15:02:50  <dihedral> lol
15:03:18  <dihedral> let's all visit belugas... he could eventually have more time for developing again if we did that :-P
15:03:39  <V453000> if you imprison him perhaps I figure
15:05:33  <dihedral> don't do that. endangered species and stuff, you know?
15:09:38  <V453000> :d

18:04:22  <andythenorth> nah looks legit to me
18:04:24  <andythenorth> I run trucks
18:04:30  <andythenorth> call it “realism"
18:04:51  <Alberth> ok

18:05:40  <andythenorth> no road hog?
18:05:48  <Alberth> no :(
18:06:00  <andythenorth> add it to your running game
18:06:01  <andythenorth> will be fine
18:06:05  <Alberth> maybe I should start again
18:06:14  <andythenorth> just add the grf :P
18:06:31  <andythenorth> unless you have already built default RVs
18:06:43  <andythenorth> road hog is getting almost nice
18:06:59  <Alberth> termite tracks is expensive :)
18:07:29  <Alberth> can be good though
18:13:14  <andythenorth> I never looked at the costs
18:13:17  <andythenorth> could adjust...
18:13:26  <Alberth> nah :)
18:14:11  <Alberth> running cost of iron horse is higher, so it kills your profit quickly if you're not careful
18:14:45  <Alberth> making 20k pound / year makes for very slow building

