07:07:11  <andythenorth> Terkhen planetmaker ¿ so if I read the nml correctly....to get the correct climate-aware ground appearance, FIRS has a stack of ground sprite + 7 childsprites (with complex conditions)
07:07:28  <andythenorth> does that sound like the correct understanding?

08:28:19  * andythenorth isn't convinced about magically concatenating identifiers
08:28:33  <andythenorth> not everywhere anyway
08:28:51  <andythenorth> in some cases seems better to write them out by hand and use find / replace if they change
08:32:04  <planetmaker> andythenorth, yes, that's how I wrote that template: draw on ground and conditionally the correct one over it
08:32:14  <planetmaker> good morning
08:32:16  <andythenorth> it's pretty neat
08:39:59  <Terkhen> good morning
08:40:37  <Terkhen> andythenorth: I don't remember, can you point me to the file which contains that code?
08:40:57  <andythenorth> Terkhen: it's ok, planetmaker answered :)
08:40:59  <andythenorth> but it's in...
08:41:27  <andythenorth> sprites/nml/templates/spritelayouts_groundaware.pnml
08:41:33  <andythenorth> GROUND_AWARE_SPRITELAYOUT
08:43:23  <Terkhen> aah, yes, I remember it now :)
08:44:30  <Terkhen> I remembered something quite more complex, which probably was our original solution before that one :P
08:44:57  <andythenorth> yes
08:45:01  <andythenorth> this one looks pretty robust
08:45:13  * andythenorth wishes chameleon would spit a better error for a misclosed tag :P
08:47:32  <andythenorth> also
08:47:48  * andythenorth got tripped up again by "a single-entry tuple is a string in python" :P
08:48:09  <Alberth> ?
08:48:12  <andythenorth> always happens :P
08:48:24  <andythenorth> trying iterating over ('building_sprite')
08:48:32  <andythenorth> you get each char
08:48:57  <andythenorth> that's been confusing me every few months for about 7 years :P
08:49:03  <Alberth> sure, a parenthesized expression is just its value
08:49:23  <Alberth> a single-valued tuple is ('building_sprite',)
08:49:36  <Alberth> ie the , is what makes it a tuple
08:49:40  <andythenorth> k
08:49:42  <andythenorth> ta
08:49:45  <planetmaker> hallo Terkhen
08:50:32  * Alberth forgot the syntax of a zero-valued tuple :(
08:51:31  <Alberth> planetmaker: FYI: I consider nml_langcheck.py 'done' for now.
08:51:46  <andythenorth> hmm
08:51:56  * andythenorth now has tiles and layouts building with python for the grain mill
08:51:59  <andythenorth> not spritesets yet
08:52:07  <andythenorth> but maybe spritesets should be written out manually anyway
08:52:33  <Alberth> or derived from some name convention or so :)
08:52:52  <andythenorth> could do that
08:53:11  <andythenorth> generating them reduces manual work to add snow version
08:53:54  <andythenorth> no idea how I'm going to handle non-standard tiles yet (e.g. animated)
08:54:33  <Alberth> every tile is animated? :)

08:56:23  <andythenorth> Alberth: ho, every tile is animated probly works :P
08:57:25  <andythenorth> oh dear
08:57:41  <andythenorth> if I make the spriteset a class, then I'll have the number of realsprites and frames in scope
08:57:47  <andythenorth> so I can just write them into the layout
08:58:06  <andythenorth> it's like an OO foam party here
08:58:24  <andythenorth> should have done this a year ago, instead of moaning about CPP :P
08:58:57  <Alberth> moaning is generally unproductive :)
08:59:23  <Alberth> but it feels good :)
08:59:39  <andythenorth> it's just how I get things done
08:59:43  <andythenorth> moaning is like breathing :P

09:09:36  <planetmaker> "done" is good news, Alberth :-)
09:12:20  <Alberth> that remains to be seen, now the things I didn't do correctly will surface :p

