From 52572cafa62b1ab2f095f8a6d7db23f5d0fa618e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Niels Martin Hansen Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2018 19:06:39 +0100 Subject: Add: Option for population-linear town cargo generation Introduce a new default algorithm for town cargo generation (passengers and mail), and a game setting to choose between the new and original algorithm. The original town cargo generation algorithm has the property of the generated amount relating to the square of each building's population, meaning large towns easily produce more cargo than can realistically be transported. The problem is excessive cargo is amplified if playing with cargodist. The new algorithm introduced instead has a linear relation to the population. The result is that smaller towns will produce slightly more cargo, while the largest towns will produce about a fourth of what they would with the original algorithm. Existing savegames will use the original algorithm, while new games will default to the new algorithm. --- src/lang/english.txt | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/lang/english.txt') diff --git a/src/lang/english.txt b/src/lang/english.txt index c131fdabd..78b49280e 100644 --- a/src/lang/english.txt +++ b/src/lang/english.txt @@ -1583,6 +1583,10 @@ STR_CONFIG_SETTING_TOWN_FOUNDING_HELPTEXT :Enabling this s STR_CONFIG_SETTING_TOWN_FOUNDING_FORBIDDEN :Forbidden STR_CONFIG_SETTING_TOWN_FOUNDING_ALLOWED :Allowed STR_CONFIG_SETTING_TOWN_FOUNDING_ALLOWED_CUSTOM_LAYOUT :Allowed, custom town layout +STR_CONFIG_SETTING_TOWN_CARGOGENMODE :Town cargo generation: {STRING2} +STR_CONFIG_SETTING_TOWN_CARGOGENMODE_HELPTEXT :How much cargo is produced by houses in towns, relative to the overall population of the town.{}Quadratic growth: A town twice the size generates four times as many passengers.{}Linear growth: A town twice the size generates twice the amount of passengers. +STR_CONFIG_SETTING_TOWN_CARGOGENMODE_ORIGINAL :Quadratic (original) +STR_CONFIG_SETTING_TOWN_CARGOGENMODE_BITCOUNT :Linear STR_CONFIG_SETTING_EXTRA_TREE_PLACEMENT :In game placement of trees: {STRING2} STR_CONFIG_SETTING_EXTRA_TREE_PLACEMENT_HELPTEXT :Control random appearance of trees during the game.
