00:00:24  <Flygon> Oahu?
00:01:52  <Samu> so here's my paint-shop work on river tiles: https://rupavq.dm2304.livefilestore.com/y2pE5dcRaT6gvEfs9_ccqA9tn3mKMeZibX3SqbXMCiQZv2xLnQzVGpq6hRg0dF-vCAv4dCUdn8obsSebPZFQfwVLHq5oVUqvVCxziNHaNkT-73X0nFP-QQuDAMCLsci3RRiZDlAKxlYWno5iVtXiGA4gg/Dried%20river%20paint-shopped.png?psid=1
00:02:07  <Samu> I hope it's clear enough what I was trying to explain
00:03:16  <Samu> if a player destroys a river tile, it's simply turning it into a dried river tile, per that explanation
00:03:58  <supermop> hawaiian island which contains Honolulu, Waikiki, Pearl Harbour
00:04:22  <supermop> has the most interesting geography/topography in my opinion
00:04:57  <supermop> Although This map is using finnish town names, temperate climate, and swiss trains
00:05:39  *** Myhorta [~Myhorta@00018fad.user.oftc.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
00:05:46  <supermop> and i've put rivers in the valleys on the west side of the island which in real life is currently fairly dry for the past thousand years or so
00:06:14  <supermop> as all the wind and rain comes from the east and is trapped by high mountains
00:07:09  <supermop> i can't remember which firs economy this one has in it

00:10:58  <Samu> since there's lakes that aren't connected to water tiles, a player could simply dry an entire lake by clearing the tiles all in one go
00:11:19  <supermop> yep
00:11:39  <supermop> i can also dry a real lake by filling it with dirt
00:11:54  <supermop> or digging drainage trenches away from it
00:11:56  <Samu> ew... I tried to explain things as best I could
00:12:33  <Samu> a player could build rains or road, whatever, on top of dried river tiles
00:12:36  <Samu> rails*

07:20:03  <andythenorth> o/
07:22:35  <Supercheese> beans
07:24:12  <V453000> nuts
07:28:10  <andythenorth> don’t have nuts yet
07:28:18  <andythenorth> maybe in some economy
07:28:22  <andythenorth> thought of olives
07:28:23  <andythenorth> also wine
07:28:25  <andythenorth> and rice
07:31:54  <andythenorth> hrm
07:32:27  <SpComb> employed professional squirrels
07:34:26  <V453000> my unirail is looking fabulous as fuck
07:35:19  <V453000> should include unicorns
07:38:34  <andythenorth> no pictures, didn’t happen
07:40:21  <V453000> iz renduring
07:40:32  <V453000> on hang you
07:40:35  <planetmaker> moin
07:40:37  <V453000> hi
07:42:39  <V453000> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20419525/RAWR/A_0029.png
07:43:02  <SpComb> I wouldn't want to ride those curves
07:43:08  <SpComb> the unicorns would fall off the tracks
07:43:38  <V453000> mhm :)
07:45:09  <V453000> PS just after I set up the infrastructure yesterday, I suddenly realized I could make tunnels properly SO easily
07:45:10  <V453000> xd
07:45:24  <V453000> redoredoredo
07:50:20  <V453000> I remain amazed at how much forum people shit on rawr though XD
07:54:45  <andythenorth> :9
07:54:46  <andythenorth> :(
07:55:07  <andythenorth> V453000: road crossings for monorail? o_O
07:55:24  <andythenorth> SpComb: unicorns can turn instantly
07:57:16  <V453000> sure
07:57:27  <V453000> road crossings for everything :) dont have roads yet though
07:57:33  <V453000> but roads will be quick stuff
08:00:46  <V453000> also, disallowing road crossings is just a stupid feature, if someone doesnt want to build them, nobody is forcing them
08:03:56  <Supercheese> Hmm, off
08:03:57  <Supercheese> odd*
08:04:15  <Supercheese> OTTD isn't properly grabbing the genetive forms of FIRS cargoes & industries
08:04:18  <andythenorth> so I need another industry and cargo for Tropic Basic
08:04:18  <andythenorth> file:///Users/andy/Documents/OTTD_graphics/FIRS/firs_build/docs/html/economies.html
08:04:23  <andythenorth> oops that wn’t work
08:04:34  <andythenorth> http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/firs/push/LATEST/docs/html/economies.html#BASIC_TROPIC
08:04:55  <andythenorth> thinking about Vehicle Factory and adding Vehicle Parts cargo
08:05:29  <Supercheese> with cars that run on alcohol
08:05:48  <andythenorth> well yes
08:05:50  <andythenorth> exactly
08:05:57  <andythenorth> except petrol
08:05:59  <Supercheese> I think those are popular in, like, Brazil
08:06:10  <andythenorth> sugar refinery produces petrol...
