Zoning request

[jasperwillem]

Can all zones behave like the secure zone please so you can extend them?

• Toilets
• Staff rooms
• Shops
• Foodstalls
• Bagage area’s

[Coenogo]

If they used the same zoning-style, you wouldn’t be able to have two of the same zones adjacent to each other.

[jasperwillem]

You can leave room between them, not? like a wall for example?

Now, when building the terminal, I build a small toilet, when I extend the toilet, I have to DELETE the room, and remake it.

[Henry747]

I agree. Extending the zones would be great. At the moment, you can only have squares. This is slightly unrealistic. I occasionally find myself having to make a single room out of multiple room zones.

In saying this, I do believe that it would be more difficult to implement than the secure zone.

[jasperwillem]

Since when do we care about difficulty . If you see bug reports, there is lot of more difficult stuff around

[Henry747]

Hahaha. I just have no clue about programming. It’s all difficult to me

[pderuiter]

Why would it be more difficult? The game already handles overlapping zones (staff and secure can overlap can’t they?)

[Henry747]

I was just thinking shops and things have more variables, so it might make it more difficult to conform or expand to make different shapes. I don’t really know, that’s just how programming works in my head

Is there a way to stop those passenger who have not flown yet (departing) from entering the arrivals/reclaim area.

The arrival/reclaim zone should only be for arrival passengers and not all passengers.

[jasperwillem]

2 wings of a terminal, with secure exits in the “leave wing” works fine. If it is within the same terminal area, add a fake 1 block staff zone in the terminal. Passengers wont cross it.

[Jas]

Sorry, i dont follow ,

Can i have the secure exits but without a security control post?

[FX2K]

Rimworld (last time I checked) does this quite well.

i.e for a stockpile,

• if you start to draw from within a current zone, it expands it.
• If you start to draw outside a current zone, it creates a new one.
  No walls / divides needed and also allows for a variety of shaped zones

Would be nice to see this behaviour in ACEO, allowing us to create L or U shaped stores / cafes etc. Although, I have a feeling this would require some additional work to commerce contracts and the required space calculations too, amongst other things.

[Coenogo]

That could certainly work! Perhaps zone-size could be determined from the number of tiles that a zone contains, with one tile being (unknown) by (unknown) meters? Easy to calculate, both for the user when designing the airport, and for the game itself.

[jasperwillem]

Jas, you can split the secure exit and the security checkpoints by location. Put them 60 blocks apart, then build 2 wings. Make a door to the bus stops in wing 1 and 2. Arrivals pass through wing 1, departures wing 2.

[Jas]

thanks for the reply @jasperwillem, but i still dont get it lol.

[jasperwillem]

[Jas]

Thanks for the picture.

Am I correct in saying. Just add a security control post, than pick up bags belts systems and than the exit.

Zones will be sucker. Arrivals zone.

Hmm will try this tomorrow.

Thanks jasper

[jasperwillem]

The belt system can be put in the left wing, they wont mix with arravials

[ReV0LT]

Sounds good, won’t work, if there’s not enough chairs in departure. Pax would still go to arrival just to sit.
