How does conversion of cargo at the Machine Shop work? 8 tons of metal are transformed into 4 tons of engineering supplies and 4 tons of farm supplies? Is this valid for the delivery of petrol to a Machine Shop too? And does the Metal Foundry behave like this too?

By default, FIRS secondary industries don't close. There's a param to enable that if you wish (but there's no warnings other than the in-game news message). Check the readme file for parameter instructions

I don't You just found quite a serious bug

Number of test games that need to be played = number of parameters for production code

Hmm. Second thing - maybe it is second part of bug - production in secondaries seems to be smaller than before.

Thanks - the parameter is set. I was then shocked to see industries disappear with no warning - I'm sure there used to be a warning?

That warning is a news message, perhaps you have disabled that type of news?

Not as a parameter - sorry. The reason is testing. Here's some equations

Code: Select all

Number of test games that need to be played = number of parameters for production code

Except sometimes parameters have different effects when combined, then number of test games needed is factorial

It makes bug reporting + testing harder too.

I could make it an easy switch for people who are prepared to compile FIRS themselves (unsupported).

Hmm. Second thing - maybe it is second part of bug - production in secondaries seems to be smaller than before.

Could be a bug. Can you do me a favour and compare same industry and delivery amounts for FIRS 0.5.3 and 0.5.4?
