Final game balancing

What does it mean? I am scared right now.

There is nothing to be scared about - if i'm remembering correct, the devs told us that they planning to finalize this game soon since 0.14.

I'm not strictly against the idea but this needs to be thought out more. What happens once the train reaches the destination? Just as it is right now: the train checks and wait for the wait conditions of his actual TrainScheduleRecord and after that it targets the next station in his TrainSchedule-...

Yeah, and you use the energy to do what? Make the planet to a better place for whom?

However, a lot of information is still missing and it is hard to keep the documentation up to date. Did you even see how the documentation used to look like? It's the most updated and complete it has ever been, partially due to me semi-automating it. Do you two talk about the same thing? I've been ...

The main problem with this is the same reason we haven't made any automated prototype documentation: There are So. Many. Different. Ways. that each bit of data can be provided for a given style and so many combinations of what it actually does that nobody has been able to make any auto-documentatio...

Nice!

That means, we only need the extension of TrainScheduleRecord and of LuaTrain.recalculate_path()

Greetings, Ronny

Give every train stop an unique ID (like you do it already with trains) and add an attribute to the Class TrainScheduleRecord: targetid. If the targetid of the next TrainScheduleRecord is set, the method LuaTrain.recalculate_path() has to prioritize the corresponding train stop with the unique id as...

Since 0.16.50 is officially stable now, are there any hints when we will get a closer look on 0.17.x in experimental tree?

Windows 7 will not get any security updates in less than two years from now (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet), so you should have a working alternative before that date has come. 1. Two years from now, plenty of time to worry about it. Time passes faster ...

whatever you do with graphics, as long as it is optimised for Windows 7, have fun. I'm still not a fan of anything released after 7. I have been playing with 10, but... it's not playing nice. (It's mostly the windows update thing that's bugging me) I don't want to scare you, but perhaps you should ...

I knew about log(), but didn't know about error()... though to be fair I can't see a reason to throw an error on purpose, usually when errors happen, I fix them. oh this is an easy one: There could be situations, where the game- or lua-engine don't recognize an error, but your code works different ...

Now for the electric trains: Each trains is in exactly one electric network. Yeah, but you could have more than one electric network, more than one train network, it depends only on your way how you realize stuff like this.

Perhaps i don't get your point either, but i believe you're wrong (Ans also perhaps i am wrong, i don't know). There are two things you have to check for any instance which need electricity: * Is there a connection to a electric network? * Generate the connected electric networks enough energy to pr...

Isn't that even possible right now?

I thought, i saw something like this in the (moddable) sources for the campaign that already exist.
