trAIns: An AI that plays only with trains (v2)

Wouldn't such a tunnel bankrupt the company?

Even if it didn't a tunnel of that length would quickly become quite a choke point...

meh, it was a nice idea, perhaps pathfind around the hill

pathfinder needs a bit of a tweak generally

Installed OpenTTD this weekend, and first game, few hours into it, I received this error

same error as above. It's quite an impressive AI anyway.

Must be a rare error I guess. Only happened after 109 trains built.

Comparator strikes again.

After a long time without any updates, I have decided to release a new version that fixes a bug and adds a new small feature.

Release notes:

• Improvement: Better bridge construction: it avoids, if possible, the construction of two consecutive bridges instead of only one. It also places signals "inside the bridge".
• Bug fix: Inconsistent compare function (thanks to Spyder, Samu and Kogut).

Enjoy!

Nicely done. Works well. Have tested it - funny how it doesn't terraform... I used hilly terrain, old TTD-like terrain generator and it functioned very well.
Plus default economy and the AI responded quite promptly to all the ups and downs industries had.

Reproducible savegame where this AI has trouble with newgrfs - building without checking whatever there will be enough casch for train, connecting industry not producing anything.

Hi. trAIns has created a train jam. A really long chain of trains are stuck, as you can see in the minimap.

Also, in the same savegame, near New Brinnley, there is an industry producing over 2200 m3 of rubber per month and trAIns has got 30+ trains going in there. The trains aren't stuck, but the capacity of the station is far low for that many trains.

One last thing. The bridge type choice of trAIns for every connection that I see, is not the fastest. There is another bridge type faster, up to a max speed of 611 km/h, instead of 515 km/h.
