Plaza as Industry (for eyecandy builds)

[2TallTyler]

Are you tired of your eyecandy castles, villages, or airports not having any passengers? This one-tile industry (disguised as a base game fountain or statue, set by parameter) produces and accepts passengers to give your builds the visitors they deserve.

Now available in BaNaNaS: "Plaza as Industry". Source available on GitHub.

Details:

• Appears to be compatible with FIRS 3, haven't tested with other industry sets
• Uses the production rate and cost of FIRS hotels
• Select its appearance as a base game fountain or statue in parameters
• Nearby station named "<Town> Plaza"

Let me know any suggestions, concerns, or bugs.

Another great idea, and I like how you implemented it.

Now that is a very cool idea.

Now a complete eyecandy city is possible

Found a bug with this. When used with any industry set (such as FIRS) and the Beaches you made, some of the industries provided by the other industry set have their specs changed so that they cannot receive or produce freight. It can be tested by creating a random map and checking the stats of all industry types through the industry list. It only seems to happen when this GRF is used with the Beaches you made, when only one or the other is used they don't cause the problem.

This at least appears to be compatible with ITI/ITL (despite ITI's disclaimer that it is not compatible with other industry sets); all the chains appear intact. No plazas spawned on map generation, but I assume funding-only is the intended behavior, so no complaints there.

Just quoting this one to make sure the bug report wasn't missed. I haven't tried reproducing it, mostly because I'm lazy and not planning to use the beaches myself.

Thanks for the test. That disclaimer is mostly aimed toward other full replacement sets like FIRS. I suspect it will work with one-off industries like this.

Yep, these are funding-only.

Thanks for bumping this. I received that bug report in the midst of some personal, Covid-19 related chaos, so I totally forgot about it. I'll open an issue on GitHub so it doesn't get lost again.
