No problem.

Still ploughing through FIRS´s economies, I think that production of 63 sacks of coffee per month seems a bit homeopathic, since a sack of coffee usually weighs around 60kg (Santos, Brasil), and even a small box car (15t, 45m³) could hold easily 250 sacks. Not to mention the bigger cars?

Paper Mill. DanMacK did most of this one, I'm just polishing it up

Nice, albeit a little too modern, so I hope that you can keep the old design pre-1900

Oh, and by the way: If there's possible to impose a requirement that paper mills should be constructed close to a river, it would be nice. They need a lot of fresh water.

Hopefully any bit of water, because it would be a pain if you couldn't build a paper mill next to a large river tile lake or river (like some of the rivers and lakes in my Canada 2048x2048 map)

Working on peatlands (peat extraction site for fuel and horticulture).

Bit basic right now, but eh

FIRS is a very Keynesian world one must assume!

andythenorth wrote:Do a screenshot showing some situations where you'd like to have placed a hotel? Currently it uses the built-in 'near town' flag, but it could use custom placement rules. In FIRS, custom placement rules apply mostly to the game when generating the map or randomly adding an industry. For most industry types, players can fund an industry with most of the restrictions ignored (this doesn't apply when using the built-in 'near town' flag).

Ok, good case. We have similar placement rules already for Recycling Depots. I can change this, don't know when. Prompt here if you hear nothing for months...

I don't think you got around to changing this. Working on a scenario again and I'm still hitting this restriction. Using In A Hot Country economy.

Timely reminder, thanks. Fixed in http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/fir ... e4c4340407

1) Hotel now checks distance to houses, rather than town sign, aiding the game placing it on the edge of large cities.
2) Player can build hotel without restrictions, in game or scenario editor.

Also applied to Brewery, Flour Mill and Junk Yard.

New version is generating an error in OpenTTD 1.6.0 when you click on an industry:

NewGRF 'FIRS Industry Replacement Set r5587' provides incorrect information. Callback 0x37 returned unknown/invalid result 0x808

Some of the industries display with blank titles in the industry build list. This error does not appear with OpenTTD 1.7.0.

*EDIT* Another small complaint in the Fund New Industry window. The description for some of the industries forces the window to be quite wide. It would be good if this would wrap so I could make the window more narrow.

There was a change in CB37 (cargo sub-type display), extending the text range into 0x800 .. 0xBFF. Andy should include a check for OTTD <1.7 (r27769?).

Yup, OpenTTD version check now updated, ta.

Interestingly, here in lower Saxony we have still a lot of active peat factories (a smaller one where I took photos). And by chance, yesterday I stumbled over an article about a number of still existing "peat trains" in the Drehscheibe Railway Magazine, so here´s a list of (partly) still existing peat factories. Mind you that focus here is more on their Decauville-style trains, but there are also photos of peat factory buildings, loading facilities etc (it´s all German, but "Torf" == "peat"

Useful.

Feldbahn might also reappear in one of my sets - there's some in HEQS, but with NotRoadTypes it doesn't have to use electrified tram tracks.

This was a bug, now fixed, cheers
