[r7475] New shops appear - but without suppliers

[Václav]

I found in release 7475 that new shop appear - but without suppliers.

I achieved number of citizens when new industry appears. And new industry appears. New shop appears - but without any supplier.

That no supplier appears, it is not problem at first glance. Because no new supplier may appear in case of else suppliers are already available in map. Problem is, that shop is not connected to any supplier.

It did three attempts. And result of new industry appearance was the same. No new supplier appears - and shop without connections to any supplier.

Which shop? I may be well a wrong shop definition, or missing entry data or many more causes.

[Václav]

Shop as final part of industry chain.


Next two or three attempts had still the same result. Only shop changed between Kaufhalle and Geschaeft. And shop appeared in random place.


Hard to say what would happen with else industry chains like power plants or so.

You don't say which pak set this is. Do these consumers have a common supplier? If so, maybe there is no suitable place for it.

All needed suppliers are already available (built) in map - so at least shops could be connected to them. I looked for demanded climates of possible suppliers. And all ones may appear - because my map begins in mediterran - and ends in rocks.

Unless they are too far away.

[Václav]

Hard to say if they were too far. I took a look on position where shop appeared the first time. And one supplier was not so far - in else city that is quite near (250 tiles or closer*).

Map: 2000*1316

Minimap zoom (in max. view size - it means about 728, if I counted correctly): 2:1 to see both cities in full size, 3:1 to see both cities partly.


In currently last attempt ClothingStore (new addon from my design factory) - and with suppliers. One is in the same city (it means very very near) - and the other one is outside of view area of minimap in zoom 2:1. So, probably it is not (only) about distance between factories. At least because from the start of game some connected factories were very distant to each other. And this industry growth was first.
