OpenTTD AIs and Game Scripts • Re: [GS] Renewed Village Growth 12.1 (RVG)

Let me know if you find anything dubious.

The cargo categories seem to be wrong on my end when using FIRS 5.2.0 with your fix. I'm relying on the Global Story Book to verify cargo categories.

A version that works with RVG 12.1 is FIRS 5.0.0-beta3 and the cargoes for Temperate Basic are: Category 1: Public services: Passengers, Mail Category 2: Raw food: Fish, fruit, livestock, milk Category 3: Raw materials: China clay, coal, iron ore, sand, scrap metal Category 4: Processed materials: Chemicals, Engineering Supplies, Farm Supplies, Steel Category 5: Final Products: Alcohol, Food, Goods

But with your fix (on FIRS 5.2.0), the categories are mismatched: Category 1: Public services: Passengers, Mail Category 2: Raw food: Alcohol, coal, fish, food, fruit, goods, livestock, milk Category 3: Raw materials: Chemicals, China clay, Engineering Supplies, Farm Supplies, Iron ore, Sand, Scrap Metal, Steel no category 4 or 5.

Similar issues with Steeltown (mismatched categories/cargoes), I suspect there are problems with the other FIRS sets too.

So I went into the code, the reason the things are mismatched, is because the epic code that they wrote, just divides all the cargoes evenly into the categories, I found that too immersive breaking for myself, I also want the hardest items to be the last category, and anything easy can be the first two categories, etc.. so I figured out how to manually set things to each category for the specific Firs 5.2 that I use (I like Steeltown, so I configured those manually, but it ends up the last category only has 2 or 3 options, refined materials have the vast majority as I always use the easiest path to determine how 'hard' it is to make something... I will hopefully be testing this to find out if it's balanced, or if some items are just too impossible to fulfill. -- Also the town growth right now feels a bit too difficult... I'm going to try to figure out if it's just a setting or what. Once I am happy, I may post it in the online list if I can figure out how to post something.
