Feature Optimisation: For Pc And Consoles | Pak Splitting: Split Routes From Trains

So as revealed in this video interview with AABS at around 16:04 onwards, it is said that when a train is loaded in a different route that has that train embedded in the route PAK, then the entire other route PAK file is loaded.

If that is the case why not split the trains and route into different PAK files. Have two folder structures even if it would get too messy to contain. One for trains, one for routes.

For example with WCML: oS you would have one PAK file for the route, and a few PAK files for the trains included with the route. This is obviously doable as you release standalone PAK files for Train only DLC.

Then when a route is loaded that uses a train from WCML: oS you only need to load the train PAK rather than the entire route and other train PAKS combined

 

Maybe this will get more interest when I put "consoles" and "optimisation" in the title
