i have tried your Mod in combination with my CareerRework mod, where i changed the licence conditions, prices and game start parameters. with my mod i start with 270.000 $ and have NO licenses. and after the basics, like driver and shunting i can choose one of the two shunting locos (DE2 and DM3) which costs each 100.000 $ now with your mod, the DM3 can be bought for 200.000 $ (correct) but the DE2 are available for 20.000 $
Here we are again, been waiting a while for most mods to update to the latest version.
See that you removed dependency for MessageBox which does not seem to have been updated in a while so that's good I presume. Though the mod is not working for some reason.
UMM and Vortex says everything is fine but when booting DV the ingame mod overview states that LocoOwnership (and some others) are not working (red blob and '!!!' referring to Comms Radio API and Language Helper which are both OK in the managers and in the ingame view).
So I've been busy finding the problem, reinstalled UMM, mods etc. But to no avail... You know anything that is going wrong or do I maybe need to go for a fresh new install?
I don't really like to call out for help this way but currently I see no other solution to the problem. I'll check back soon, thanks in advance!
EDIT: This time I checked the latest version for LocoOwnership which is 1.4.0 so that should be good.
A good bunch of DV mods aren't packaged in a way that's compatible with Vortex unfortunately, I personally wouldn't recommend using it as it could make UMM not being able to read where the mod .dll is
Not sure if it's my own stupidity or a bug. But I had a DM3 at Harbor & Town, left it at the roundhouse for a couple days, went back (with fast travel) only to find it is gone, I've gotten no message stating it despawned. I keep track of my loco's on an Excel sheet so I'm pretty sure I left it at Harbor and always leave them parked at or close to the service points/parking spots at locations.
Though again, it could be that I misinterpreted that I bought it. Anyways I thought I'd leave a message in case it did despawned and/or got replaced with another loco at the roundhouse.
P.S. is there any way the hard limit of 16 loco's can be increased? I tried changing the .DLL file and gotten pretty far but didn't know how to repackaged the file, otherwise I would have set it to 100 (not that I wanted to own that many loco's though :p)
Thanks anyways for your mod! It's a real must have for me, knowing there is a specific loco ready for my disposal when I need it!
I'll try to remember to look back at this comment in a few days in case you replied
Are you using versions from v1.0.2 to v1.0.4? Those versions had issues of locomotives despawning. For the loco hard limit, as of now there is no way to increase it, but I will make it customizable via mod settings in v1.1.1, once I accumulate enough changes to warrant a new update.
I was using V1.0.4 I see, just updated it to 1.1.0 now thanks for the advise any sorry for not seeing this earlier! About the hard limit, for now it takes a fair long time to get to 16 locos in total (since the buying prices are very balanced). I might get at this number after a playing session or ten maybe (which is still far away).
Anyways, until then many thanks for your time and by making this mod! I would have given a small donation but I see you don't accept them on the Desc page. (I'll come back in a few days for in case you left another reply)
Would you consider an option to refill consumables at the 2x price of servicing through the career manager in order to handle the case of being stranded without fuel/coal? Perhaps an option on the radio to refill a specific consumable, or even just the 3 most critical (fuel, coal, water) at that 2x price?
I'll consider that, I added the loco request feature to handle that specific scenario but I realized it'll only work when you own multiple locos to begin with.
Is anyone else having an issue with Unity Mod Manager saying this mod needs a restart? I've restarted the game and PC,, to no avail. Any help is appreciated.
Yea, I'm having the same issue. I tried uninstalling the mod and reinstalling and it doesn't seem to be fixing it. I still get the !!! and red icon on launch from UMM.
Edit - Found the issue. The requirements page needs updated for the mod. in the info folder the mod also requires DV Lang Helper/Language Helper.

As of v1.1.0, Language Helper is indeed a requirement for Loco Ownership. I've added it to the mod page just now, I had forgotten to when I released the update. Sorry about that.
Not sure if this has any relevance here but I'm using the previous version of the mod 1.0.1 and haven't had any trouble with despawning locomotives but i park them out places i think other locos would spawn just incase, just figured id let you know my experience but its a welcome addition to the game thankyou
v1.0.1 has a bug where conditions for loco purchase aren't properly checked, which was fixed in v1.0.2. Though if you do want to update to that version I recommend backing up your saves, considering the issues other users have posted here. I'm currently working on v1.0.3 to fix it, might be a compatibility issue with Persistent Jobs or other mods. If you encounter any issues in v1.0.2 please let me know
I don't know how to replicate it. It's happened a few times, usually on a loco that's not local to the station I'm at when loading. I can load the game frequently for several days without issue, then poof, on load.
I'm not sure, but I think it only refunds a quarter of the cost, as if I sold the loco, but that's unconfirmed, as I'm not always keeping track of my money.
I'll try to find out what's causing it, maybe you can tell me what other mods you're using? You can message me on Discord @cruzerblade9369 if you need any more assistance
I'm not entirely sure but I think it might be a bug from another mod, since I've had trains and locos disappearing well before I made this mod.

i want to play a game where i cant take a loco out of my pockets ^^
i have tried your Mod in combination with my CareerRework mod, where i changed the licence conditions, prices and game start parameters.

now with your mod, the DM3 can be bought for 200.000 $ (correct) but the DE2 are available for 20.000 $
Do you hardcoded this price in your mod?

If all went well you should have received my donation :)
EDIT: Just needed full uninstall and reinstall