08:06:13  <andythenorth> in that economy
08:06:25  <Supercheese> ah
08:06:28  <andythenorth> been looking at Brazil and Argentina for realisms
08:06:44  <andythenorth> they have a lot of agriculture, and quite a lot of secondary industry
08:06:51  <andythenorth> vehicles, planes, electronics etc
08:07:51  * andythenorth has talked self into it
08:08:06  <supermop> is it right that "many rivers" in SE on tropic generates zero rivers?
08:08:43  <V453000> make a scheme. :)
08:08:53  <V453000> see in the chart what goes where and which links you need for good system
08:08:56  <V453000> realisms wont help
08:09:05  <V453000> you will end exactly where you are now :P
08:09:28  <Supercheese> now it works just fine... that was odd
08:09:40  <Supercheese> perhaps I am simply going mad
08:09:43  <andythenorth> V453000: charts are bollocks :)
08:09:48  <andythenorth> make the chart in your head
08:10:06  <V453000> no system = bad newgrf :P
08:10:18  <andythenorth> system is boring
08:10:28  <V453000> does not have to be :)
08:10:30  <andythenorth> honestly, I just don’t have that systematic thinking
08:10:36  <andythenorth> I can’t do it
08:11:04  <V453000> :(
08:11:13  <andythenorth> also systems have stupid rules
08:11:24  <andythenorth> like ‘there cannot be off-map industries like ports’.  wrong
08:11:24  *** Yotson [~Yotson@2001:980:6ac8:1:846e:11d4:dd61:7fa6] has joined #openttd
08:11:40  <andythenorth> and ‘you can never create a direct feedback of delivery:supplies for boost’.  wrong
08:11:47  <V453000> not really that doesnt have to be a system criteria :)
08:12:11  <V453000> you just need to make every part of the set useful
08:13:01  <andythenorth> also, every design is a system of some sort
08:13:08  <andythenorth> so how do you know which systems are good or bad?
08:13:12  <andythenorth> just having a system isn’t enough
08:13:38  <V453000> you look and ask yourself e.g. is it possible to start with farms, and grow them nicely on their own?
08:14:00  <V453000> OR, you look into the systematic chart and see if any parts have too many/no connections going to them :P
08:14:25  *** Supercheese [~Superchee@cpe-76-178-136-186.natnow.res.rr.com] has left #openttd []
08:14:33  *** Supercheese [~Superchee@cpe-76-178-136-186.natnow.res.rr.com] has joined #openttd
08:14:36  <Supercheese> whoops
08:14:37  <andythenorth> so .e.g. should farms be able to grow on their own, or not?  Which is the good answer?
08:14:49  <V453000> none, you need to see what other chains do :P
08:15:03  <V453000> if other chains are able to grow themselves, then farms should as well, OR they must have a MASSIVE advantage in some other regard
08:15:19  <Supercheese> well, they do grow crops, but does their crop growing growth rate grow or does it just grow at a constant growth rate...
08:15:19  <V453000> some downsides, some bright sides
08:15:36  <V453000> constant unless given supplies from other chains
08:15:44  <V453000> ignoring biorefinery from 2000+
08:16:00  <Supercheese> or just growing without growing growing
08:16:17  <andythenorth> I just broke the farm chain in Full FIRS, I’m playing a game, it’s much better
08:18:15  <andythenorth> some chains are still lame, pointless and boring
08:18:22  <andythenorth> but there’s no dominant chain any more
08:18:32  <V453000> should there be a dominant chain?
08:18:44  <V453000> still, pointless and boring doesnt sound great :P
08:19:04  <andythenorth> I hate the dominant chain thing.  That bugs you too, no?
08:19:18  <andythenorth> oil or metal, depending on your map
08:19:19  <V453000> quite
08:19:20  <andythenorth> meh
08:19:37  <andythenorth> and then ENSP just gives you
.EVEN MOAR OIL AND METAL
08:19:54  <andythenorth> so 4 track mainlines for iron ore everywhere, and farms aren’t worth bothering with
08:19:59  <andythenorth> boring
08:20:25  <andythenorth> 56 industries, and you only need 7 of them
08:20:26  <V453000> yes that is basically what everybody is doing
08:24:22  <andythenorth> V453000: so what is system in YETI?
