How do I fill these with fuel for transportation as cargo? I want to simulate loading/unloading at ports, and what happens if one catches fire.

Or is it no big deal in the grand scheme of CMO?

There are tank containers that can be edited with different oil, gas or fuel types.

I do not think the fire is simulated differently, but never tried

I tried that. After a few containers, I realized it would take me many many many hours to fill a commercial fuel tanker, especially a supertanker of 420K DWT size.

Yes, you can only edit one at a time.

OK, this can be done via lua.


Only after some trial and error with the Ai, enough for the new limit to appear



This code will add tanker containers to a tanker. 2000, if less are allowed due to the size of the tanker, it will stop there.

local u = ScenEdit_GetUnit({guid='CWVLA7-0HNMVC5FRQ4T4'})

for i=1,2000 do
u:createUnitCargo(4,14)
end

print(#u.cargo[1].cargo)

In this case the limit was 322.


This code will fill all of them with Diesel fuel.

local u = ScenEdit_GetUnit({guid='CWVLA7-0HNMVC5FRQ4T4'})
local cargoList = u.cargo[1].cargo

for i=1,#cargoList do
local c = u:getUnitCargo(cargoList.guid)
c:createContainerContentFuel(3001,33750)
end

More fuel codes in the game.

2001 = AviationFuel
3001 = DieselFuel
3002 = OilFuel
3003 = GasFuel
4001 = Battery
