If a route fails, none of it will be removed. This function is not yet available for Script AIs.

sqai_rail v0.2

minor fixes
If the construction of a route fails, it is usually completely demolished.

sqai_rail v0.3

bugfixes
remove stucked road vehicles

I tested pak64.german and pak64. Other sets can cause errors.

bugfixes

I tested pak64.german and pak64. Other sets can cause errors.

I think this release is bug free to the point that it can be used.

Of course, errors can still occur because not all of the many options have been tested yet.

Wow! Got no error messages so far. It is great to the AI build these double-tracks.

Unfortunately, harbors are often not built at combined stations because the field is already built on.

minor change

ADD tree removal costs

[Isaac Eiland-Hall]

ADD tree removal costs

Capitalists boo, environmentalists cheer

[Andarix]

The costs are defined in the paksets. The construction costs of the Script AI have not taken these costs into account.

Depending on the route, up to 30,000 Cr can be incurred as additional expenditure when building a route.

sqai_rail v0.6

In addition to bug fixes, this version also integrated extensions.

- Vehicles: If there are vehicles of different speeds on a line, the slower (mostly older) ones are taken out of service.
- Ways: If there are vehicles faster than the route speed, the routes of the line will be expanded (if own or public). Rail track not testet

sqai_rail v0.7.7
include in the next Simutrans Release (123.0.1)

This revision should be suitable for long-term games. Unfortunately I wasn't able to test everything extensively (runtime, different packages), but this revision should get quite good results in games.

It will often not be possible for a single AI to completely open up industrial chains. But the AI is renewing its vehicles and expanding its routes. What I haven't been able to test so far is expanding platforms. So the platform smaller 5 fields can be extended to up to 5 fields, provided the route allows it.

To put it right away and not arouse false hopes. The AI is designed in such a way that it can survive in the various packages (at least I hope because not every package has been tested by me). She's not a perfect player in every packset. Finer adjustments to different packages will be possible in the future. That depends on whether players give feedback or not.

I really like this AI.

I have a small error regarding map boundaries.
It seems it built right at the edge of the map and this causes out-of-bounds issues.
The mapsize is 255,255.

Sorry, I don't have it anymore.
I just recreated the map and realized too late that I should probably keep the save...

For some time now, when land has been lowered to water level, water has formed instead of land. This leads to previously unsolved problems in the script AI.

This feature change is a bit dubious as many paksets are not able to turn water into land due to undefined climate tools or lack of player access. Conversely, it is possible to build channels in almost every pakset.

[Dwachs]

It should be relatively simple to implement the change-climate tool for scripts.  I will try tonight.

It should be relatively simple to implement the change-climate tool for scripts.  I will try tonight.

The climate tool raises other problems. For one, it's not defined in every paksets. Secondly, if the script AI can use it even if it is not available to the player, it might confuse the players.

Currently, a previous test of what is happening would be sufficient. Then you can cancel the action.

I am also currently missing the construction tool for overhead lines.

sqai_rail v0.8.0

Pre-Release -> debug messages output
Not all functions have been tested because it has not occurred in the test games so far.

To put it right away and not arouse false hopes. The AI is designed in such a way that it can survive in the various packages (at least I hope because not every package has been tested by me). She's not a perfect player in every packset. Finer adjustments to different packages will be possible in the future. That depends on whether players give feedback or not.

Railway lines are being expanded for multi-train operation with sidings. The number depends on the length of the route and the terrain.
From 1935, railway lines longer than 80 tiles can be electrified and use electric vehicles.

For long connections, a higher capital is required. Therefore these connections are discarded if the existing capital is not high enough.

There are several runs for route optimization. Bridges and incisions are built. Tunnel not supportet by script AI. Level crossings are also replaced by road bridges if the number of road vehicles exceeds 100 per month and the course of the road permits.

If the maximum speed of vehicles increases, routes are expanded to the necessary speed.

Road conversions always require suitable owners.

Unprofitable and incomplete routes/connections will be removed again.

When traffic jams occur, empty vehicles will be removed after a while to clear the jam.

Unfortunately, earlier games (< r.0.7.0) no longer work from this version onwards.

Problems
With larger maps and more complex industrial chains, the chains are not fully developed. This results from the amount of the starting capital.

When land has been lowered to water level, water has formed. Not yet decided what solution there will be.

Problems can arise when railroad lines cross.

Connections that require more than 3 sections are not completely built.

When removing routes, remnants may remain.

When converting electrified routes, the overhead line may not be closed again.