19:05:10  <Alberth> quak
19:07:21  <Alberth> wouldn't it be useful if FIRS would use the climate selection for "basic eceonomy"
19:07:48  <Alberth> it's a bit weird to play basic arctic economy in temperate climate :p
19:07:54  <frosch123> hola
19:09:02  <planetmaker> hi ho
19:09:34  <planetmaker> Alberth, yes, that'd make sense. It'd also make sense to make 'basic economy' the default
19:09:44  <planetmaker> where selection allows to choose any economy in every climate
19:10:03  <planetmaker> though with basic default... can be argued most people won't find complete then
19:11:59  <andythenorth> action 14 has no way to figure out what climate is in use
19:12:08  <andythenorth> because it’s not chosen yet when setting newgrf params
19:12:13  <andythenorth> and action 14 is static anyway :)
19:12:30  <Alberth> just make an option "basic economy"
19:12:31  <planetmaker> no. But there could be 'default' for economy selection. And that would turn out one or the other economy
19:12:47  <andythenorth> so ‘basic - auto’
19:13:09  <Alberth> "basic" means different things when you change climate
19:13:17  <Alberth> just like the original baseset
19:13:27  <andythenorth> hmm
19:13:35  <Alberth> gameplay between climates is really different
19:13:35  <andythenorth> I have no strong feelings either way
19:13:46  <planetmaker> yeah... auto economy basically
19:14:13  <Alberth> maybe "basic climate dependent econommy" ?
19:14:29  <andythenorth> I wonder if it’s just one line of python per industry
19:14:30  <andythenorth> might be
19:14:49  <Alberth> ie give a hint it might change when you dare touching the climate selection :p
19:15:02  <andythenorth> I dunno, the whole parameter setting UI is unlovable
19:15:07  <andythenorth> but I don’t want to unpick that
19:15:10  <planetmaker> it wouldn't even be a change to any industry, I think, andythenorth
19:15:16  <planetmaker> just in the parameter treatment
19:15:23  <andythenorth> oh maybe
19:15:32  <andythenorth> if there’s a layer of indirection
19:15:41  <andythenorth> MIght Just Work tm
19:15:46  <andythenorth> Might *
19:15:51  <andythenorth> and ™
19:16:06  <Alberth> oh, and as pm says, basic as default would be lovely
19:16:40  <andythenorth> yeah
19:16:45  <andythenorth> hitting people with Full FIRS is stupid
19:16:54  <andythenorth> there are some other changes I wanted to do in FIRS
19:16:56  <andythenorth> new sprites and such
19:17:01  <andythenorth> but developing on FIRS is slow
19:17:12  <andythenorth> and I have Squid, Road Hog, Termite, Iron Horse....
19:17:16  <andythenorth> snow for CHIPS o_O
19:17:16  <Alberth> one commit / day :)
19:17:19  <frosch123> hmm, i wanted to add the economy parameters...
19:17:40  <andythenorth> I have been considering adding just different flavours of supplies
19:17:46  <andythenorth> *behaviour
19:17:58  <andythenorth> FIRS has tried to find ‘ultimate’ supplies behaviour, but I don’t think there is one
19:17:59  <Alberth> sounds useful
19:18:08  <andythenorth> and if there was, it would get boring
19:18:18  <Alberth> it makes it useful to use all supplies
19:18:19  <andythenorth> so maybe 2 or 3 different behaviours
19:18:48  <andythenorth> I would like primary production to use the industry production multiplier var
19:18:55  <Alberth> multiply production by 2 if you deliver a type of supplies :p
19:19:20  <andythenorth> frosch123: you have some bee in your bonnet about smooth economy, I recall?
19:23:00  * andythenorth plays Alberth’s savegame
19:23:52  <andythenorth> the P&L window would be more useful if it grouped cost & income per transport type imo
19:24:03  <andythenorth> ‘not realistic’ :P
19:24:27  <andythenorth> scrap metal train makes a lot of profit, eh?
19:24:35  <Alberth> it's a long distance
19:24:44  <Alberth> and a flat terrain
19:24:57  <andythenorth> you could narrow gauge at Hilwijk
19:25:03  <Alberth> moving the stuff up the hill is very expensive
19:25:04  <andythenorth> for that iron ore mine -> mill
19:25:28  <andythenorth> ha ha weight multiplier 8 :)
19:25:51  <andythenorth> I used to use 6 because NARS said so
19:25:53  <andythenorth> now I use 1
19:25:54  <frosch123> andythenorth: you mean the built-in smooth economy?
19:25:59  <andythenorth> frosch123: yes
19:26:14  <andythenorth> before I go doing anything with FIRS production monthly change
19:26:17  <Alberth> oh, I started anew with an up-to-date road-hog, which also gives nice trams
19:26:27  <andythenorth> yeah trams galore
19:27:03  <frosch123> it randomises the production of every industry every month, which is bad for multiple reasons
19:27:21  <frosch123> for once there are way too many news items
19:27:45  <frosch123> seconds: the production changes so often, that any randomisation averages out
19:28:09  <andythenorth> it’s a user choice though?
19:28:18  <frosch123> it would be way easier and more transparent to the player, if the production would just lineary increase, instead of randomness which is not really random
19:28:19  <andythenorth> or I could just have FIRS listen to random prod change?
19:28:47  <andythenorth> I want a variant where industry production is ‘prod multipler + supplies boost'
19:29:00  <andythenorth> which current code blocks, but isn’t conceptually hard at all
19:29:08  <frosch123> i think many industry sets try to make random changes, which only make things complicated to balance, but do not actually achieve any gameplay relevance
19:29:29  <andythenorth> I would rather delegate to ottd, except for boost behaviour
19:29:35  <frosch123> so, either production should change via fixed rules, without any randomness
19:29:53  <frosch123> or randomness should be rare, so it is actually random: i.e. only few industries, but big impact
19:30:05  * andythenorth forms ideas for FIRS 1.4.x
19:30:09  <andythenorth> or maybe FIRS 2.x
19:30:09  <Alberth> sounds useful
19:30:22  <andythenorth> I could use some help tbh :P
19:30:30  <frosch123> other than that, i don't like changing production over time
19:30:31  <andythenorth> I have bitten off more than I can chew on newgrfs again
19:30:47  <andythenorth> maybe it’s time for a 2.x branch
19:31:04  <frosch123> while i have no idea how current yeti works, i think i gave V the initial code for the type of behaviour i currently like
19:31:10  <Alberth> would be useful if GS can set a policy for industry production changes, probably
19:31:26  <frosch123> basically making output depend on amount supplied, but in a sub-linear way
19:31:46  <frosch123> no randomness at all
19:31:57  <andythenorth> so FIRS is linear, but too much so
19:31:57  <Alberth> yeah, I liked the non-instant delivery of output too
19:32:06  <frosch123> giving the player the freedom to deliver as much as they want
19:32:20  <frosch123> but at the same time offering some benefit to deliver multiple industries
19:33:57  <andythenorth> so FIRS 2.x
19:34:07  <andythenorth> - more supply behaviour / production options
19:34:17  <andythenorth> - change which economy is default
19:34:22  <andythenorth> - automatic ‘basic’ economies
19:34:54  <andythenorth> - there’s some request about allowing primary industry closure or such
19:34:56  <andythenorth> I dunno
19:35:14  <andythenorth> I am -1 on parameters as first design choice for everything
19:35:26  <andythenorth> but +1 on offering options that turn out to be reasonable
19:35:45  <frosch123> i don't see any gameplay reason for closing industries :)
19:36:12  <frosch123> it's hard to balance on huge maps: you may not close unserviced industries or vast areas will be deserted
19:36:22  <frosch123> and players complain if you close serviced ones
19:36:26  <frosch123> so, you can never close them :p
19:37:31  <andythenorth> certainly there’s no newgrf way to do it
19:37:39  <frosch123> hmm, idea: close processing industries which accept multiple cargos, if they are only delivered one cargo type over 5 years
19:37:39  <andythenorth> only to listen to what ottd wants
19:37:53  <frosch123> so, if players service industries, they must service all input cargos
19:37:58  <andythenorth> interesting
19:37:59  <andythenorth> quite hard
19:38:08  <andythenorth> often a needed source is a long way away
19:38:12  <frosch123> it's somewhat more harsh than the production bonus for delivering multiple types :p
19:38:17  <andythenorth> it would be hurt-me-plenty mode
19:38:44  <frosch123> same could be done for primary ones
19:38:58  <frosch123> they start with a stockpile of supplies for 5 years
19:39:05  <andythenorth> countdown
19:39:15  <frosch123> supplies only deplete if the industry is actually serviced
19:39:27  <andythenorth> is that what ECS does?
19:39:33  <frosch123> it's somewhat like the old pbi mine depletion, but with an option for the player to elongate it infinitely
19:39:58  <andythenorth> currently supplies can be too volatile
19:40:04  <frosch123> andythenorth: no, in PBI you can do nothing, except disable the feature
19:40:25  <andythenorth> ECS or PBI?
19:40:29  <frosch123> and in ECS industries even close when the towns grow, since raw industrie are not allowed inside cities or so
19:41:50  <frosch123> andythenorth: well, closure is tricky for sure, esp. if you leave the game unobserved, e.g on a public server
19:42:12  <frosch123> so, maybe the reduction of output is more fair :)
19:42:13  <andythenorth> I never use it, never want it
19:42:20  <andythenorth> I find the closure concept tedious
19:42:27  <andythenorth> maybe bad experiences in 1995 :P
19:42:34  <Alberth> ECS mines have an estimated remaining amount to deliver
19:42:42  <andythenorth> always, just building a huge rail line, then the industry closes
19:42:43  <frosch123> still, i kind of like that primary industries would start with high production, and lower production over time unless they get supplies
19:42:50  <frosch123> that gives a quicker game start
19:42:56  <Alberth> but they tend to find new resources for some time after that
19:43:07  <andythenorth> I would rather see industry initial production spread over higher range
19:43:08  <frosch123> you can transport lots in the beginning without worrying about supplies
19:43:13  <frosch123> but still have to do them in the long run
19:43:23  <planetmaker> interesting concept