09:17:17  * andythenorth has not yet looked at the slope aware layout
09:17:20  <andythenorth> nor fences :P
09:17:39  *** keoz [~keikoz@79.4.69.86.rev.sfr.net] has joined #openttd
09:18:20  <Alberth> one thing you may want to consider is a better nml primitive to do these things
09:21:13  <andythenorth> ?
09:21:59  <planetmaker> andythenorth, slope aware is simple, too... it's just calling the proper sprite as defined by the slope
09:22:10  <andythenorth> k
09:22:20  <planetmaker> sprite: spritesetname(slope_to_sprite);
09:22:33  <andythenorth> this is the python-ified equivalent of GROUND_AWARE_SPRITE_LAYOUT http://hg.openttdcoop.org/firs/raw/5500e8b5fca84cedf4008d861bed81c5707b9728/sprites/nml/templates/tile.pynml
09:22:36  <planetmaker> or similar, need to lookup the exact nml function for conversion of slope to sprite
09:23:11  <andythenorth> the template will tell me
09:23:41  <andythenorth> it's all pretty obvious in the source, or compiled nml
09:23:53  <andythenorth> so far this has been easy, all I need is motivation + not to be holding a child ;)
09:24:13  <planetmaker> Is there a reason to re-write the templates?
09:26:08  <planetmaker> from what I see there it's only a slight syntactic variation on the existing template?
09:26:45  <andythenorth> yes
09:27:12  <andythenorth> the resulting nml should be ~1:1 same
09:27:19  <Alberth> andythenorth:  you're extending nml for better handling of layout. Since this is a generic problem, chances are that others can benefit from your approach too. The better place for this extension is thus in nml itself.
09:28:04  <andythenorth> Alberth: write 1 first though to learn...
09:28:22  <Alberth> that's the usual approach :)
09:28:34  <andythenorth> also last time it was discussed, nml templating was 'parked, awaiting ideas / time'
09:29:02  <Alberth> templates and prmitives are not the same
09:29:09  <andythenorth> ah
09:29:18  * andythenorth is prepared to learn...
09:29:48  <Alberth> templates is about giving arbitrary constructs a name so you can re-use them (which is what is being done with CPP and m4 currently)
09:30:07  <Alberth> a primitive is an elementary language construct
09:30:25  <Alberth> ie the list of 'statements' supported by nml
09:30:29  <planetmaker> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/firs/repository/revisions/50e913715d9f <-- that is simpler?!
09:30:37  <planetmaker> splitting the layout definitions into three files?
09:30:49  <andythenorth> alberth so primitives != first class objects or so?
09:31:15  <andythenorth> planetmaker: one of those is generated
09:31:26  <planetmaker> generated... and in the repo?
09:31:35  <andythenorth> thought I removed it
09:31:48  <andythenorth> seems not
09:31:49  <planetmaker> maybe later
09:31:56  <planetmaker> it's not tip commit I linked
09:32:12  *** argoneus [~argoneus@ip-78-102-118-47.net.upcbroadband.cz] has joined #openttd
09:32:25  <andythenorth> yeah it's gone in tip ;)
09:32:50  * planetmaker finds the result A LOT more complicated
09:33:02  <Alberth> andythenorth: note sure, some primitives are first class objects, whether they all are would depend on the design of the primitive, I'd say
09:33:54  <Alberth> planetmaker: complexity is not an objective notion :p
09:33:59  <planetmaker> but possibly I don't yet understand it fully
09:34:14  <planetmaker> indeed, Alberth
09:35:02  <andythenorth> planetmaker: no you're correct, it is more complicated (complex?).  Each industry becomes a first class python object, with a template, which is definitely more complex, but also makes many things easier
09:35:13  <andythenorth> it's the same as FISH and BANDIT tbh
09:35:37  <planetmaker> what becomes easier?
09:35:55  <planetmaker> becomes? gets?
09:36:08  <andythenorth> templating, and economies
09:37:14  <andythenorth> we'll see
09:37:22  <andythenorth> it can always be reverted :P
09:38:24  <andythenorth> Alberth: so what primitives might be useful in this case?

