• Debug would be similar to what is displayed in the log at the moment
• Info would be somewhat shorter and less cryptic, with actual town names:

People moved to Cool City from:
- Dulltown
- Boring Junction

• Is the the migration depending on how much cargo is moved from an industry?
• Does it work better when multiple industries are served?
• Can a town become a ghost town (population = 0) if everybody moves out?

Does it work better when multiple industries are served?

Can a town become a ghost town (population = 0) if everybody moves out?

Tiles seem to be valid, so maybe there is a problem with GSCompanyMode here?

That way, you could monitor which town are growing (pretty obvious), and which town are shrinking (less obvious).

But other cities don't shrink, even when they are quite big.

• Cleaned up logging.
• Script now keeps track of people in already destroyed houses that didn't get a destination. (global population now always increases)
• Should now be compatible with down to 1.4.0.
• Warning about missing save function is gone.

• I removed the water tiles from the "tiles" array, because when trying to remove a building, the script would sometimes remove water tiles, and that was annoying for ships.
• I also sorted the array so that the surrounding buildings are removed before the central ones.

	function _removeBuilding() {
		...
		tiles.Valuate(GSTile.GetTownAuthority)
		tiles.KeepValue(currentChoice)
		tiles.Valuate(GSTile.IsBuildable);
		tiles.KeepValue(0); // houses are not buildable
		tiles.Valuate(GSTile.GetOwner);
		tiles.KeepValue(-1);
		tiles.Valuate(GSRoad.IsRoadTile);
		tiles.KeepValue(0);
		tiles.Valuate(_isIndustry);
		tiles.KeepValue(0);
// here what I added
		tiles.Valuate(GSTile.IsWaterTile);
		tiles.KeepValue(0);
		tiles.Valuate(GSTile.GetDistanceSquareToTile, townPos);
		tiles.Sort(GSList.SORT_BY_VALUE, GSList.SORT_DESCENDING);
		...
		}

I am under the impression that the _removeBuilding functions follows a pattern: it screens buildings from southeast to the northwest.

I'm playing with version 2 from BaNaNaS, and it every few months it bulldozes ocean tiles (but leaves buildings untouched), temporarily stranding boats until the tiles regenerate.

When towns created in the scenario editor get completely bulldozed to 0 population, roads stay but any bridges are deleted (have not tried bridges built by the GS).

Can towns grow in the usual way by delivering cargo/pax, or are they limited to whatever population the local industry can support?

The town generator doesn't seem to take into account minimum distance between towns.

• Water tiles are no longer considered when finding a building to remove.
• Removal is now random instead of deterministic.
• Added option to bias building removal to spherical towns. (makes towns smaller instead of ghost towns)
• Fixed bug that would make the script ignore towns without industry when finding a building to remove.

They are limited to whatever the local industry can support. Right now they don't need to meet any requirements other than having work.
