    v0.4.9e — five of six playtest bugs: one button per train, and a load that has to go somewhere

    Jesse.Markowitz released this 2026-08-22 03:55:08 +00:00 | 74 commits to main since this release

    Gameplay testing on 0.4.9d returned six reports. Five are fixed; the sixth could not be
    reproduced and is written up in TODO.md with the two questions that would pin it down.

    TWO TRAINS AT ONE PLATFORM ANSWERED TO ONE BUTTON. porter.board and porter.detrain
    carried no tray, so there was one button per platform however many trains stood at it and
    the reducer filled the first empty coach on the A/D tracks. check and the reducer were not
    even asking the same question: check skipped a train whose card refuses passenger work and
    the reducer did not. Both intents now carry an optional trayId, one function resolves the
    train and the coach for check/execute/reduce alike, legal.ts offers one candidate per train,
    and the label names it.

    A LOAD COULD BE MADE AND BROKEN WITHOUT GOING ANYWHERE. A Freight House could unload the
    boxcar it had just loaded; a platform could detrain the passengers it had just boarded. Full
    Revenue at both ends for a movement that never happened. Jesse's rule: a load made anywhere in
    an Office Area may not be broken anywhere in that Office Area, ever — it has to be carried to
    another district. The load carries the seat that made it (RollingStock.origin), stripped by
    pooled at every yard push. Measured at -0.60 +/- 0.10 Revenue a game (t = -6.1) over 400
    paired deals: 78 worse, 3 better, 319 unchanged — free Revenue coming off the board, not a nerf.

    THE GROCER'S WAREHOUSE SHIPPED AND THE REFINERY RECEIVED. Both were flow: 'both' on the
    reading that "Freight House" was a collective term for exactly those two, and therefore what
    §9.3 described. The engine has dealt a Freight House CARD since before v0.4.9, so §9.3 names
    it and the argument goes. The card set agrees: all three Refinery modifiers grant +1 outbound.
    Refinery outbound-only, Grocer's inbound-only, Freight House the one two-way industry — which
    leaves exactly the one same-district pairing the rule above refuses.

    NOT REPRODUCED: cars left behind when backing up over them. Five layouts tried, including cars
    spotted at an industry; every one couples the lot. Three are pinned in apply.test.ts. One way
    to create such cars was closed anyway — flyingSwitch wrote its cut past carsOn.

    Both published replays that had gone dead were re-recorded; a rules change retires a save, and
    harness.test.ts is what catches it.
