10:51:19 <pickpacket> Borg (who apparently isn't here rn): no, it's not mine, but I participated. I played the Soylent Tea company
11:17:02 <reldred> they dont use a bouncer so no point leaving a message after the tone
11:17:31 <pickpacket> ah. I thought they might be on the discord
11:17:55 <reldred> nein, they're an ircian
11:26:51 <reldred> someone kick it again
11:27:02 <reldred> talltyler: wen yolo merge
11:30:09 <peter1138> Needs a yolo approve first.
11:30:25 <peter1138> I was going to take a look at the weekend but didn't have the spoons.
11:31:00 <reldred> I was supposed to clean the house
11:31:18 <reldred> instead i left it to precisely the last minute
11:34:15 <reldred> which was this evening
11:34:24 <reldred> and now i am le tired and regretting my decisions
11:46:02 <Borg> hah.. I found interesting oddity.. with of course I WONT going to hunt at all.. its not a problem.. but kinda interesting where it can come from..
11:46:57 <Borg> went train finishes Wait N days at PBS signal.. and resumes to his current order.. there is slight delay before train starts moving (signal gets green) compared to normal waiting for path :)
11:47:07 <Borg> I dont know how much ticks... 2 ? 3 maybe...
11:48:04 <Borg> theoretically. it should move right away.. OT_WAIT is changed for whatever the current order was..
11:55:50 <Borg> or not.. because signal gets green :)
12:34:11 <peter1138> What tools you use to create AI house?
12:34:49 <_zephyris> Me? Never have successfully...
12:35:07 <peter1138> I was paraphrasing a Reddit post :)
12:36:45 *** andythenorth has quit IRC (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
12:37:47 <peter1138> Do we path-find through a drive-through road depot...
12:42:17 <_zephyris> You would through a station...
12:42:40 <mmtunligit> unhelpful answer: not if the vehicle has passengers onboard
12:48:18 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
13:19:31 <peter1138> Sometimes it's the only route :)
13:20:10 <peter1138> (Of course that's a bad idea for roads, reallyh)
13:20:13 <Borg> whats the usecase for drive thru depots?
13:27:00 <peter1138> Whatever players makes with it.
13:29:07 <talltyler> Depot on the main line/road is very Railroad Tycoon 3, I like it 🙂
13:29:59 <peter1138> I can imagine it would streamline depot unbunching and servicing in general.
13:31:02 <peter1138> Although in that case it's probably a bit more eye-candy than the existing way, as throughput would be less than two opposing depots.