08:24:35  <andythenorth> I don’t mean flow chart, I’ve seen that on wiki somewhere ;)
08:24:46  <andythenorth> what are the design principles?
08:25:05  <V453000> 1. there is one huge mechanism of supplying
08:25:12  <V453000> 2. every industry contributes to the mechanism somehow
08:25:26  <V453000> 3. the more industry kinds you connect, the more efficient your mechanism will be
08:25:43  <andythenorth> see, that makes sense
08:25:44  <V453000> 4. every chain is self-sufficient, just not efficiently
08:25:58  <V453000> 4. means you can start with anything you like
08:26:00  <V453000> -> variety
08:26:13  <andythenorth> ok
08:26:21  <andythenorth> so Iron Horse, Road Hog etc have principles
08:26:26  <andythenorth> 1. no boring choices
08:26:44  <andythenorth> 2. but some choices are good
08:27:02  <andythenorth> 3. inspired by realism, but gameplay first w.r.t stats, dates etc
08:27:07  <andythenorth> end of
08:27:13  <andythenorth> FIRS has no principles
08:27:30  <andythenorth> just a giant blob of cargos and industries
08:27:43  <V453000> well the idea of supplies is nice but it could be refined :P
08:28:11  <andythenorth> FIRS is just this http://www.thedancelady.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/20140313_115725.jpg
08:28:28  <V453000> omg XD
08:29:12  <andythenorth> FIRS had some principles originally
08:29:30  <andythenorth> 1. provides reason to put off-road vehicles into HEQS, and supply ships into FISH
08:29:46  <andythenorth> 2. has many more chains than default ttd
08:29:53  <V453000> 1. not exactly, dudes often do it with trains :P
08:29:59  <andythenorth> 3. does not include annoying behaviours from other known industry sets
08:30:03  <V453000> 2. undoubtedly :D
08:30:14  <V453000> 3. is great fun compared to other shit
08:30:15  <andythenorth> 3. caused a lot of behaviour to be designed as ‘is not like xyz’
08:31:20  <andythenorth> none of those principles are interesting or good
08:31:43  <V453000> many people with lesser knowledge still play firs? :P
08:34:02  <andythenorth> I still play FIRS :P
08:34:04  <andythenorth> even
08:34:17  <V453000> isnt that enough? :)
08:35:14  <andythenorth> nah, needs new principles
08:35:36  <andythenorth> otherwise just goes round in circles or such
08:36:38  <planetmaker> andythenorth, the principle of FIRS is excellent. If it needs another one, it might well be another set :)
08:36:52  <andythenorth> planetmaker: the principles 1-3 above?
08:36:55  <andythenorth> or some other?
08:37:06  <planetmaker> well :)
08:37:25  <V453000> yeah why not make a new set and let FIRS live :D
08:37:46  <planetmaker> I mostly talk of how "playing with it feels"
08:37:56  <planetmaker> to me it seems quite well-balanced
08:39:42  <andythenorth> V453000: FIRS 2.0.0 is somewhere in the future, not right now, but opportunity to change things
08:40:15  <andythenorth> FIRS 1.x.x I’m not changing the supplies mechanics or production or anything, just tweaking economies
08:40:18  <andythenorth> and sprites
08:40:33  <V453000> it doesnt even need to be firs 2.0 :P
08:40:38  <V453000> something completely different
08:40:50  <V453000> not to carry any old feature wtf with you
08:40:51  <andythenorth> apparently brand awareness is important :P
08:40:54  <andythenorth> but eh
08:41:02  <V453000> for one, I would say the production callback produce_256 is way superior :P
08:41:24  <andythenorth> for?
08:41:25  <V453000> you are the brand, people are very aware which newGRFs are from you :)
08:41:28  <V453000> for everything
08:41:41  <andythenorth> instead of on delivery?
08:41:43  <V453000> a TON of control over how much you are producing
08:42:06  <V453000> see how YETI works, no production_multiplier shizzle
08:42:15  <V453000> delivered amount -> produced amount
08:42:17  <V453000> always
08:42:31  <V453000> sure, primaries can be a bit different
08:42:43  <V453000> but the dynamic thing when they can change production is nice
08:43:00  * andythenorth wonders what FIRS is using
08:43:16  <V453000> the production multipliers probably
08:43:35  <andythenorth> nah
08:43:37  <V453000> if supplies delivered in month whatever, set multiplier of production to XY
08:43:40  <V453000> no?
