Re: [Rails-devel] FreightTrain Handling in 1837

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Martin:

I did take a short glance on your code, however I have seen nothing 
related to freight trains. Maybe you have not pushed your changes?

I would not assume that a new OR Action is required, more like adding 
new possibilities to the existing one.

Yes I agree the activity is very similar to the 1853 revenue and payout 
problem. I have thought about that previously and it is definite a 
two-dimensional problem, so the player in the general case (in 1837 at 
least for a major that can access more than one mine) should be able to 
choose between different optimization results. (E.g. one maximum run is 
320 revenue and 60 from mines, another is 300 revenue, however 80 from 
mines). So I would present the player a list of possible results and 
having him/her choose from it.

For sure, the results of the run are shown already graphically and as a 
list of hexes, so this is available.
