[110.0.1] Residual Maintenance after bankruptcy

[DaedalusYoung]

Hi, I'm new here, but I've been playing Simutrans for a much longer time. A few days ago I downloaded the latest version and found this, I think, bug.

I started a new game on pak64 and added 6 AI players, 3 for Goods and 3 for Passengers. Then I let it run at ffwd speed. Of course, some of them went bankrupt, but for one this had a weird outcome. After they sold all they had and deleted all their ways, they ended up having a monthly maintenance of -23.2c. Because of this, their Account Balance still rises every month, somehow reviving the company, but going bankrupt immediately. So it triggers a "has been liquidated" message each month.

Screenshot:


You can see the Maintenance graph is on 23c and the Cashflow is positive. They actually make 278.4c a year, but are going bankrupt all the time (it should take them about 220 gameyears to get a positive balance again).

This of course does not make the game unplayable, but it's just a weird little hiccup. A rounding error somewhere, I think.

Sorry if you guys are already aware of this, I searched, but couldn't find it.

  It is surely bug but Dwachs and other development chiefs have last word in these cases.

Another thing I was thinking: Maybe some of their roads got converted into city roads while they were still active. Then, their maintenance went down because of that. But when they went bankrupt and deleted their roads, the game treated the city roads as being the company's again, basically taking back everything the company had made, regardless of it now being city road. So for those parts, they got the maintenance back again, resulting in this positive number.

[edit] Oh, I just reloaded the game and that fixed it. It only stays at the wrong number while the game keeps running.

I could reproduce this with the recent nightly. There seems to be a bug in the maintenance bookkeeping :/

I've seen it again with another company, but this time they kept paying a small amount of maintenance each month. And it might not be limited to AI players, so I've changed the topic title for that.

Hopefully fixed in r4596.

No roads below a stop again belong always to the player. Was that intended?
