New AI writer needs a little help.

Sorry for asking (possibly) stupid question but how my AI can get value of some game setting?
AIController.GetSetting(str) is for AI setting only?

(edit)
Oh, found it... AIGameSetting Sorry again.

hehe - no worries

Also don't forget that some of those values are indexed like subsidy value which can be a little confusing when you're expecting something like "4" but are getting "3"

And new one: how can AI check if building tree at tile will affect rating of needed town? Will AITile.GetClosestTown(...) show that?

Two requirements:
needed_town == AITile.GetClosestTown(tile);
AIMap.DistanceManhattan(tile, AITown.GetLocation(needed_town)) < AIGameSettings.GetValue("economy.dist_local_authority");

Thanks.

Can town and industry have same Ids or Id is unique for all objects in game? (e.g. townId=1 and industryId=1 at same game)

They can and will. Not only that, the ID's get recycled. So Industry 1 might close and later another industry would turn up with the same ID.
