Nick's Birdtown Branch

The Birdtown Branch Line starts at Ela and heads North-East to a small town on top of the mountain across the river. The ruling grade is around 2%, so not extremely terrible for branch line standards.

Mod is install and run, no Milestones are provided and I don't plan to add them. However, another modder is actually working on using Alina's Progressions system at this time which will be an addon for this mod for those who want Milestones for it.

Link was added below to TarekZhort's progressions system for the Birdtown Branch Line. Get the mod if you'd like Milestones added for the Birdtown Branch.

Changelog:

V1.1 Fixes the Railloader displayed name

V1.2 adds a new crossover/escape track to the Brewery and swaps out the huge enbankment at Birdtown itself on the reversing loop for bridges.

V1.3 Update: This reverts to using the officially released version of Strange Customs available, this would be version 1.6.24103.2234. Tags are now under the Ela area and show up as the olive green color. This is in part for the modder mentioned above to be able to use the Progressions/Milestones.

V1.4 Update: This uses the values that Tomer created for the production, etc and rebalances the industry.

V1.5: Moved switch connecting to mainline so the normal position is to the mainline.

V1.6: Added wye to be able to access the branch from the East.

NOTE: V1.2 requires a Strange Customs Version (1.6.24156.1935 or up) which can be found on Zamu's website. Basically any version that adds the new "areas" syntax to be able to create them. Get this version if you want the new colored destination tags for the branch line right now. This includes Bendorsey Brewery and Ela Slaughterhouse having the light blue colored tag.

Needs The Standard Catalog of LoadIDs V3/V3.4 which came out on 4/18/24.

7/15/25: So yeah I've still not updated this lol. This is basically my problem child now and will probably need a more in depth rethink and rework at some point. Genuinely...I had a friend of mine make the actual branch that was at Ela anyway so I don't know if I'll even want to keep this in existence. Now the Brewery itself I like though, but that's kinda about it. Of course this was originally made when modding was rather crude and its not aged well so bear that in mind. I think if I do redo this, it'll be ripped out and the Brewery will probably be the only thing I keep.

New Industries included are:

Bendorsey Brewery

Ela Slaughter House

Birdtown Iron Ore Mine

Birdtown House Track (Acts as normal industry)

A.L. Coal Merchants

Lerro (Atlas) Sulfuric Acid (Was renamed)
