13:37:25 <hythlodaeus> So I discoverd cargodist apparently is a thing and, but I'm a little confused on how the different settings affect gameplay, i.e. the symmetric vs asymmetric settings
13:37:57 <hythlodaeus> does it also affect other types of cargo that are not passengers and mail?
13:42:50 <nielsm> there's four settings, one for passengers, one for mail, one for valuables, and one for "everything else"
13:43:26 <nielsm> valuables actually being the ARMOURED cargo class which also covers the diamonds/gold cargoes in the base game
13:44:24 <nielsm> symmetric vs. asymmetric is whether it tries to have approximately the same amount of cargo in each direction, or whether it shouldn't bother trying that
13:44:58 <nielsm> symmetric mode might be easier to manage capacity for

14:17:42 <Eddi|zuHause> hythlodaeus: imagine 3 cities, 2 big and 1 small, symmetric tries to make it so passengers going from one city to another are paired with a passenger back, so most people end up going between the two large cities, with asymmetric many people would be going to the small city, but never coming back
14:19:28 <Eddi|zuHause> so if A and B produce 1000 passengers, and C produces 100 passengers
14:19:29 <Eddi|zuHause> with asymmetric the numbers would be A->B 500, A->C 500, B->A 500, B->C 500, C->A 50, C->B 50
14:19:46 <Eddi|zuHause> with symmetric the numbers would be A->B 950, A->C 50, B->A 950, B->C 50, C->A 50, C->B 50
14:44:40 <hythlodaeus> so symmetric is essentially more realistic?
14:47:33 <planetmaker> for PAX. For coal... doubtful
14:48:09 <hythlodaeus> yeah for passengers and mail i mean

14:56:18 <peter1138> Hmm, I need to choose my Humble stuff now ;(
14:56:46 <peter1138> 10 out of 12. Well, 11, I already have Bad North for free from the Epic store.

15:34:37 <FLHerne> hythlodaeus: asymmetric might be realistic for mail, if you imagine it including parcels

17:02:20 <Samu> what? war3 reforged is a failure? what surprises me most is how ppl couldn't see that right away...
17:03:35 <Samu> it might just be the first game blizzard will finally kill off
17:04:49 <Samu> there used to be long search times even with all players merged in the same realm
17:04:56 <Samu> now they're split into regions
17:05:08 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
17:05:33 <Samu> they're really out of touch with the community
17:06:54 <Samu> they removed ladders, from what I read... seriously?
17:07:14 <Samu> what's the point of playing war3 then

19:22:07 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
19:32:36 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
19:38:48 <frosch123> hmm, how does lightning speed compare to light speed?
19:39:12 <andythenorth> isn't it much slower?
19:40:27 <frosch123> not sure what the speed of lightning measures, but it's probably not faster than light
19:41:10 <andythenorth> 1/3 the speed of light, apparently
20:30:13 <Samu> tomorrow is already february
20:37:08 <LordAro> time does march onwards so
20:40:43 <TrueBrain> So how are we going to divide the uk people from the rest of us here?
20:54:19 <andythenorth> TrueBrain: probably just kban
21:08:30 <andythenorth> it's a feature not a bug
21:21:14 <frosch123> next time andy files a feature request, i expect a customs declaration, unless lord reviews it
21:22:01 <frosch123> though maybe lord lives in scotland?
21:24:07 <frosch123> rptr: someone testing for MP_WATER tiles, thinking they only refer to flat tiles
21:27:57 <rptr> someone funded that industry i guess
21:29:32 <frosch123> does brexit happen at utc/gmt midnight, or cet midnight?
21:30:39 <frosch123> it probably gets delayed till utc+13
21:34:53 <TrueBrain> lol @ frosch123, I like the customs declaration idea :D
21:35:03 <TrueBrain> happens in 90 minutes
21:35:22 <TrueBrain> we are finally done with them
21:35:47 <frosch123> 90 minutes? that is utc+3
21:36:01 <frosch123> i suspect russian interference
21:36:44 <frosch123> hmm, my math is bad today, utc+2, maybe ukraine
21:38:31 <TrueBrain> hmm .. no, the time is confusing as fuck :P
21:38:33 <TrueBrain> nobody seems to agree
21:39:27 <TrueBrain> seems to be 140 minutes
21:39:56 *** Progman has joined #openttd
21:41:06 <TrueBrain> hmm .. my decoderstation no longer wants to boot .. that is odd
21:48:21 <TrueBrain> frosch123: btw, GitHub Teams are pretty cool. Not only does it give a discussion form per team, you can also do @translators in issues or pull-requests for example
21:48:33 <TrueBrain> it basically has all the needs to collaborate .. shocking, I know
22:07:05 <frosch123> well, i found the bug in firs for the oilrig slope, i just have no idea in which branch to fix it...
22:07:18 <frosch123> andythenorth: v4-release-tracker has the latest commit?
22:24:39 <TrueBrain> peter1138: it is amazing how terrible most sites are in telling the time .. they even can't settle on the time :D

23:07:22 <LordAro> peter1138: no, another hour yet
23:08:59 <frosch123> hmm, pyfirs even has code to autodetect that bug, it just does not seem to work in all cases
23:11:25 <spnda> Why is it happening at 11pm GMT anyway and not at 0am GMT?! Doesn't make sense to me
23:11:42 <frosch123> that's the compromise
23:11:53 <frosch123> midnight brussels, text in gmt
23:12:43 <spnda> Well, sure, but still weird
23:13:10 <LordAro> as oposed to the whole thing, which is perfectly sane and reasonable?
23:19:07 <peter1138> Well, I reckon now is about the right time for bed.
23:19:26 <peter1138> Mainly cos otherwise I'm just going to drink more and eat more and then I'll be sad that I overate.
23:24:29 <frosch123> hmm, apparently i have merge permissions on andy/firs
23:33:19 <Wolf01> <frosch123> or does everyone? <- I think some of us have permissions on all andy's repos
