Bug in OTTD

[veeroo]

Hello
There's a bug in OTTD.... :/
When you have a connection on the bottom part of the map (or quite far from the top) u can earn very much money...
Load the train, send the train to the second station (factory, sawmill etc...), stop it before the second station and destroy the first station. Wait until the sign will dissapear (In the orders there will be "(...cargo...) from unknown destination") and then run the train... U can earn very much money with one ride...
P.S. Sorry for my english, hope u'll understand me

I Don't understand :'(

I think he is trying to say that they already know this bug, and they will try to fix it.

The bug is technically that unknown stations act like they're at the very topmost corner of the map. This becomes a money cheat because cargo is paid for by the distance from the station it came from.... and the location of the origin station is calculated at cargo payment time as opposed to pickup time.

Why not keep track from which coordinates the cargo originates and at which coordinates it was last on a station, instead of the station from which it came. I think this would elimenate the bug.

Yes, that is the plan. We do the same thing for remembering the last vehicle type of a station. Donnu why this has stranded a little. It's a bit more work to implement, and is on the backtrack somewhere I suppose.
