Deposited money would not be used for current expenses, unless transferred back to the current account.

In case of hard basecosts settings it is a nightmare, to drain all water from ocean and money from account by one mouse slippery movement.
It is also impossible to saving money and protect them against automatic renew of expensive vehicles, without switching whole renew off.
Above proposed feature would solve such issues.

I tested this on a completely fresh install of jgr v0.16.0, no newgrfs or personal config file...
This used to work as expected on v0.14.0

Train 1 visits 2 stations and is then ordered to stop in the nearest depot. It enters the depot but then leaves immediately.

Train 2 on an identical track layout is ordered to stop in a specific depot. This it does as expected.

1. Names of vehicle groups are ordered like text strings in the list. If you have many groups of identical names distinguished just by numbers, it's ordered like this: XYZ 1, XYZ 10, XYZ 11 .... XYZ 2, XYZ 20, XYZ 21 etc. Could it be possible to order it by numbers?
2. Is it possible to overpass limit of 5000 vehicles of one kind (road, ships...)? When you play just with horse carriages and sailing ships for a long time you inevitably hit this limit earlier or later. Eventually when trains and engines arrive the number or road vehicles goes down rapidly.
3. Repairing costs patch. When an old vehicle stops in depot and is automaticly replaced with a new one you are charged for both, repairing cost of the old vehicle and purchase price of the new one. Is really necessary to repair it before selling it to scrap?
4. Some stations have suspiciously bad rating comparing to another ones (passenger stations in most cases) although they are serviced regularly. There are hundreds and thousands of passengers waiting for their transport in many of my stations, but these ones are nearly empty. See the savegame.

Thank you for your interest.

From version 1.4.1, transfer stations also should have a cargo rating. Cargodist works like kind of implicit transfer.

vazoun51 wrote: Truly said, I don't know exactly what does it mean, but I think it cannot explain that bad rating. The station in question is not just transfer station, people can begin and finish their travel there.

if ((_cur_year - c->inaugurated_year < 6) || (c->company_value>_economy.max_loan)) return_cmd_error(STR_ERROR_PROTECTED); 

McZapkie wrote: Open cargo flow legend, switch all companies and passengers on, you can see red link between Shady Falls Hotel S and Shady Falls - lot of peoples, transported by ships from Boneyard Hotel Z, are waiting for further transfer,
that explains your bad rating in Boneyard. There is no matter if you have or not explicit transfer orders, station rating depend on congestion in all intermediate stations until final destination of a given passenger group. It is standard openttd behaviour since 1.4.1 and is not related with this patch pack.

vazoun51 wrote:But I still can't comprehend why rating of these stations waver between 15 and 55% in a few years when there are many similarly serviced stations scattered all over the map which don't show this kind of behavior. My ships travel half-empty because of that bad rating. In most cases you have insufficient capacity for passengers with many thousands of them awaiting their travel and not reversely. One more savegame attached.

McZapkie wrote:OK. and what about cost of fixing purchase of company shares?
These also would be a good method of protecting part of company funds, but usually are switched off due to unfair issue: you can purchase shares for 1$ each and sell them for millions, because only condition is to check against company age (in case of difficult settings, 6 years old companies still have negative company value).

I propose to disable share purchasing, if company value is below maximal loan setting, economy.cpp code:

Code: Select all

if ((_cur_year - c->inaugurated_year < 6) || (c->company_value>_economy.max_loan)) return_cmd_error(STR_ERROR_PROTECTED); 

(maybe rounding of company value is necessary for protecting against desync?)

McZapkie wrote:BTW, I decreased repair costs to 1, but instead I get huge repair costs, twice as new vehicle value.
Probably a bug, I noticed in vehicle.cpp, that repair cost is divided, instead of multiplied.
