Better Train Boarding
Showing 1-8 of 8 entries
Update: 7 Jun @ 1:52am

Fixed outside connections vehicle spam due to forgetting to reset the "spawn vehicles now" alarm. Ooof.

The extra vehicles will still exist and reach their destination as usual, but at least there won't be any more of them now.

Maintenance update: almost a complete rewrite to improve code clarity, no feature updates.

  • Critical bug fix: fixed passengers wrongly using the "last-come-first-served" order for entering vehicles (problem introduced by this mod in one of the made-in-2022 updates)
  • The "Better Boarding" behavior now extends to various inner-city non-railway public transport: buses, blimps, ferries, trolleybuses, helicopters now uses the "Better Boarding" behavior:
    • Instead of boarding by "position in the station", passengers now board by how long they have been waiting: first-come-first-served

About the bug fix:

Back in 2022, I modified the boarding behavior to also consider the waiting time of each individual passengers to better mimic IRL queuing behavior, but in a moment of weakness, I made a mistake and inverted the boarding order, such that passengers who arrived late got to board the vehicles first. This is exactly the opposite of what I intended.

This bug went unnoticed throughout the year even as I was frequently playing on a map AND actively looking at my crowded metro lines. Smooth brain moment. This has most probably caused frustrations, to me (of course) and to others. And it took an entire year to really notice something is wrong and discover this bug. My very sincerest apologies!

  • Changed the train-boarding algorithm: now uses the Ranked Choice algorithm for better stability
  • Now prioritizes passengers that have waited a long time to let them board first
