Title: Possible mail bug, industry sends mail to itself?
Post by: Jando on July 26, 2013, 11:35:45 AM
I have uploaded a save game here: http://simutrans-germany.com/files/upload/More_Test.sve

Please check the Postal Bicycle No. 6 - since weeks it carries 4 bundles of mails from one local stop to another, origin and destination of the bundle is the same butcher. The location of the butcher is covered by both local stations.

I believe he sends mail to himself. :)

Perhaps not exactly the same bug (since the origins are elsewhere), but something similar:
http://simutrans-germany.com/files/upload/Braunstone_184000001_1844-09a.sve (http://simutrans-germany.com/files/upload/Braunstone_184000001_1844-09a.sve)
The buses in Whitworth are going back and forth with a couple of hundred passengers who can't decide what stop they should get off at to buy some fish: they'll ride e.g. from the station to Grange Farm Close, get off, and then instead of walking to the fishmonger, they'll wait for the next bus to some other stop, and so on.  (In fact, all four stops on the bus line are within reasonable walking distance of the shop, but Grange Farm Close is the nearest.)  The mail seems to be doing something similar.

Best wishes,
Matthew

I've noticed this same bug as Mcollett mentioning above as well.

Thank you for the reports - found and fixed on the 11.x branch.

Yes, 11.3 seems to clear the problem.

Thanks,