08:43:44  <andythenorth> primaries are on 256
08:44:16  <andythenorth> my plan was to change that
08:44:26  <andythenorth> so that they used production multiplier correctly
08:44:30  <andythenorth> so GS could control them
08:44:57  <andythenorth> but I never did it, because I don’t understand current code
08:45:02  <andythenorth> and also, is it good?
08:45:19  <V453000> idk, to me 3 production stages just sounds not enough
08:45:38  <andythenorth> you mean the boost options?
08:45:41  <V453000> especially if I reach the third after 2 years of playing
08:45:42  <andythenorth> they suck currently
08:45:48  <V453000> needs moar depth
08:45:53  * andythenorth is not understanding :)
08:48:46  <andythenorth> V453000 you mean the FIRS boosts, or the standard prod. multiplier behaviour?
08:49:31  <V453000> FIRS boosts
08:49:37  <V453000> you get normal-extra-gungho
08:49:43  <V453000> needs moar stages
08:50:15  <V453000> and the player should need to care over the industries for longer time in order to get to the highest stages imo
08:50:29  <andythenorth> I dunno
08:50:35  <andythenorth> I am thinking that might be a valid parameter
08:50:47  <andythenorth> if you play NCG or SV, especially in multiplayer competitive
08:50:52  <andythenorth> then you just want max boost fast
08:51:03  <V453000> meeh
08:51:07  <V453000> short term players :)
08:51:14  <andythenorth> I have played almost-sandbox games, and quadruple is stupid
08:51:30  <andythenorth> when you just want to build vehicles and watch them, then quadruple is a PITA
08:51:30  <V453000> but yeah at least having it parametrized would be nice:P
08:51:44  <V453000> quadruple is quite low still, very manageable
08:51:47  <andythenorth> quadruple means cloning shitloads of vehicles
08:51:54  <andythenorth> but if your supply fails, then you have massive jams
08:51:56  <andythenorth> not relaxing
08:51:58  <V453000> esp compared to what YETI does to you once you connect at least 2 chains :P
08:52:07  <andythenorth> I know in coop games, supply never fails :P
08:52:12  <andythenorth> and train jams are unheard of
08:52:16  <andythenorth> but still, it’s work
08:52:19  <V453000> if you do it right. :)
08:53:08  <andythenorth> I think whatever new FIRS is, it needs supplies thought about a lot
08:54:24  <V453000> cant do anything wrong with thinking about stuff :P
08:54:44  <andythenorth> fuck thinking about it
08:54:49  <andythenorth> needs new ideas coding and testing
08:55:06  <andythenorth> so you’d want something like
Current Production Level: Epic
08:55:09  <andythenorth> >?
08:55:33  <V453000> well the max could raise slightly, but would have to become harder to reach, much harder to reach
08:55:42  <V453000> but I would like to see e.g. 10 stages of production instead of 3
08:56:13  <Supercheese> Current Production Level: >9,000
08:56:13  <andythenorth> and what, quite fragile, like current supplies (miss a few months and you’re back on normal), or more robust?
08:56:53  <V453000> there it gets more various
08:57:08  <V453000> you could keep delivered in month Y -> give output, delivered amount was X -> give amount
08:57:11  <V453000> buuut
08:57:22  <V453000> you could have some form of delivered supplies getting instantly processed
08:57:43  <V453000> but yeah then it becomes Yeti :)
08:59:41  <andythenorth> yeah, not that
08:59:49  <andythenorth> I don’t want in:out for primaries
09:00:09  <andythenorth> that’s better done elsewhere
09:00:26  <andythenorth> hmm
09:00:31  <andythenorth> stockpiling
09:00:38  <andythenorth> and acceptance refusal
09:00:43  <andythenorth> are both awesome no?