09:39:45  <Alberth> I don't know, what are you missing?
09:40:10  <andythenorth> I don't know either :)
09:40:22  <planetmaker> solving an undefined problem?
09:40:27  <andythenorth> every time I work with nml, I want first class objects in scope
09:40:27  *** perk11 [~perk11@46.242.10.233] has joined #openttd
09:40:37  <andythenorth> I don't think nml should be providing that though
09:40:44  <planetmaker> why not?
09:40:48  <andythenorth> complicated?
09:41:35  *** pugi [~pugi@host-091-097-021-213.ewe-ip-backbone.de] has joined #openttd
09:41:40  <andythenorth> so in FISH and BANDIT I have vehicle objects, in FIRS there are industry, tile, layout and spriteset objects
09:41:45  *** Biolunar [mahdi@blfd-4d082bc7.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #openttd
09:42:03  <andythenorth> having objects means that templates can be simple, because they handle minimal logic
09:43:46  <planetmaker> andythenorth, would it then not make sense to provide these first-class objects in NML? similar like you can define them in c++ but not in c?
09:44:12  <andythenorth> perhaps
09:44:21  <andythenorth> I worry it imposes programming on non-programmers I guess
09:44:37  <planetmaker> writing a newgrf *is* programming, no?
09:44:47  <planetmaker> and... if they're not obligatory, people can just ignore it
09:44:55  <andythenorth> point
09:47:19  <andythenorth> http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/firs/repository/entry/sprites/nml/industries/grain_mill.py
09:47:34  <andythenorth> ^ there is code in there that will be moved out to a common module
09:47:49  <andythenorth> but it shows how I define the layouts, tiles, etc
09:50:09  <planetmaker> the top part I assume, the module definitions will be moved
09:50:48  <andythenorth> yup
09:50:54  <planetmaker> the top part I assume, the module definitions will be moved
09:50:57  <planetmaker> how does this template industries better, though? By deriving an industry objects from a parent object which defines the common things?
09:51:35  <andythenorth> I wonder if I just prefer the syntax
09:51:44  <andythenorth> I don't know why this is logically better
09:52:58  <andythenorth> I know that I wrote a CPP version of BANDIT, and got a kicking on this channel for doing things wrong, and it was no fun either
09:53:06  <andythenorth> just ugly code
09:54:13  <planetmaker> I simply cannot comment on this code :-P
09:54:17  <andythenorth> when I try and do CPP things I keep coming up against the limitations of a macro language, when I want a programming language to hand I think
09:55:29  <planetmaker> yes, sure, it's much more limited. It's not a programming language nor a full-fledged macro one
09:56:22  <V453000> I really dont want to see full firs code :D
09:57:55  <andythenorth> V453000: firs code is what it is, it works, it handles a lot of complicated cases
09:58:01  <andythenorth> but very few people want to work on it :(
09:58:08  <andythenorth> and I kind of can't
09:58:40  <V453000> perhaps you will be able to in the future again :)
09:58:41  <planetmaker> why can't you? The cpp templates too complicated?
09:58:47  <planetmaker> to opaque?
09:59:35  <andythenorth> it's just an ugly format CPP, mixing variadic macros with lots of parameters and ALLCAPS identified *into* nml which uses a similar format for params, and has ALLCAPS constants
09:59:37  <Alberth> I'd remove the 'layouts.append' magic
09:59:46  <andythenorth> Alberth: thought you might say that :)
09:59:53  <andythenorth> one rev does it explicitly by hand
10:00:00  <andythenorth> I thought I'd be clever and register them :P
10:00:28  <andythenorth> what would you do there?
10:00:28  <Alberth> I found that clever code tends to bite :)
10:00:44  <Alberth> do you need the layout_4 variable?
10:00:59  <andythenorth> "clever" is why the windmill tile has to be commented out :P
10:01:13  * planetmaker will stop the whining and just let andy do what he sees fit ;-)
10:01:14  *** valhallasw [~valhallas@s55978e11.adsl.online.nl] has joined #openttd
10:01:19  <andythenorth> layout_4 is the unfinished stuff
10:01:43  <Alberth> k, otherwise you could make a list directly
10:03:05  <Alberth> you could do 'layouts.append(layout_x)'  under the definition, or at the end construct a list explicitly
10:03:13  <Alberth> the former is easier to get right imho
10:03:59  <andythenorth> I had the latter, it looked like a maintenance headache
10:04:03  <andythenorth> I'll do the former
10:04:06  <andythenorth> less magic
10:04:10  <andythenorth> is good

10:16:22  <Alberth> why is 'tiles' a tuple in Layout?
10:19:58  <andythenorth> Alberth: do you mean 'why tuple not list' or 'why is it in layout'' ?
10:20:13  <Alberth> the former
10:20:16  <andythenorth> hmm
10:20:18  <andythenorth> no idea
10:20:26  <andythenorth> could be a list of tuples
10:20:29  <andythenorth> is that better form?
10:21:13  <Alberth> I see tuples as things with a fixed length, which is not the case here
10:21:31  <andythenorth> sounds fine
10:21:32  <Alberth> but maybe I am wrong :)
10:21:34  * andythenorth changes
10:21:54  <andythenorth> it makes more sense when a tuple has a predictable length, e.g. (x, y, filename) or such

