That is an interesting one...

The industry tiles were set to accept the wrong cargo. (Both industry & the industry tiles have to be set to accept the cargo correctly).

I've fixed that with the grf attached if you want to test it (I'd advise saving your game first!)
I'll wait to see if there are any more little things to fix this weekend, then release 0.1.1. to Bananas etc.

One thing I've noticed with the .1 and .11 releases. Before 1940, the game is spammed with huge amounts of sawmills, steel mills, Forests, and coal mines. All of the other industries have a token amount, (i.e. 1). It really unbalances the game when you want to do a nice big game of golden age nars. I know it's only the .1 release, but I wanted to make sure you were aware so you could keep up the amazing work.

Is it possible to transform one industry in another? Close industry of old type and immediately build newly introduced industry type.

I'll check the probability setttings for industries. However I have a feeling it's OpenTTD doing this, not the newgrf. Can you tell me:
map size?
version of OpenTTD?

No. There would be some interesting possibilities if it was, but it isn't.

Cargo payment rates not done yet I don't know why the game draws so much empty chart. It doesn't for default cargos.

The bright red in the picture cuts through the default TT-Forums theme, why not just type it?

And so what? that's his choice! I think it's fine for once or two. You don't need to stare on it, right? (no offence)

To andythenorth,
I know the problem is due to the cargo labels on the right stretched the graph, but the graph did not rescale itself. I will report it to bugs.openttd.org.

um... even in 0.1.1 and in the recent nightlies i keep getting annoying production errors, something about loops :/

Neko neko neko - I thought you knew how to file a better bug report than that
- OTTD version
- what is the error? (description, screen shot, and/or crash log)
- how is the error triggered?
- attach a save game that will crash, ideally without too many other grfs involved

Do all of that and I can try and figure it out...bug reports are very helpful

Openttd 1.0.0 RC3 and CargoDist r19518

I can't supply a screen shot or a saved game since my only access to the internet is my PSP now. Anyways while playing with FIRS 0.1.1 and r753M I get a message saying
"NewGRF 'firs.grf' provides incorrect information.

'Steel Mill' caused an endless loop in the production callback"

A simular message applies to the oil refinery, Sawmill, Foundry, Aluminium Plant

It appers the code has a bug in the above industries

[andythenorth]

'Steel Mill' caused an endless loop in the production callback"

I have a possible fix for this, but I can't reproduce the bug, so I don't know if the fix...fixes it

Anyone else seen the bug? Does the build below fix it (n.b no other new changes in this grf, just the possible fix).

As 69 pages is a LOT to read, I will report something I have seen:

Building a station (Road or rail I have tried thus far) near a junkyard, produces a station with NO name. It seems like some text is missing.

Sorry if this has already been reported.

Thanks. I've put a ticket in to fix this.

I wrote about it about 5 pages ago, but today when we have 1.2 version is (probably) better time.
Is it possible to have industries (forest!) on hilly terrain - like ecs forest/orchard?

[andythenorth]

Is it possible to have industries (forest!) on hilly terrain - like ecs forest/orchard?

I want to do it, but it needs some work on tiles and it probably won't be a FIRS feature for quite some time

[Kogut]

But is it possible (with George permission) to copy-paste orchard placement/tile code from ECS?
