Extras that must run loaded, and a circus paid per district (Gitea#13)
"I've redefined some of the extra trains that they have to run full boxcars —
military trains, circus trains, etc. If not loaded, then empty, and if none
available, run without."
MAKE-UP. X17 Campaign, X18 Circus and X19 Military carry `mustRunLoaded`. It is a
preference order rather than a flat requirement, so the rule is asked of the
DIVISION YARD: an empty is refused only while the yard can still supply a loaded
car this train would accept, and once it cannot, the empty is legal and the train
may still depart short. Per category, since that is the slot the car competes for
— a loaded coach is no reason to refuse an empty boxcar.
SCORING, per Jesse's ruling (2026-08-29): "once per stop in an office area. In a
multiplayer game, each player could score if the circus stops in their area." So
`stopPointClaimed` (a boolean, once per game) becomes `stopPointSeats` (the seats
already paid). A Circus touring three districts is paid three times; one parked in
the same district all game is paid once. The other half of the ruling — "if the
circus train gets recycled and played a second time as a second extra, then it
could again score points later too" — needs no code: a train is made up onto a
fresh tray every time, so a re-played Extra starts with an empty list.
The point now requires the train to be FULLY LOADED, meaning every non-caboose car
loaded. A coach counts as loaded when occupied, which is what makes this the right
test for the Campaign Train: X17 carries one coach and no freight, so "fully
loaded" is exactly "the candidate is aboard". X17 also GAINS the per-stop point —
it had `stopThenExpedite` and no scoring rule at all, and Jesse's "credit for a
circus or campaign train (one point per stop)" says it should score.
TWO BUGS FIXED ALONG THE WAY:
- `ConsistSpec.emptiesOnly` was declared on X13 Appleseed, RENDERED to the player
as "(empties only)" by both web/game.ts and sim/view.ts, and enforced by
nothing — `acceptsCar` never read it, so the Appleseed could be made up loaded
while its own card said otherwise. It is the same rule as this issue pointing
the other way, and it would have been perverse to add one and leave the other.
- Setting up out on the Mainline paid a point to PLAYER 0 whoever was playing:
`playerAtSeat` needs a seat, off the grid there is none, and the fallback was
`0`. Scoping the rule to Office Areas is what the ruling says and removes the
misattribution rather than patching it.
Both loading rules exempt the caboose: every caboose in ROLLING_STOCK_SUPPLY is
minted loaded, so an unexempted rule would bar the one car a consist lists by name.
`trainNeedingCars` now asks the full question per car rather than the shape
question. It shares its predicate with `check` precisely to avoid the stall its own
comment describes, and the shape question stopped being the same question: an
empties-only train facing a yard of loaded cars would have been told a car was
available and then refused every one.
The two published replays that stopped replaying under the new rules were retired
and re-recorded with save-replay.ts, which verifies each candidate before writing
it. That is what test/harness.test.ts is for and what its comment prescribes.
846 tests pass.
