i have no idea if one is supposed to put [REL] in the title but everyone has and it looks cool so
Incredibly teeny-tiny mod which adds the Tallinn-Stockholm ferry connection, which i personally missed dearly from ProMods.
Prices and time taken from Tallink, which is the main operator of this ferry line.
Mod only adds definitions (hence the size).
Up to date for 1.28

Thank you for this. Now it is so much easier to get from Scandinavia to Estonia and the other way around.

This will introduce "the ferry bug" for all jobs between Sweden and Estonia

I've heard about the ferry bug. Would anyone care to explain it?

Ferries in this game don't get any routing penalty. So, when the game generates a route for your job, it'll always prefer a ferry. Of course, you can change your route manually and ignore the ferry if you want to drive, but the money you'll get for that job is already affected so it's a problem.

So is the problem that the routing doesn't take the extra time a ferry takes into account?

The time and distance are completely ignored, thereby significantly reducing job value.
A job from Stockholm to Tallinn via Finland could be several tens of thousands of €, whereas with the ferry enabled the job is likely to be 2000€ or less.
Therefore "the ferry bug" destroys the economy.
SCS should really fix this, then we could add more realistic ferries into ProMods, including this one.

"[REL]" means "released", by the way. As opposed to e.g. "[WIP]", "work in progress".

I see. That
is a problem.
