Simutrans-Experimental 8.1 is a bugfix release, dealing with a number of issues reported in Simutrans-Experimental 8.0. It does not incorporate many of the GUI changes from the latest versions of Simutrans-Standard, which are not fully stable yet, but does incorporate a few of the more critical fixes from Simutrans-Standard. Here is a list of the changes:

Changes

• FIX: consequently connect canals to sea (Dwachs)
• FIX: Crashes in Makeobj (Dwachs)
• FIX: segfault when building elevated ways. (yobbobandana)
• FIX: Elevated ways should be cheaper over owned ground as for non-elevated ways. (yobbobandana)
• CHANGE: Updated the credits
• FIX: Errors (crashes in Linux) with the sorted list of freight/p****engers in stations/convoys (Tron and yobbobandana)
• FIX: Arbitrary (and very high) demolition costs for stations/stops.
• CHANGE: Attractions check a larger area for a road connexion (previously, they only checked the tiles immediately next to their master tile: now, they check two tiles around their master tile).
• CODE: Placate some compiler warnings about unused variables in virtual function placeholder definitions. (yobbobandana)
• FIX: Crashes on deleting cities (and possibly also on deleting industries and attractions)
• FIX: Recalculation of water ribis after lowering to sea (Dwachs)
• FIX: Simuconf.tab setting for default obsolescence after vehicles came out of production was ignored.
• FIX: Running costs were sometimes set to 0 when scaled if the base values were very low.
• FIX: Diagonal costs cannot be 0 if non-diagonal costs are not 0.
• CHANGE: Allow the maximum river length to be greater (4096 rather than 1024)

Feedback and testing

Thanks to all those who have tested Simutrans-Experimental and provided useful feedback. Any feedback from this version would, as ever, also be very much appreciated, including (1) bug reports; (2) information as to how well-balanced that the game is; (3) any difference in approach/strategy needed for Simutrans-Experimental as over Simutrans-Standard; and (4) any other useful feedback.

Thanks again to all those who have worked to test Simutrans-Experimental, and happy playing!
