before it's connected to the hub? The answer is, we can't know that. The problem is, how do we know a section is inbound to a hub. What you desire is 'sections' where, if inbound to the hub, can have any number of 'T' intersections to them - forming defacto hubs.

It's really just a matter of how to achieve that in a way that reacts consistently and intuitively - and we're working towards that. We truly do understand what you're looking for, and we don't disagree - truly, we don't. What you're asking for is something we're largely in agreement on - the issue is how to implement it in such a way where it makes sense and the tools we give you are consistent in how they behave. Why did Prison Architect require electricity grids, and why did they require multiple grids be kept separate? Challenge is desirable tediousness isn't - it's a fine balance, especially in a game like this where everything is system-based. For more distant gates the Depots could be used to save time.ġ) User experience, in this case largely referring to the user interface.Ģ) We participate on the forums here, and on Reddit - we interact with players regardless of where the discussion is generally, including via email as you know! =) We do try to stick towards the forum here & on Reddit, but we love SimAirport & are always happy to talk about it anywhere - including occasionally on Discord, etc.ģ) We can make that argument about anything though why have player scheduling? We can algorithmically determine optimal - why don't we just do that, it'd be far less complex. Baggage Carts could have driven into the room/area to pick up and drop off bags. Or in reality the 'hub' or central baggage processing could have just been an area in a room within or beneath the terminal. Then run back and off to Baggage Carousels. That said, I just don't understand why there needed to be a major overhaul of the whole works? Previously we could run things together with conveyors, they worked great (we could see the bags go.), and all we needed was a (singular, though possibly multiple, based on the size and complexity of the terminal) hub to run into from ticketing and branch out to multiple BRSs (Depots). I'm just struggling with trying to put together a video to teach people how to use the new system. I guess it is what it is at this point and we'll move on. I figure at this point I'm on the losing side of this argument, though I have (and continue to) heard plenty of folks who agree with my concerns. I am hearing myself (and many others) in the Reddit post 'complexity for complexity's sake'. Are we duplicating discussions on Reddit and here?ģ.

It presents UI/UX consistency issues though - see our post here on Reddit for a full explanation:Ģ. Originally posted by - we agree, that's really the ideal. It's something we'll absolutely continue to improve upon though - generally we're fairly with the overall 'systemic' workings of it, but more options/connectors/hub form factors are needed & will help it be more user-friendly for sure. We can't validate against them in some cases, and not in others - or only validate them after connections are made, as then it's a really fragmented/inconsistent experience. The idea ends up being the same as a hub basically, but it allows you to run them all into 1 length instead of needing to route them to a Hub - in essence that's all it is though, is a different-sized/shaped hub.Ĭonsider the points raised in our Reddit post above - that really is the main issue with intersections. What we'll probably do, and we took a step in that direction already, is to create a Placeable object that is a longer length of conveyor - and that allows maybe 15 connections from ticketing desks. It presents UI/UX consistency issues though - see our post here on Reddit for a full explanation: )īeing that I'm probably pretty biased, I'll refrain from offering my personal opinion - and I haven't personally played ACEO, though some on our team have, and we actually talked about it on our most recent live stream.- we agree, that's really the ideal. Nonetheless, my point is simply that we definitely care a great deal about the game. Probably a beyond-healthy level of caring, even it truly began as the game I wanted to play as a kid, and has evolved into probably more than what I could have handled as a kid. I can assure you that the developers of SimAirport (very) sincerely care for the game, as well.
