Pikka's Basic Industries (PBI) - 1.5 6th of September 2008

Post by PikkaBird »

--------
Latest version is 1.5, 6th of September 2008

See the wiki page for information and downloads.
--------


So, I have finished my basic industry set! It is called, very imaginatively, Pikka's Basic Industries.

Features:

*UKRSI-style stockpiling for all secondary industries in all three climates.
*New graphics for many industries, including snow/desert versions.
*New industries and cargos, including the steel chain in arctic.
*Secondary industries are built only near cities (and yes, the exact requirements are now specified in the error popup :)))
*Primary industries (mines) have limited resources, and will decrease production and shut down when those resources are exhausted.

Windows grf
DOS grf

I'll put together a wiki page and a grfcrawler entry shortly. If people want to try it out for me in the meantime, I will be very grateful. :)

Edit: just a note, this grf effectively supercedes the UKRSI. It should not be used in conjunction with the UKRSI grf.

Edit again: I've decreased the appearance chances of some secondary industries. If you were finding you got way too many paper mills, try downloading the grf again. :)

Oooo, more industries, the stock piling is far more fun (and realistic) than the original way and adds another dimension to the game by not sending everything to one powerstation. Great stuff again Pikka.

1) Snowed rails of steel mill
2) Some brown-green ground tiles (sprites 771-778)
3) Snowed ground (with covered harvested raw material) on mines
4) Lowest part of the windmill

Hmm, I'll try some older versions and see if I can find when the bug appears then, thanks.

Edit: hmm, nope, I still get the bug back earlier than that. :(
Edit again: George, do you have noinflation on? I don't get the bug if I turn that switch on.

Yes.

Edit: I tested with noinflation off. The result is the same - I do not get the bug.

It's probably some conflict with another switch.

I've posted my cfg in the other thread and Csaba is looking into it. :)

This is what has changed.

Also, those who want their quarries and engineers yard back should snaffle this grf.

Also also, Csaboka has fixed the save/load inflation bug, hooray. :) So you can now (or as of the next nightly, anyway) safely use new cargos with noinflation off.

I'd like to file a bug report:

I'm playing in tropic, happy that my company is finally starting up. I can even afford my first copper transportation; but then, a sudden surprise: the tropic factory doesn't in fact accept copper. Its tiles accept copper ore, but it won't produce anything from that. On the other hand, it won't accept the copper it should process. Could you please fix that, so the factory workers can start doing their job? :)

I'm afraid I have another bug to report.

Now that the copper business has been started, I've managed to "overfill" the copper mill (I've went beyond the allowed 800,000 liters of fuel oil). It stopped accepting fuel oil just as it should, but I can't feed it with copper ore either. It accepts the ore, but the amount of ore that waits for processing stays the same. This means the fuel oil level will never drop and the industry will forever act as a drain for copper ore.

I guess it's a bug with the "opt out of acceptance" callback. To make it easier for you, I've attached the game with the "dead" mill, and my config.

(Hehe, it's funny being on the other end of a bug report - posting it instead of receiving it :)) )

Hmp. I really should test these things properly before I release them, shouldn't I?

Edit: ah right prop 18 uses the cargo bit, not the slot...

Edit again: fixed!

Edit again again: I stuffed up a thing with the cargo labels, so you may want to download the grf again if you just read this. :roll:

This feature will revolutionise TTD transport systems!
Instead of a single large mainline, you'd have several smaller systems.
Graphics are of course good too. Well done!
I heard the stories that they tell of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul to hell