15:29:07 <_zephyris> Pathfinder penalty presumably, because the vehicles slow down...
15:29:29 <_zephyris> Don't see anything wrong with depots on paths per se
15:34:58 <peter1138> Though I think someone already said as much.
15:48:07 <_zephyris> Though the commit checker is sad, maybe it doesn't like change: fix either 😉
16:05:01 *** Yup has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
16:19:17 <peter1138> Hmm, pub today to tomorrow.
16:45:14 <peter1138> Hmm, is necessary for company dropdown lists/keys to include "(Company #)"?
16:48:40 <will_marshall_> basically only useful information for the server admin about to drop a reset_company, surely?
17:22:40 <mmtunligit> wonderful "bug" report
17:29:01 <mmtunligit> YES OH MY GOD AHAHAHAHAHA
17:31:00 <mmtunligit> da farmer has logged on
17:32:55 <belajalilija> hahaah wtf is going on
17:32:56 *** exceptik has joined #openttd
17:32:56 <exceptik> I wonder why the seemingly random sizes in the descriptions
17:33:13 <mmtunligit> something beautiful, thats what
17:33:21 <belajalilija> i wonder if forests will be incorrect too
17:33:39 <mmtunligit> they arent chopping trees in the correct pattern
17:34:07 <mmtunligit> coal mines should slowly terraform the tops off nearby hills
17:34:09 <exceptik> Then what? Bubbles are incorrect?
17:34:28 <belajalilija> "the battery farms are unrealistic"
17:37:07 <tabytac> Im finding it hard to determine if thats AI slop or just a really misinformed user
17:38:18 <mmtunligit> it doesnt read like AI at all, i think this is someone who has farm autism
17:38:38 <exceptik> Joined three days ago, opened two issues of the similar manner... Interesting indeed
17:39:03 <tabytac> but wtf do bee hives and rotten wood have to do with openttd...
17:39:10 <pickpacket> mmtunligit: doesn't seem limited to farms
17:39:41 <LordAro> we can move the sawmill issue to the ogfx repo :p
17:40:50 <pickpacket> I think the described "expected result" sounds very arbitrary too, but maybe that's me being ignorant
17:41:08 <peter1138> It's a wishlist, not a bug.
17:41:49 <LordAro> newgrf controlled farms has been discussed before, at least
17:41:59 <belajalilija> holy fuck i just clicked the links
17:42:06 <mmtunligit> i think the "expected result" is modeled after US style gridded farmlands and lumber mill practices
17:42:25 <belajalilija> that is some serious autism or really amazing trolling
17:42:52 <LordAro> and as such, please refrain from engaging
17:43:03 <belajalilija> oh i didnt comment on it
17:43:30 <LordAro> a general statement to the floor
17:44:31 <mmtunligit> i figured an explanation for why these were being closed was probably in order in the case of genuine ignorance, but past that itz not worth engaging
17:50:14 <LordAro> i think it might be block time
17:50:35 <squirejames> Release the ban hammma
17:51:07 <belajalilija> he needs a brogan adjustment
17:53:07 <LordAro> my favourite bit is the attached saves
17:53:25 <LordAro> don't suppose anyone feels like loading them up?
17:54:27 <belajalilija> i do wonder what's within dont really like the idea of downloading random stuff from someone like that
17:58:09 <mmtunligit> seems to be normal
17:58:36 <mmtunligit> 3 point to point routes
17:59:12 <mmtunligit> its all the same savefile
17:59:40 <squirejames> This is why we can't have nice things
17:59:56 <mmtunligit> im guessing defult settings but i cant be bothered to check
19:10:16 <rito12_13> Is SH/Hendry named after Stephen Hendry?
19:17:59 <squirejames> So, most of the QA department became the aircraft manufacturers
19:18:57 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
19:19:11 <andythenorth> no but isn't that "SH/Henry '25' (Diesel)" image just AI?
19:19:17 <andythenorth> I think they've been LLMing
19:19:37 <squirejames> And, I mean Floss for Brush makes sense. British punnage there. I guess it could be Stephen Hendry. Whatever the origin its a Sulzer stand in
19:22:14 <Timberwolf> Needs more "would you like me to look up more colloquial names for ScotRail rolling stock, or investigate further into the origins of the "SH/Hendry" name?"
19:25:39 <andythenorth> I gave it the screenshot of the Hendry 25, and it word-souped much more accurately
19:26:08 <andythenorth> It also word-souped that the GH bug reporter probably used an LLM, based on tells.
19:27:20 <squirejames> That was less word soup, more...I dunno, whatever you get when you try and combine soup, ice cream and breakfast cereal because hey they're all solids with liquid and go in bowls

19:57:27 <ahyangyi> andythenorth: Regardless, it looks nothing like the actual 25 😛
19:58:03 <ahyangyi> squirejames: Is that a very long way to say slop
19:58:19 <squirejames> That;d be the word yes 😄

20:49:47 <_zephyris> Defo a real one, looks nothing like the sprite though!
20:51:22 <ahyangyi> Hmm, and it's really Henry.
21:05:31 <andythenorth> and it's a steam turbine
21:05:42 <andythenorth> of about 4500 hp
21:17:34 *** MinchinWeb[m] has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
21:17:45 *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd
21:43:31 <squirejames> trolls gonna troll
21:44:03 <squirejames> and considering it was a nickname, it'd be better to call it "Rat" (which the 25s were actually known as)
21:47:14 <reldred> is about all I can say
21:47:40 *** Wolf01 has quit IRC (Quit: Once again the world is quick to bury me.)

22:30:09 *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd
22:45:23 <peter1138> Huh, so the fake aircraft names that resemble real aircraft names is just becuase the names of the QA team happened to be that way...
23:22:46 *** andythenorth has quit IRC (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
23:35:24 <squirejames> Yup. He saw Phill McDonnell's name and ran with it 😄
continue to next day ⏵
