OpenTTD Development • Re: JGR's Patch Pack

Hello,

may I have a feature suggestion, if that's not too much trouble?

Would it be possible to have separate settings for industry generation and closures for primary and secondary industries?

For example I set the primary industries to not be built or closed during the game, so whatever is there after scenario start is there during the game unless I fund more (that should remain a separate setting, as is right now), but secondary industries are "business as usual" with in-game openings and closures?

EDIT: Come to think about it (and having looked through industry specs), it would be a bit more complex For starters, there would be other cases:

• "consume-only" industries (power plants), which could have their own category or fall under secondary industries
• "special cases" like FIRS hotels (produce passengers but otherwise only consume) and oil rigs (produce oil and passengers). The latter is very much a primary industry, the former could IMO be handled as a special case same as above, so anything that produces passengers and/or mail but no other cargos could be considered a "consumer" industry.
