acceptance and suppliance behaviours of waterborne cargo patch
Posted: 27 Oct 2017 21:25
This patch changes the way Oil Rig industries (or other industries that provide stations) accept or supply cargo to stations nearby. It also changes how Exclusive Transport Rights function in relation to neutral stations.
Adds an expert game setting, located under Environment/Industries which allow disabling or enabling the behaviour:
- "Allow company owned stations to serve water industries" - When enabled, industries with attached stations (such as Oil Rigs) may also be served by company owned stations built nearby. When disabled, these industries may only be served by their attached stations, and any nearby company stations won't be able to serve them.
It is defaulted to enabled
Savegame conversion will treat it as being enabled whenever loading savegames before this patch. In essence, to mimic 1.7.1 behaviour, enable it.
Regarding Neutral stations, they are no longer affected by Exclusive Transport Rights, which means cargo will still be supplied to these stations, even during Exclusive Transport Rights. Previously, no cargo was ever supplied to them.

v4
- reduced the number of settings from 4 to 1, for simplification.
- serving cargo from one water industry when multiple water industries of the same type are within catchment radius will now only trigger the industry the attached station is attached to.
- simplified code a bit and added some comments where mostly needed.
