IRC logs for #openttd on OFTC at 2015-11-09
⏴ go to previous day
00:13:24 <Afdal> I'm curious if this has been discussed before
00:13:31 <Afdal> or rather what the discussion resulted in
00:13:45 <Afdal> Has there ever been talk of implemented another breakdown system?
00:14:25 <Afdal> I think a simple modification of the current system would be enough that people would play with them on more when making huge networks
00:14:40 <Afdal> Just make it so that vehicles don't break down at all if their reliability is above a certain %
00:15:41 <Eddi|zuHause> there is an "improved breakdowns" patch
00:16:45 <Eddi|zuHause> that sounds right
00:17:03 <Eddi|zuHause> there may be more up to date versions
00:18:31 <Afdal> that seems to be fairly geared around realism
00:19:04 <Afdal> the main problem with breakdowns will always be their random nature
00:19:32 <Afdal> I feel like a way to make their behavior deterministic, like my suggestion, would be the best solution that would make people want to use them again
00:20:09 <Eddi|zuHause> any form of breakdowns would always come with a non-zero chance of happening. there will never be 100% reliability
00:20:36 <Eddi|zuHause> what the current breakdowns are missing are mitigation techniques
00:20:45 <Afdal> Well that's what I mean,
00:20:55 <Afdal> if you can just keep a vehicle serviced above X% reliability
00:21:05 <Afdal> the mechanic would still be in play
00:21:13 <Afdal> and you would have to work with it
00:21:19 <Eddi|zuHause> i mean, not that breakdonws never should happen, but when a breakdown happens, you have a chance to work around it
00:21:31 <Afdal> except you could make the kind of super duper optimized networks that you can with them off
00:22:08 <Eddi|zuHause> you can't simultaneously have breakdowns and not have breakdowns
00:28:16 <Afdal> Seems like such a simple option to add
00:28:27 <Afdal> I think it might only be a few lines of code
00:28:40 <Afdal> oh wait you gotta code in the settings GUI element too
00:39:28 <Eddi|zuHause> a) even "a few lines" might mean several hours of work
00:39:41 <Eddi|zuHause> b) i don't think the specific change you requested is desireable
00:40:56 <Afdal> If only you could implement this with a newGRF
01:21:57 <Wolf01> you can play with breakdowns disabled
