When editing some vehicles the capacity parameter in the mdl file is a direct indication of what the capacity is in-game. On others, it isn’t.
For instance, the Hbi car (vanilla numbers).
capacities = {
{ type = “WOOD”, capacity = 52 },
{ type = “GOODS”, capacity = 52 }Why doesn’t this translate directly to 52 goods per car in game? Other vehicles do. Reducing these ~66% to 17 each results in the car having only a capacity of 4 wood/goods. What is the reasoning behind this behavior?
My goal is to re-balance the capacity and cost of trains to necessitate longer trains. I have come across this anomaly in the process.
Am not sure I understand what you mean… you set 17 and ingame it shows 4? Can you take a screen? It does sound like a bug I guess…
Here, I’ve taken a screen shot of both the original file and the game capacity. Stock.
Truthfully, I could just fidget with the figures until they’re to my liking. I just seek to understand why this behaves one way, while others behave as expected.
Further prodding shows that, for whatever reason, the in-game result is always the rounded result of dividing by 4. 52/4=13 and 17/4=4.25
Just seems odd that this freight car and the semi-truck are afflicted.
All capacities are divided by 4 in-game.
Supposedly this is so you put real-world capacities in the mdl file and the game will translate that to TF capacities.
Well that doesn’t make any sense… why divide by 4? There is no relation to the real-world figures since we don’t know if those units are in tones/cm. Besides, the average player will just look at ingame values and not go through the game files to know of that real-world relation anyway. Looks like a bug to me…
