No subsidies. Cargodist?

[Davie_UCF]

I was running Cargodist for a while.. Had subsidies showing up fine.
I then realised Cargodist is now part Of Openttd proper. So upgraded and started new game.

Now I get no subsidies at all. Is this because of Cargodist? If so is this the end of subsidies?

yes, you cannot have subsidies when cargodist is enabled.

Showing up was not the problem. Fulfilling them was.

Cargodist is fully ignorant about subsidies, so if you have a connection from A to B, and you get a subsidy from A to C, you can add tracks from A to C, and cargodist will distribute the cargo between B and C just as it always does.
A similar problem, you have a connection from A to B to C. You get a subsidy from A to B. Does cargo from A to C count?

We could not find a nice simple answer to such questions, and instead dropped subsidies for cargos controlled by cargo-dist. (cargos not controlled by cargo dist should still work).


When someone figures out a neat solution how to make cargodist and subsidies work together, we can have subsidies again for cargo dist controlled cargos.

Hello

As an addendum to what eddi said: If you disable CargoDist for one of the freight classes (passengers, post, express cargo or all other) the subsidies will reappear for this class.

Tschö, Auge
