PYT - Mixed Cargo Vanilla Conversion Kit
The base game's cargo vehicles -- trucks, wagons, ships, planes, helicopters and trams -- listed a second time as PYT Mixed versions: the same vehicle, the same capacity, in four compartments that each take bulk, liquid, goods or flatbed cargo.
What it does
Keep the vehicles you know. This kit lists 59 of the base game's cargo vehicles a second time as “(PYT Mixed)” — trucks, wagons, ships, planes, helicopters and trams: the same vehicle, the same capacity, split into four compartments that each take bulk, liquid, goods or flatbed cargo.

Version 2.1
Why is Load Manager included?
Here's a little secret about these trucks. 😄
I originally wanted an easier way to manage cargo loading on trains and other vehicles. Then I had a thought: why can't trucks carry a proper mix of cargo too?
So we built the mixed-cargo trucks!
The funny thing is, Load Manager was the idea that inspired them in the first place. The trucks made it out into the world first, but the loader was always the reason behind them.
So it only seems fair to package them together. Now you can experience the trucks the way I originally imagined them.
Four cargo types. One truck. Precise loading at every stop.
And if you prefer the original loading controls, you can switch Load Manager off in the mod settings.
Enjoy!

Auf Deutsch: Ein kleines Geheimnis über diese Lkw. Ich wollte ursprünglich eine einfachere Art, das Beladen von Zügen und anderen Fahrzeugen zu steuern. Dann kam der Gedanke: Warum können Lkw nicht auch eine echte Mischung an Fracht laden? So entstanden die Mixed-Cargo-Lkw! Lustigerweise war der Load Manager die Idee, die sie überhaupt erst angestoßen hat. Die Lkw kamen zuerst heraus, aber der Lader war immer der Grund dahinter. Deshalb ist es nur fair, beides zusammen zu verpacken. So erlebt ihr die Lkw, wie ich sie mir ursprünglich vorgestellt habe: vier Ladungsarten, ein Lkw, genaues Beladen an jedem Halt. Und wer die ursprünglichen Ladeeinstellungen vorzieht, schaltet den Load Manager vor dem Laden in den Mod-Einstellungen aus. Viel Spaß! Epod
How it works
- Your base-game vehicles stay exactly as they are. Each one gets a twin next to it in the shop, “(PYT Mixed)”.
- No boost: the twin carries the game's own total, split into four slots (sized so the shop shows the game's own figure). Speed, power, years, running costs and loading speed are the game's own. The only difference is that it can carry four kinds of cargo at once.
- Set the mix on each stop's Load panel — the game's own panel.
- The game's own models, textures and sounds — nothing is copied, so it's a tiny download and always matches your game.
- Safe in any save. One small start-up script reads the six switches as a game loads — nothing runs while you play. If you remove the kit later, its twins leave your lines.
- Works with PYT - Load Planner: plan each stop's mix with sliders, see it as a coloured load bar, and let Smart fill load what is in stock.
The twelve trucks
- Small Horse Carriage (PYT Mixed) (1885–1910) — 4 slots, 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4, the game's own figure
- Horse Carriage (PYT Mixed) (1893–1920) — 4 slots, 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6, the game's own figure
- Steam Truck (PYT Mixed) (1905–1945) — 4 slots, 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10, the game's own figure
- AMO F-15 (PYT Mixed) (1924–1964) — 4 slots, 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12, the game's own figure
- Saurer C Type (PYT Mixed) (1942–1980) — 4 slots, 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 15, the game's own figure
- GMC 660 DFM (PYT Mixed) (1956–1990) — 4 slots, 6 + 6 + 5 + 5 = 22, the game's own figure
- MAN 19.304 (PYT Mixed) (1965–2010) — 4 slots, 5 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 18, the game's own figure
- Isuzu Elf TLD20 (PYT Mixed) (1967–2020) — 4 slots, 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10, the game's own figure
- GAZ 3307 (PYT Mixed) (from 1989) — 4 slots, 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16, the game's own figure
- FAW Jiefang J6P (PYT Mixed) (from 2014) — 4 slots, 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40, the game's own figure
- Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck (PYT Mixed) (from 2020) — 4 slots, 5 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 18, the game's own figure
- Tesla Semi (PYT Mixed) (from 2030) — 4 slots, 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40, the game's own figure
The game's tankers and tippers stay as they are — a tanker carrying planks would look a bit odd.

Latest update
2.1 — A PLANNER FOR EVERYTHING
The trucks, trains, ships, planes and trams all got compartments. Nobody had told them where to put anything. The Load Manager has the answers, and it came in the same box.
In plain terms: the PYT - Load Manager is built into this kit, with a tab for every kind of vehicle the kit covers, and you can switch it off like the six vehicle groups.
- New: the Load Manager is built in — a Loads card in every freight line's window with a slider for each stop, a Load Manager button in a vehicle's window, and an overview page behind the PYT button. Set each stop to load one cargo, a mix, or nothing at all; Smart fill leaves one-cargo stops alone. No other mod is needed
- New: you can switch it off. Don't want it? Open the mod manager, pick this mod and set PYT: Load Manager to Off before you load the game. Nothing of the Load Manager shows and nothing of it runs; the vehicles, their loading and their look are untouched. It is On by default
- Plays well with others: the Load Manager is the tool inside the standalone mod PYT - Load Planner, and this pack carries its own copy of it. If you install PYT - Load Planner too, it runs the Load Manager and this copy stays quiet. With several PYT mixed-cargo mods, only one copy runs, so nothing ever shows twice