19:44:53  <frosch123> well, you can always make a setting to select from 123 different economy mechanics :p
19:45:06  <frosch123> they don't need to be good in that case :p
19:45:19  <andythenorth> yes, I am a fan of that approach
19:45:23  <andythenorth> 99 choices
19:45:25  <andythenorth> none of them good
19:46:09  <andythenorth> :)
19:46:13  <andythenorth> related
19:46:27  <andythenorth> I never play Full FIRS anymore

19:53:18  <V453000> just make something better andy and eventually make it default :P
19:53:20  <V453000> much better than removing
19:54:50  <V453000> frosch123: I believe the industry mechanism of YETI is still quite similar ... it was always linear though :P
19:55:17  <V453000> but, YETI motivates the player to connect EVERY kind of cargo so much, that the non-linear approach isnt really necessary
19:55:48  <V453000> the 9 primaries alone are quite a lot already, considering the worker yards connected to them, not to mention secondaries :)
19:56:35  <V453000> interesting idea about having a starting-boost
19:59:09  <Alberth> hmm, electrified tram tracks with steam trams :p
19:59:12  <frosch123> V453000: sub-linear would give you more production when using multiple secondary (of same type)
19:59:18  <andythenorth> maybe INFIRS
19:59:21  <andythenorth> It’s Not FIRS
19:59:24  <frosch123> instead of one secondary per type

19:59:27  <V453000> I know frosch123, still considering it
19:59:42  <V453000> andythenorth: if you want to make a good working industry set, start with a scheme
19:59:54  <andythenorth> thanks
19:59:59  <andythenorth> I have never made one before
20:00:02  <andythenorth> it’s good advice
20:00:08  <frosch123> [20:56] <V453000> interesting idea about having a starting-boost <- i thought it was too realistic :p
20:00:22  <frosch123> catching transport economy with cheap starter conditions
20:00:25  <V453000> well the wtf is that in the start you have the weakest engines XD
20:00:26  <frosch123> and then turn the screw
20:01:04  <frosch123> V453000: oh, with "start" i meant the "start of industry being serviced", not "start of game"
20:01:18  <V453000> andythenorth: the scheme says everything systematic, precise production numbers etc can be done later, but scheme must go first as changing that later is hell - as you can see with FIRS now
20:01:20  <frosch123> so, also later in the game you would get a boost for servicing a new industries
20:01:27  <V453000> right
20:01:33  <V453000> still :D
20:02:25  <andythenorth> V453000: you think FIRS didn’t have a scheme originally?
20:02:37  <V453000> a bad one? :P

21:09:50  <jjavaholic> I laid oneway road thinking that would increase output and avoid break down stoppages
21:09:51  <Alberth> not much different from trains, have a vehicle loading all the time
21:11:07  <Alberth> if you use RVs from a newgrf, no, as those are articulated, and articulated RVs cannot take over
21:11:18  <Alberth> *overtake
21:11:43  <Alberth> better make more roads in parallel, so traffic gets distributed
21:12:20  <jjavaholic> I don't use any custom newgrfs
21:12:36  <jjavaholic> I'm not sure the vehicles are distributing at all
21:12:48  <jjavaholic> they all seem to be going down same road
21:12:55  <Alberth> at the stations, drive-through stations have better performance I  think
21:13:35  <Alberth> give vehicles choice of several lanes that are all about equally far away
21:14:09  <jjavaholic> is there a key  to doing that?
21:15:10  <Alberth> I tend to build a drive-through station of 3 tiles orthogonal on the incoming stream, which gets in the middle, so vehicles have to drive left or right for 1 tile, and turn to enter the station

21:19:19  <Alberth> the distance to all entries must be mostly equal, so RVs will pick the lane with the fewest other vehicles