09:01:19  <V453000> no XD
09:03:06  <V453000> http://www.tt-forums.net/download/file.php?id=183062
09:03:24  <V453000> there are some not so great things like missing shadows on the overlay sprites, but other than that.. :)
09:03:57  <V453000> could be worse
09:04:14  <V453000> needs moar specular on the track though
09:06:19  <andythenorth> fundations are nice
09:06:34  * andythenorth -> shower, work etc
09:06:43  <andythenorth> stockpiling in FIRS
09:06:45  <andythenorth> probably
09:07:05  *** kais58 is now known as kais58|AFK
09:07:07  <andythenorth> then one station can cover multiple industries, super-useful feature, no more feeders
09:07:16  <V453000> omfg
09:07:19  <V453000> that is totally not a good idea
09:07:33  <V453000> I mean, noobs will love it but that is really, really bad
09:07:42  <andythenorth> they won’t love it :P
09:07:52  <andythenorth> “why did my industry stop accepting"
09:08:05  <andythenorth> “because the game can’t deliver to multiple industries from one station"
09:08:08  <andythenorth> “wtf"
09:08:18  <V453000> well sure but they can build LESS to get the same result
09:08:22  <V453000> lazy -> will love
09:08:26  <andythenorth> nah
09:08:46  <andythenorth> it only works for the case where you have multiple industry accepting same cargo for one station
09:08:50  <andythenorth> which is not that common
09:08:56  <andythenorth> it fricking sucks for the common case
09:09:15  <andythenorth> lazy -> will have to deliver their cargo elsewhere
09:09:19  <V453000> station walk ftw sure
09:09:30  <andythenorth> nah, have to learn conditional orders
09:09:35  <andythenorth> which are impossible for actual humans to use
09:09:44  <V453000> xd
09:09:54  <andythenorth> what is the point of conditional orders?
09:10:11  <V453000> amazing things you can do
09:10:14  <V453000> esp in city networks
09:10:18  <V453000> also in refit networks
09:10:33  <V453000> also in any place where you want to do some check :>
09:10:40  *** Pereba [~UserNick@179.180.215.60] has joined #openttd
09:11:02  <andythenorth> idk
09:11:17  <andythenorth> it just seems to be a very odd solution to ‘load some number < 100%'
09:11:23  <andythenorth> instead of providing ‘load 50%'
09:11:42  <andythenorth> send trains in a circle to other stations, checking the loaded amount each time
09:11:54  <V453000> when full, go drop :)
09:12:08  <V453000> go to every station in a city, go unload passengers when full :)
09:12:11  <V453000> great usefulness
09:12:16  <andythenorth> seems to be under the ‘gameplay should not be fun, it’s supposed to be serious work’ school of thinking
09:12:21  <andythenorth> which pops up here sometimes
09:12:24  <V453000> skip a loop in refit orders when train is empty and ahs no point to continue
09:12:36  <V453000> not really
09:12:45  <V453000> just allows for more complicated things, that is all
09:12:53  *** zeknurn [~sup@hd9483b0c.seveveb.dyn.perspektivbredband.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
09:13:18  <V453000> you are asking for a feature which would add something new, but altering conditional orders would probably disable them from being able to do what they do now, which is good
09:13:27  <V453000> you dont want to alter conditional orders, you want something new :)
09:13:35  *** zeknurn [~sup@hd9483b0c.seveveb.dyn.perspektivbredband.net] has joined #openttd
09:14:57  <andythenorth> no argument
09:15:13  <andythenorth> I’m just perplexed why conditional orders were seen as best solution to partial loading
09:15:41  <V453000> is partial loading useful for anything?
09:15:47  <V453000> you want partial unloading mainly, I assume
09:15:51  <andythenorth> :o
09:15:55  <andythenorth> that would be awesome too
09:16:07  <andythenorth> also timetables are apparently the solution to partial loading
09:16:11  <andythenorth> but timetables don’t work
09:16:35  <andythenorth> partial loading is for cases like, this ship won’t make money with < 30% loaded
09:17:17  <V453000> that doesnt make sense
09:17:32  <V453000> why would you then make the ship load e.g. 60%
09:17:37  <V453000> while you could load 100%
09:17:52  <andythenorth> yes
09:17:55  <andythenorth> exactly
09:18:08  <andythenorth> you set a partial load %
09:18:11  <andythenorth> to handle that case
09:18:12  <V453000> -> when would you want to load only e.g. 30%?
09:18:15  <V453000> no, why? :D
09:18:18  <V453000> what would that help
09:18:28  <andythenorth> because at < 30% you don’t make money? o_O
09:18:30  <V453000> you can just get a smaller capacity vehicle
09:18:38  <V453000> sure, but the ship is loading 100%
09:18:49  <andythenorth> disproportionate supply at one end of the route?
