Hmmm speaking of the zone’s colors, that makes me wonder. Is it possible to have a text on rooms, similar to how Prison Architect does it?
ITS MONDAY!!! I don’t think I have ever been so excited about a Monday then today!
The version coming to the default branch isn’t much different than the on you can already play on experimental. Otherwise it would be untested.
Well, at least there won’t be as much bug infestations into my airports!
Hopefully, but who knows.
Not really. You can have two separate baggage bays sharing belts at some points. The tilt-tray acts as a sorter and will reroute the bags correctly (if set to “to destination”).
We are at the moment working on a multi selection implementation for certain objects. Planned to be released with A36. It’s gonna be very useful for these types of operations.
Will these implementation also apply for stands? Currently stands are the most difficult object to bulldoze.
That sounds amazing… Now I have to plan what I should do with all the extra time we will get then.
No. I think you got me wrong. I was asking what need there is for baggage check-ins to be connected to baggage bays. since all check-ins can be connected to all baggage bays using belts and tilt-trays, isn’t it kind of redundant to manually connect check-ins to baggage bays again?
The thing is that all check-in desks can be connected to all baggage bays, but that’s not a requirement. Therefore we need a way for the system to validate the paths between them. The system then validates in regards to flights, stands and job tasks so the baggage can be loaded to its flight. Might be a way to do it without, but nothing we will change, I’d say. With the upcoming multi-selection it wont’ be that time consuming
Bags have to travel to specific stands or baggage claim areas. That’s why stands, baggage claim and checkin must be connected to a specific baggage bay
Will that include transit structures? Bus/taxi/car stops? Please say yes
Are you stating that it is possible to connect one check-in counter to multiple baggage bays?
We’ll see! Will discuss this further in the A36 thread when it is up
No sorry, what I meant they can be in the same “web” of belts (two checkin desks going to two different bays sharing a belt for part of the way). The system can’t therefore know what bay the baggage should end up in based on the belt route, thus the manual assignment.
Omg yes, I so need that
Okay. I understand.
This is simplified setup of the baggage check-in system at my airport. I have manually assigned check-in desks to baggage bays as shown. My doubt is if only S1 and S2 are occupied by aircraft and the other stands are vacant, then passengers can only check-in using desk C1 because of the manual assignment. Passengers won’t be able to check-in using desks C2 or C3 even if they’re free as they are not connected to the bays that serve S1 and S2. And because of this I get notifications that say there are not enough check-ins. Now you might ask me to build more check-ins, but isn’t it better to get passengers to use the unused check-ins rather than build new ones?
So, to summarize, is it possible to remove the manual assignment so that passengers can use any free check-in desk?
For your setup that might work, operationally. For other setups, maybe that’s impossible or unwanted. There are so many parts in motion (passengers, flights, service cars, job tasks) in these systems that the way we do it today, probably is the best in the end. Also, this way you can have complete design control of any baggage network.
For that, we need that A350 mdk… Please
Amazing game as well as Dev blog! Really enjoying the game so far!
