I agree, Farm Supplies, Manufacturing Supplies and Building Materials are somewhat redundant since they have a large number of other avenues for production. I modified my copy so that Recycling Plant always produces Chemicals and Scrap Metal, those two can be used to make almost anything elseEmperor Jake wrote:It's also a nuisance sometimes to have to build half a dozen recycling plants until you get the one you want, and then carefully place your station so that the correct one is served. Why not just make all of them produce chemicals? That seems to be the most useful recycled product.
Farm supplies is somewhat redundant, we have plenty of industries producing those already, and you can convert chemicals to farm supplies with a fertiliser plant which needs to get more use. Scrap metal is very useful, but gets kinda OP when you have huge amounts of recyclables; and we have plenty of sources for building materials already.
Of course, I assume you may already have a different/better idea

With the increase in Industry Types for NewGRFs and Game Total recently; are there any plans to extend the FIRS economies?

Nah and yeah.JacobD88 wrote:With the increase in Industry Types for NewGRFs and Game Total recently; are there any plans to extend the FIRS economies?
The new industry type limit is 128 per grf; the previous industry type limit of 64 wasn't a problem for any existing FIRS economy. The largest economy is 'Full FIRS' with 51 industry types, and this is already overwhelmingly complex.
The increased industry type limit *does* make it simpler to add more economies, featuring new types of industries. FIRS already defines 66 industry types in total, and was doing some ugly tricks to work around the 64 limit. Those tricks are no longer necessary.

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
Good to hear can have so many industries. Like to see the Economy FIRS be able to access all the cargos . Not necessary have all the industries available, but make good use of the "Bulk Terminal" and the "Port" and treat these like Exporting and Importing products. The can accept cargo for Exporting like Coal, Iron Ore, Grain, Wool, livestock, bauxite etc. Import can be cargos from Industries that are not used in FIRS Economy like Coffee, Rubber, Beans, vehicles, etc.
The other Economies have a reduced number like you have now for those who not like to have so many.

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
You always have the limit of at most 3 input and at most 2 output cargoes for an industry

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
I decided to give this a go, and not only does the Builders Yard from FIRS now fail to show up, but in the Arctic environment the Gold Mine produces milk which is incompatible with FIRS' milk cargo. So probably not a good idea to mix these, and perhaps Andy should add some extra code for FIRS to disable itself when TaI is present.GarryG wrote:I been researching and testing other industries to use with FIRS as I like the idea of coal going to a power station and FIRS has no power stations. The file "Town and Industry - Basic Industries" (tai_industry.grf) if loaded before FIRS, adds the following extra industries ..

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
FIRS 1.4.4 works ok with Tai if Tai loaded first. The FIRS Builders Yard does not load, but replaced by a Factory from Tai. Also one of the Sawmills produces timber and goods, other wise I not found any other problems.
Tai does not work properly with the FIRS snakebites .. all the cargos are all over the place. Sometimes I wonder if FIRS and Tai should join forces and work together so they do work together and it will save the two groups making new industries. What one hasn't got the other does.

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
I think I spoke too soon. Just had a look at using both Tai and FIRS latest snakebite and it appears to be ok .. at least all the industries are showing the correct cargo for accept and produce. Over the next few days will test them properly.
I am using Nightlies r27288. I loaded Town and Industry - basic industries at the top and FIRS Industry Replacement Set 2015-05-24 (5622) second, but it doesn't appear to matter what order they are as all cargos showing correctly.
Thence I filled the Active NewGRF files with others I like. Just a matter of running some trains, trucks, ships and planes to see how they all work.

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
You can't trust Snakebite because it's an unstable development version that Andy has warned will change. My tests are based on what's currently available to the public via Bananas: FIRS 1.4.4 and TaI Basic Industries 0.5 beta.

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
I understand that. Talk to Andy before about it, he appreciate tests of what I been doing as he not always gets time to test it properly.
Yesterday I tested FIRS v5622. If load Tai before FIRS, all the cargos seem to work correctly.
Also noticed that the default vehicles that come with OpenTTD accepted the correct cargos and so did Australian Standard Gauge Set that I like to use.
This morning I downloaded FIRS v5623, and Tai cargos are now scew-whiffed. Default vehicles freight cargos are incorrect again and so are those with the Australian set.

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
Andy, has any considerations been given to removing the fact that FIRS disables itself under both mb Alpine grf (justified) and also the Alpine grf on BANANAS that fools the DB set into running in Arctic?
Something goes here, hell if I know.

Re: FIRS Industry Set - 1.4.3 released 31st Jan 2015
As they both have the same GRF ID, I guess a solution would be for the author of the Fake Alpine GRF to assign a version number different from the original alpine GRF, and then to check for that specific version number in FIRS. Then it would be possible to differentiate The original from the fake (and de/activate FIRS in consequence).

Assuming I've understood the issue correctly, I'm not going to add flakey string to FIRS to support grfs that pretend to be something they aren't to fool another grf into doing something it's not designed to do. That would be madness upon madness

Well if anything, the fake alpine climate grf is just to trick German Road Vehicles so that they appear in Sub-Arctic Climate, as they normally don't.

And with the new DBSet XL 0.9 on the way (soon enough, if I understood correctly), maybe this climate availability will be gone. If not, well maybe mb is gonna add compatibility with OGFX+ Landscape (there is a setting in this grf doing exactly what the alpine climate does).NekoMaster wrote:Well if anything, the fake alpine climate grf is just to trick German Road Vehicles so that they appear in Sub-Arctic Climate, as they normally don't.