09:18:55  <V453000> xd
09:18:56  <andythenorth> large town > small town
09:19:14  <andythenorth> industry with varying production
09:19:15  <andythenorth> etc
09:19:17  <V453000> then nothing will help
09:19:26  <V453000> if you set any requirement to the smaller town it can always be bad
09:19:28  <andythenorth> well the current solutions are:
09:19:33  <V453000> just loading whatever is there currently is best
09:19:33  <andythenorth> - run the vehicle empty a lot of the time
09:19:45  <V453000> because there isnt anything extra? :P
09:19:51  <andythenorth> - weird conditional orders with stations that are literally just there so some code can run
09:19:57  <andythenorth> - timetables, which don’t work
09:20:37  <andythenorth> currently I choose timetables
09:20:39  <andythenorth> but they suck so much
09:21:05  <V453000> you dont need to solve the situation XD
09:21:10  <V453000> just full load a t the bigger town and done
09:21:24  <V453000> load anything at the smaller town, you pick up everything at both ends
09:21:36  <V453000> sure, the smaller town will have poor ratings because stuff arrives less
09:21:42  <V453000> can be fixed with a transfer station
09:21:54  <V453000> which is also nicer when the town grows real big
09:22:51  <andythenorth> you could be right
09:23:10  <andythenorth> could be one of those features that is wanted, and turns out to be useless
09:23:27  <andythenorth> does this also mean I can stop using timetables, which are broken?
09:23:44  <V453000> yes? :D
09:23:55  <V453000> perhaps you are trying to fix a nonexistent issue
09:24:04  <V453000> you can easily make both towns satisfied
09:27:23  <andythenorth> problem isn’t town satisfaction :)
09:27:26  <andythenorth> it’s vehicle profit
09:27:31  <andythenorth> but maybe that’s a non issue
09:27:36  <andythenorth> over-optimising the wrong thing
09:27:39  <andythenorth> anyway, gtg
09:27:46  <andythenorth> fun chat

19:55:01  <Alberth> all over the map, I suppose?
19:57:35  <frosch123> does it consider the areas you already service? or does it result in a lot of disconnected single lines?
20:00:00  <andythenorth> this is 40 years in https://dev.openttdcoop.org/attachments/download/7027/BB_game.png
20:00:14  <andythenorth> cargo flow chart is probably best explanation for network style :)
20:00:55  <andythenorth> everything there is prompted originally by BB, then making supporting connections
20:00:55  <frosch123> looks like ships+rv+aircraft :p no trains
20:01:00  <andythenorth> nearly all trains
20:01:05  <andythenorth> no aircraft
20:01:25  <andythenorth> 98 trains
20:01:29  <andythenorth> 86 RVs
20:01:33  <andythenorth> 108 ships
20:01:41  <andythenorth> so not nearly all trains :P
20:01:44  * andythenorth wrong
20:03:38  <Alberth> it doesn't look for extending your network in particular, it's just simple random cargo, random distance, find a nice destination
20:04:31  <Alberth> but you can build your own connections as well
20:04:41  <andythenorth> hmm, where is my SV game screenshot? :P

20:05:12  <andythenorth> last game I played was an awesome SV manufacturing supplies game, everything focussed on one corner of map
20:05:35  <andythenorth> so the cargo flow was a very large set of primary nodes, delivering to a smaller set of secondary
20:05:38  <Alberth> got a bit crowded in the corner :p
20:05:49  <andythenorth> then all secondary to one hub, with 5 tertiary nodes for goal delivery
20:05:53  <andythenorth> very pretty
20:06:09  <Alberth> sounds very neat
20:06:24  <andythenorth> BB is the total opposite
20:06:27  <andythenorth> both are good
20:06:45  <andythenorth> also I’ve messed with FIRS, breaking the neat flow of metal / oil -> supplies
20:06:51  <andythenorth> which is better imho

21:17:27  <dreck> quick question: I'm rechecking wiki to see what I did not remember but anyway...if you rcon-change a game setting does it take effect immediately or only in next game?
21:19:06  <frosch123> depends whether you use the setting or settingnewgame command
21:19:59  <dreck> ah, will look that up. thanks

21:38:47  <dreck> frosch sorry to ask but I think maybe I'm misunderstanding something .. how does one actually use ]rcon <pwd> "content state"?
21:39:33  <frosch123> check the help page
