I dont manage to keep up much with recent developments on openttd but i do still play it quite regularly, anyway my problem is this:
About a month or so ago after installing the latest nightly (the one that lets you set messages to display opening/closing industries seperatly to economic changes) i noticed that every farm on the game that wasnt currently serviced was slowly shutting down..... I ignored this and assumed it was simply due to the messages being more noticeable now but then trend is still continuing and i am worried that soon enough there will be no farms left in my game!
Secondly and slighty more concerning is that more recently (when 6.0 appeared on the home page) i installed the nightly and have since had my oil industry collapse. Oil wells that were originally producing 2000 litres of oil are suddenly producing 32 or in some cases have closed down all together, with no newspaper message telling me so. This is not a 1 off as every oil well in my game has had its output fall suddenly from 500 - 2000 to less than 100 or in most cases nothing.
I dont no whether this is happening as part of a new feature which i totally missed or whether it is a bug, i cant find any controls to prevent these effects in the patches panel so i can only assume it is a bug.
My game is very developed (to put it simply) im currently in the year 2692 and i have a network of over 600 trains amongst other things, while i can afford to replace the declining industries i dont have time to search the very large map (2000*2000) for them all.
Could someone let me know if this decline in the oil and agriculture industries is intended or if its a bug? And if anyone has any advice on how to avoid it or minimise the effects of it.... And If you actually read through all of this youve already earned my thanks lol Thank you!
