Re: Ships Can't Find Route

[BBGunn]

Hi all.  I searched but I cannot find the solution to this problem.

I am playing a game with Simutrans 112.3 Experimental 11.4.   I am using Pak128.Britain-Ex-0.9.0, with some addons.  The year is 1900.  I put a passenger dock in each of two nearby cities, as shown in the attached screenshot.  Then I built a shipyard (shown in the middle right of the screenshot), purchased a ferry, and set up a ferry line.  However, when I press the "Start" button, I get a warning "Vehicle can't find route".  This happens no matter what ferry I purchase, whether steam or sail.  I tried doing the "rotating four times" trick mentioned above, but that didn't work.  I saved and reloaded, but that did not work as well.  I even tried using waypoints and that did not work, either, although I shouldn't have to use waypoints for such a short distance.  There are no land obstacles between the two docks.  The water in the area is shallow; I don't think that has anything to do with it, though.

Any advice?

You should report this on the experimental board. This topic is about a problem that was fixed in standard a long time ago.

I'm sorry about that.  I thought the protocol here was to keep all queries on a topic in the same thread.

Don't worry keeping bug reports in the same thread does make sense - the problem lies with experimental as changes made by their developers means that they can't quickly merge bug fixes and features from standard. Letting them know on the experimental board will remind them it's a bug they need to fix too

Yes, my point was mostly that you are having a problem with a different, though related, product. Although those working on experimental probably browse through error reports for standard as well, you are more likely to catch their attention on their own board.

(Furthermore, I think this topic should have been moved first to the bug board and then to the solved board back in 2011.)

Hello - sorry that you are having trouble. Can you upload a saved game in which this can be reproduced?