10:32:20  <Alberth> oh, you leave out a triplet?
10:33:35  <Alberth> http://codepad.org/UasL0FAP
10:34:11  <andythenorth> Alberth: here's some raw nml http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8acLES00
10:35:41  <Alberth> that looks very much the same :p
10:36:34  <andythenorth> some tiles in the grid are empty
10:36:49  <andythenorth> the - does that of course in your version
10:38:00  <andythenorth> tbh, when coding an industry there is a lot counting from n tile (usually by point at it with my finger with the game on the screen) :P
10:38:09  <andythenorth> having the offsets from N tile is very handy at that point
10:38:16  <andythenorth> although I do appreciate the suggestion ;)
10:38:38  <Alberth> offset of N tile?
10:39:01  <andythenorth> industry layout is defined relative to the north-most tile in the layout
10:39:20  <andythenorth>  the 0, 1 are offsets in south-east / south-west directions
10:39:34  * Alberth nods
10:39:50  <andythenorth> and I'm very used to reading columns of offsets
10:40:02  <andythenorth> I can kind of parse them now without thinking too much
10:40:04  <andythenorth> ymmv :)
10:40:07  <Alberth> ah :)
10:40:18  <Alberth> you want a 2d layout :p
10:40:30  <andythenorth> yes
10:40:44  <andythenorth> ugh
10:40:51  * andythenorth envisages some horrible matrix :)
10:41:07  <andythenorth> maybe I should draw them in a png
10:41:11  <andythenorth> and have PIL figure it out

10:53:54  <andythenorth> honestly, xml might have a place in FIRS in future :P
10:54:09  <andythenorth> although also...perhaps not ;)
11:00:23  <Alberth> I only use xml because I am too lazy to write a proper parser :)

11:04:56  <LordAro> afternoon all
11:05:33  <LordAro> planetmaker/Rubidium: apparently my last message to you was cut off: "thanks for your help!"
11:05:34  <LordAro> :D
11:07:24  <LordAro> here's what i've been doing with my time: https://bitbucket.org/LordAro/extractdrs
11:09:18  *** roadt [~roadt@60.168.84.124] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
11:13:55  <LordAro> "23:02:31 < Kjetil> why doesn't the file specification you mention use stdint-types ?" <-- it probably does, but according to the spec i'm following, it does, so that's what i was using :L
11:21:13  <andythenorth> Alberth: currently I'm passing explicit ids (strings) to classes
11:21:21  <andythenorth> this is the best way to do it with python, right?
11:22:42  <Alberth> python prefers explicit (and so do I)
11:23:07  <Alberth> assuming you need the id somewhere of course :p
11:23:18  <andythenorth> I do
11:24:27  <andythenorth> so I've templated the simple cases for spriteset, tiles, layouts
11:24:32  <andythenorth> now I have to figure animation :P
11:27:00  <Alberth> LordAro: hi,  one quick comment   dirFile and hFile have inconsistent code style, it seems
11:28:07  <LordAro> Alberth: hai :)
11:28:39  <LordAro> i realise tis, i've basically just hacked it all together so it's functional, other than that, who knows :)
11:30:47  <andythenorth> ah
11:30:58  <andythenorth> what are the performance implications if I make every tile animated?
11:31:01  <andythenorth> (industry tile)
11:31:10  <andythenorth> most will only have one frame
11:32:25  <Alberth> make a special case in the code generator?
11:32:33  <andythenorth> could do
11:32:41  <andythenorth> not animated, animated
11:32:59  <andythenorth> or just don't enable animation on the tile
11:33:05  * andythenorth has some digging in code to do :P
11:36:02  <andythenorth> wrt zextent, how accurately does it need to be provided?
11:36:20  <andythenorth> if there are multiple building sprites in a layout, can they all use same zextent?
11:47:56  <andythenorth> if a building changes size (animated for example), zextent needs to change too?
11:48:10  <andythenorth> or is it 'meh'?
11:48:45  <Alberth> I have no idea at all about zextent
11:50:08  <andythenorth> me neither :P
11:50:59  <Alberth> now I am worried :p
11:52:06  <andythenorth> I never had any idea in nfo FIRS either
11:53:23  <andythenorth> I'll make an assumption and deal with consequences later :P

