Access charges in my current game have suddenly changed, from around 10.000 a month to almost nothing. I have no explanation for that change. All Intercity roads in that game had been built by me using the public player thus all Intercity roads are public property and the access charge of roughly 10.000 a month that got deducted for the past 10-15 months looks about right.
Suddenly this charge changed to 88 from around 10.000.
I recently fixed a bug relating to access charges, in which the total distance that a convoy had travelled in kilometres was incorrectly added to the distance travelled over other players' ways in steps. Note that, unless you disable the toll_free_public_roads option, the public player does not charge for accessing its roads.
Oh, you mean the old access charge of 10.000 per month was the bug, haha. I'm earning too much money now. :)
I never noticed the toll_free_public_roads flag before, was always assuming the charge I saw was for using public roads. Thanks for your answer, James.
