Some playing with industries resulted in an out-city steel mill...

Nice gforce. I too played around with out-of-city industries such as the Port and Distribution Center. I also did a Power Plant and Military Fort. However delivering goods to these will not count toward scenario objectives with a DELIVER_GOODS objective. So since I wanted to count how much coal I delivered to the Power Plant, I had to put it back into a city. Bummer.

You might want to mess with the <fScale> a bit, I think the engine is bigger than the Mill. Any InCity Industry can be out of town by changing the InCity number to 0, as I figure you did. Did you also give it an iCost of -1? How about you Choobacca, would that do what you want?

There are the following tags for this:
<bInCity>1</bInCity>
and
<InCity>TAG_CITY_NAME_CHICAGO</InCity>
I had bInCity set to 0 and InCity left blank to put the industry on its own.
But because it is not attached to a city, the game won't count goods delivered to it.
Also, the <fScale> tag is ignored when the industry is outside the city. Another bummer. I had to go in and manually scale the model to make it the size I wanted.

Anyone know someone in the CIA that can break the code for this map so we can fix all this stuff that keeps causing trouble?