11:57:08  <andythenorth> bonour Yexo and quak
11:57:34  <Yexo> andythenorth: as with all other variables that deal with bounding boxes: if the bounding box becomes too small it can cause glitches, I think it should never extend over tile borders but the smaller the better for performance
11:57:42  <frosch123> afternoon Alberth, andythenorth, Yexo :)
11:57:54  <Yexo> theoretically at least, I'm not sure it means much as long as you use reasonable values
11:58:14  <andythenorth> we have values already for FIRS, I'm just trying to figure how specific it should be
11:58:22  <andythenorth> if I can define it per spriteset (to largest sprite in set)
11:58:26  <andythenorth> or if it needs to be more fine-grained
11:58:34  <Yexo> can be per spriteset
11:58:49  <andythenorth>  seems the tile layout only has one definition for it, ignoring animated frames that might change size :P
11:58:55  * andythenorth does per spriteset
11:59:56  <andythenorth> why is the default result for indsutry layouts a tile ID?
12:00:04  <andythenorth> nvm

12:13:55  <fonsinchen> TrueBrain: Thanks for fixing the Windows build problem. Unfortunately the Cargodist build is still not working so well. See http://farm.openttd.org/browse/OTTD3PT-CD-PUB-52/log
12:14:22  <fonsinchen> It seems to have problems creating some directories needed for publishing and then nothing is published.
12:14:49  <TrueBrain> I fixed something?
12:14:50  <TrueBrain> wuth?
12:14:55  <fonsinchen> For some reason it still marks "publishing" green.
12:15:09  <fonsinchen> Build #52 succeeded for some magic reason.
12:15:17  <fonsinchen> #51 failed
12:15:24  <fonsinchen> I wrote an email about that.
12:15:48  <fonsinchen> to info@openttd.org . People were telling me that would reach the right person ...
12:16:00  <TrueBrain> it does; but it is not always me ;)
12:16:14  <fonsinchen> I mean #52 seemed to succeed, but didn't actually publish.
12:16:28  <TrueBrain> the publish seems to fail on upload to openttdcoop
12:18:08  <fonsinchen> What is that publish.sh doing there? It seems it fails on creating a directory /home/openttd . Is that by ssh on openttdcoop?
12:18:56  <TrueBrain> the coop server made some changes in the way they want to receive files
12:19:00  <TrueBrain> for what ever reason
12:19:05  <TrueBrain> and that is giving issues
12:19:19  <fonsinchen> can I do anything about that?
12:20:49  <TrueBrain> started a new build
12:20:54  <TrueBrain> sadly, it has to do everything again ..
12:20:56  <TrueBrain> we will see
12:21:52  <fonsinchen> thanks
12:22:24  <TrueBrain> ah, I get why it goes wrong
12:22:26  <TrueBrain> lolz
12:22:42  <TrueBrain> how do you set the port for scp ...
12:22:46  <TrueBrain> -P, lolz
12:22:50  *** Ammler [~ammler@101.haydn.openttdcoop.org] has joined #openttd
12:23:26  <Ammler> the ssh port of bundles.openttdcoop.org changed to 10222, that should be about all changes
12:23:43  <TrueBrain> I am well aware, thank you :P
12:23:47  <TrueBrain> but non-default ports are a bitch
12:24:07  <TrueBrain> there is  no universal syntax
12:24:13  <TrueBrain> like host:port:/dir or what-ever
12:24:23  <Ammler> edit .ssh/config ?
12:24:23  <Yexo> to avoid any confusion: I relayed the problems above to Ammler. TrueBrain found the problem just before Ammler entered here
12:24:26  <TrueBrain> you have to add -p -P .....
12:26:39  <TrueBrain> Ammler: I am not a big fan of hiding configuration in system-wide files .. makes it rather hard to move anything if it is ever needed
12:28:03  <V453000> Pikka and people around him working on UKRS2: I really like where the set is progressing :) well done
12:28:45  <andythenorth> nml is a beautiful thing
12:29:15  <Ammler> pikka does nml too now?
12:29:49  <andythenorth> no
12:29:53  <Ammler> ro do you just make generic comments about how nice the world is? :-P
12:30:04  <andythenorth> I am in the nml docs
12:30:24  <andythenorth> conveniently spritesets are zero-indexed
12:30:28  <andythenorth> which makes for nicer code
12:30:32  <V453000> UKRS2 is not in NML?
12:30:48  <andythenorth> no
12:30:53  <andythenorth> pikka is firmly attached to nfo
12:31:03  <V453000> :) if it works for him

