FIRS Industry Replacement Set - releases

[andythenorth]

The only thing I'm having is that too many hotels are built for my liking. My game after 35 years with 22 towns already has 12 hotels.

I have similar experience, also petrol stations do the same.

Which economy are you playing? Because probability is relative, every industry type active in the game affects the likelihood of every other type being built. Each economy has different types active, so I likely need to adjust probability per-economy. Blearch.

The FRIS Economy and secondary industry closure enabled. Maybe that's also why the quantity of hotels is so high compared to other industries. While technically they are primary industries of course.

Perhaps the following would make it a more interesting industry:
- 4 passengers in = 1 passenger out
- 1 food in = 1 passenger out
- 2 alcohol in = 1 passenger out

Which would essentially make hotels secondary industries, with the option to have them close if you don't use them. I'm not sure how this works with hotels in towns though: will the hotel or the town houses accept the delivered passengers?

On the topic of hotels, is there an option to change the funding of these individually? They're still too cheap for multiplayer purposes, and they're not prospective industries either.

[andythenorth]

Sounds like hotels could be improved

Lets see if I remember these requests. Maybe they need a ticket in the tracker.

Well, this can't be intended right?

...Well, this can't be intended right?...

Why not? Have this in snowy mountains and it turns out as a ski station filled with hotels...

(1) Have you tried the basic economies (choose one via parameter settings)? There are currently 3 basic economies. They have about 50% fewer cargos and industries.
(2) Industry windows have a button for cargo chain. You can link it to minimap. Nightly builds of OpenTTD also have a cargo chains option in the industry menu.

didnt even see that. Thanks for the heads up.

I presume it isn't savegame compatible with 0.8.x versions, is it?

Which ones?
I love 'Grocers Shop' and 'Hardware Store', although 'Petrol Station' was a bit silly...

I Think someone have report it, but The Steel Mill is still producing Grain and Livestock (http://dev.openttdcoop.org/issues/4859)

[andythenorth]

0.9.1 fixes the Steel Mill output cargos On Bananas.

Thanks for the report

[V453000 :)]

OH COME ON! That was clearly a feature!

/me wants animals and grain back!

[andythenorth]

What, no bug reports?

[bokkie]

Everybody thinks these are all features

Is it on purpose that groceries stop accepting produce when they're flooded with it?

[andythenorth]

Nope. How much cargo is 'flooded'?

80-100 tons a month. I believe the cause of the problem to be different though. Send multiple RV's to a station and don't make them leave empty (just unload): other vehicles with the same orders accidentily waiting there trigger the delivered cargo to be picked up again.
