Conveyor belts turn OFF?

Post by hun3 »

Does anyone know if there's a way to have the in game conveyor belts running without stopping. I'm on Slovak Village and using them in the quarry but when I go to the other side of the map to visit the missus they stop. Not cool.

Whats the work around? I want them 24/7 like Parker's crew on Gold rush :)

I never thought I'd see another Gold Rush fan on this forum :biggrin2: ! Do you have Automatic Engine Start turned off so the engine is always running? And are you on a standard size map or a 4x map? IDK much about Slovak

I'm a big fan of gold rush..and when I saw you can gold mine in my favorite sim game I was all over it. Slovak Village is the map.

So yes auto engine is OFF. I think Slovak is a standard size map. It just doesnt make sense why the belt go off when you walk away. I thought it was the contractor mod so I disabled it still no success. Parker will be pi** :confusednew:

Hmm, maybe it is because you are not there to load in that specific area so the conveyors stop because they arent being loaded. hmmm

Do they only turn off some time after you walked away?

If yes, you might be able to fix it by changing the value of a parameter in one of the XML files of the game if you play on Windows or macOS. See the following post for more information: viewtopic.php?f=920&t=105805&p=815501&h ... on#p815501

Sounds more like a problem Todd would've had , probably the reason he never got much gold , it was in the ground , just couldn't keep the conveyors running ! :hmm:

I dunno I watched dozer Dave rip frost side hill for season after season complaining he keeps sliding down the hill and never figuring out to just rip going down hill.

Poor Parker is probably still trying to get used to not calling Rick on the radio whenever he needs someone to take care of something :lol:

Sir you are a god sent. Thank you for the tip..looks like it is working. I changed the value from 30 to 30000 and now the belts are running even when I'm picking my nose on the other side of the map. :)

Let me add in case others wondering what I did. I edited the gameSettings.xml which is located where the save games are.

Then I edited the <motorStopTimerDuration>30</motorStopTimerDuration>

to this: <motorStopTimerDuration>30000</motorStopTimerDuration>