12:31:18  <andythenorth> he has a build script
12:31:27  <andythenorth> it's a batch file or something iirc
12:31:40  <andythenorth> what happens in nml if I use animation_frame in a spriteset reference, but tile has no animation?
12:31:44  <andythenorth> do I get 0?
12:31:46  <Yexo> yes
12:31:49  <andythenorth> [0 would be useful]
12:31:54  <andythenorth> awesome
12:32:21  <Yexo> animation_frame is 0 by default until it's changed by openttd due to animation properties or by an animation callback
12:32:32  <Ammler> TrueBrain: would ipv6 with default port be better?
12:32:50  <Yexo> so it's possible to set animation_frame to 10 and after that disable animation, you'll get 10 as value in that case
12:33:04  <Ammler> still looking for a reason to finally setup ipv6 :-P
12:33:27  <TrueBrain> it should be fixed this way, so I dont care anymore :P
12:33:34  <andythenorth> Yexo: ¿ so I could control construction stages that way too (theoretical question, as none are drawn, nor do I plan to)
12:33:46  <Yexo> yes, you could
12:33:50  <andythenorth> great
12:33:54  <andythenorth> this is very neat
12:41:38  <TrueBrain> right, it should be published now
12:46:28  <TrueBrain> fixed the warning too
12:46:35  <TrueBrain> fonsinchen: can you confirm all went okay now?

12:57:34  <andythenorth> Yexo: I assume floating point maths isn't supported with animation_rate?
12:57:40  <andythenorth> e.g. 0.5 * animation_rate?
12:57:44  <andythenorth> animation_frame /s
12:57:57  <Yexo> floating point is nowhere supported by newgrfs
12:58:06  <andythenorth> standard
12:58:08  <andythenorth> thanks
12:58:10  <Yexo> animation_rate / 2 will work though, it just rounds to an integer
12:58:19  <Yexo> s/rounds/floors/
12:58:48  <andythenorth> k
12:59:08  <andythenorth> maybe I should rename my python animation_rate variable to avoid confusion

16:10:38  <planetmaker> there's no point to watch something live where you know exactly what happens 100%
16:11:33  <LordAro> is a German lecturing an English person on their English skills again? (not sure)
16:25:45  <andythenorth> hmm
16:26:30  <andythenorth> if the graphics chain switch for industry layouts (relative tile position) is templated....
16:26:40  <andythenorth> ...I can probably template the layout definitions as well right?
16:28:54  <planetmaker> LordAro, if you meant me: no, I didn't try. But surely they'll just broadcast anything happening live. And tbh, there's no real harm in that. We're not in US free-TV here. Luckily
16:29:41  <TyrHeimdal> IF something goes wrong after he jumps...there won't be anything to see

17:03:37  <andythenorth> Yexo planetmaker: FIRS grain mill has 6 layouts, but the graphics switch only handles 4 of them
17:03:47  <andythenorth> and nothing looks broken in game (it has been this way for months at least)
17:03:51  <andythenorth> which is intriguing
17:04:47  <andythenorth> ah
17:05:03  <andythenorth> 2 layouts are repeated, probably to minimise savegame breakage

20:34:07  * andythenorth runs out of things to template
20:41:59  <dada_> hm, that's weird. I noticed some of my trains were 100 years old. turns out they could not find the route to the depot (even though it's very close by and properly connected to the tracks). when I changed one path signal to a presignal they suddenly did find the depot.
20:45:06  <Rubidium> path signals are by default red and thus have a much higher pathfinder penalty than normal signals. Coupled with the fact that trains will only go to a depot when they are at most a certain amount of pathfinder penalty away from the depot
20:45:18  <Rubidium> this will cause the effect you're seeing
20:46:29  <Rubidium> there might be a setting for the amount of pathfinder penalty. Another solution is using service orders
