AI's Stop Fail to Connect Properly to Industry

Please see attached image. Goods AI intended to collect waste from garbage dump, but the stop wasn't built close enough to cover the garbage dump. In the end, no waste was delivered, and later Goods AI remove all roads, stops and vehicles.

This is detected in R2422 (Win/SDL) with Pak128 v.554.

Thanks for your attention.

DId you rotate the map? THis may confuse AI, since it check rotation status directly from factory.

@prissi: I did not do any test, but I think in lines 883 and 889 of ai_goods.cc the third parameter of suche_platz1_platz2 should be length-1 and 0 (instead of length and 0). See the routine
bool ai_t::suche_platz(koord pos, koord &size, koord *dirs) const in ai.cc line 168.

I only know old ai code.
Every time "if(  current_dist<dist  &&  suche_platz(platz,size,dir)  )" is called, size is overwritten. So, two rotations test never success.

In old ai code, there was a bug and two rotations test didn't happen.

I didn't do any rotation. Simply started a new game and activated one Goods AI, and then this happened. The reason why this problem went unnoticed is probably because the Goods AI will remove everything once it finds the line unprofitable.

THe code was lacking the rotation check at all.
