10:22:10  <_zephyris> Why 2nd ed? Necromunda and Gorkamorka defo better application of that basic rule set.



10:22:44  <_zephyris> Hmm, need to disentangle world gen window behaviour from game mode

11:15:19  <peter1138> Limited "address space", let's not waste it on variables that only use 4 of 32 bits :)

11:56:16  <reldred> _zephyris: necromunda was also played that night, I swear they spent more time doing paperwork than actually playing (game ended turn 2)



11:57:08  <reldred> and it has occurred to me that the army list i'm building for 2nd ed has a large contingent of soft squishy humans that could also be used in a necromunda gang so that's an option in future.



11:59:03  <reldred> 2nd ed is a dumb silly game but I punched a tank to death who then proceeded to drive away wildly out of control plowing through a forest and off the board edge. Kinda disapppointed it didn't just explode.



13:21:00  <_zephyris> Sounds very on brand for 2nd ed 😉

13:22:32  <_zephyris> @peter1138 fair enough, I hadn't thought about wasting 32bits



13:29:23  <xarick> I'm scared of windows updates nowadays



13:29:42  <xarick> so far I've been spared of the problems reported all over the internet

14:51:39  <talltyler> Sorry, the shrug wasn’t that helpful



14:52:07  <talltyler> “I don’t mind the narrow buttons but players seem to want it, and it looks equally fine to me”



14:52:56  <talltyler> Updated my review comment. 🙂

15:50:38  <andythenorth[d]> this is niche



15:51:05  <andythenorth[d]> but it would be quite nice to be able to specify grf vehicle 'offset from intro date in wallclock minutes'



15:51:29  <andythenorth[d]> spacing out vehicle introductions is a bit of an art



16:15:45  <peter1138> Well, I also like it as it currently is.



16:15:55  <peter1138> (Button padding that is0



16:17:31  <peter1138> FIRS eh? https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=92676



16:18:35  <andythenorth[d]> always is



16:19:10  <andythenorth[d]> it's a dubious feature

16:31:45  <talltyler> This is the image.



16:32:57  <talltyler> I wonder if _zephyris feels like redrawing rough terrain to avoid the tripophobic effect, and maybe look better as wetland?



16:35:13  <talltyler> I answered the FIRS question 🙂



16:36:08  <definitelynotcheese_> Why has nobody made a wetlands industry yet?



16:36:30  <talltyler> What does that mean?



16:36:48  *** alfagamma7 has joined #openttd



16:36:48  <alfagamma7> Idk



16:36:53  <alfagamma7> ricefields?



16:36:58  <definitelynotcheese_> Maybe



16:37:04  <alfagamma7> cotton plantations?



16:37:05  <andythenorth[d]> I can normally detect what will be trypophobic, didn't notice it for swamps



16:37:32  <definitelynotcheese_> alfagamma7: 👨🏾



16:37:34  <talltyler> Wetlands were added recently, and there's not an easy way to detect if an industry is placed in one. Also, if the player has disabled rivers or is using certain mapgen patterns (more oceans = fewer wetlands) there won't be any.



16:37:49  <definitelynotcheese_> Why would cotton be in a swamp



16:37:53  <talltyler> FIRS has a peak bog industry, but it doesn't know about wetlands



16:37:59  <andythenorth[d]> we need a windmill



16:38:03  <andythenorth[d]> to drain the swamp



16:38:12  <andythenorth[d]> dutch invented shareholder capitalism that way



16:38:14  <definitelynotcheese_> Ecs has some



16:38:18  <talltyler> I assume there are windmill objects



16:38:28  <alfagamma7> definitelynotcheese_: idk , was thinking of water intensive agricultural crops



16:38:41  <alfagamma7> rice sure is water intensive



16:39:29  <definitelynotcheese_> Sugar cane



16:39:31  <talltyler> We need more object sets that generate randomly, and cannot be bulldozed, like transmitters and lighthouses 🙂



16:39:46  <andythenorth[d]> GS



16:39:49  <talltyler> Wetlands are often useless to people, and that's not a bad thing 🙂



16:39:50  <andythenorth[d]> to place them



16:40:01  <talltyler> GRF objects can place themselves 🙂



16:40:26  <alfagamma7> I do like the swamp thing



16:40:38  <talltyler> Animal habitats that generate randomly would be cool. I want beaver dams on rivers 🙂



16:41:02  <alfagamma7> but maybe there should be something to not allow fields generating over them



16:41:38  <talltyler> https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/14846 ?



16:42:16  <alfagamma7> Oh, that already exists



16:42:20  <alfagamma7> sorry didn't know



16:42:44  <talltyler> There's always room for improvement, but yeah, thought of that one already 😄

16:55:41  <peter1138> I don't think changing the graphics will change anything much for that person's issue.

17:34:08  <_zephyris> Yup, the issue is the tile landscape and patchy water, not the rough ground or river graphics per se



17:35:45  <_zephyris> As a fairly trypophobic person, not triggering to me, though I can kinda see it
