• How even is terrain at target location;
• How little elevation difference there is between appropriate district and target location;

After gathering all valid spots, this mod will attempt to place building at every one of potential locations, stopping at first successful placement attempt. Where first attempt is made for location, that is: closest to the building, most inline with district sprawling direction, has most even terrain and least elevation difference with town district.
