City management bad AI

[saamohod]

_1. Mod version (i.e Date - 4/23):_4-30

_2. Mod list (if using Vox Populi only, leave blank):_FlagPromotions

3. Error description:

It seems there are issues with city governor AI still . "Food focus" doesn't work properly, see the screenshot. The 6-food tile is consistently ignored in favor of crappy 2-food or 1-food/1-prod tiles.

EDIT: Also see the juicy coastal tiles being ignored!

Savegame attached.

I cant replicate your consistent issues with this, my guess is a mod conflict is messing with management flavors.

[saamohod]

I realize it is not your duty to know, but could you guess which mod(or mods) is to blame? AFAIK all these mods are endorsed by Vox Populi (i.e. are considered compatible according to mods compatibility thread)

[LoneGazebo]

I don’t know the code sets of other mods like those unfortunately.

[deadstarre]

the map script? nothing else looks even remotely relevant

last time you posted i was thinking to myself it looked as if your city simply didn't know those plots existed

@deadstarre

Interesting. Could it mean that one of the most popular and most praised Tectonic Map Script is screwing up Vox Populi?

[saamohod]

I'm no programmer and have next to zero clue how modding is made, but... Could it make things clear if some of you guys who know what to do, could you just load the save I provided and check it up? I mean, if you load it and confirm that governor AI behaves oddly (as seen with the Orleans city and some others), can you track the bug down?

[LoneGazebo]

I'm not going to track down 20+ mods, so you'd need to zip up your mods folder and share it. I just simulated a setup similar to yours and I didn't have the same issue. Are you per chance using IGE or another mod to give yourself tiles?

[TechpriestEnginseer]

The problem is that we are unable to reproduce it. It's very difficult to load up the save and load up the mod because of how the load order can differ even if we have the same mod and the same version. Thus what many developers tries to do is try to replicate the situation and analyze how the replication and your original scenario produce the same result.

[saamohod]

Are you per chance using IGE or another mod to give yourself tiles?

Nope. Not a clue what IGE means. Just the mods shown in the screenshot (most of which are graphical and animation mods, apart from QuickTurns and Tectonic Map Script, as far as I can judge).

The Mods.zip

Here is the zipped mods (apart from VP folders). Note that some of them are ticked off before the mod loading so that only those mentioned in the screenshot are activated.

[LessRekkless]

If you're able to consistently reproduce your problems yourself, then the steps to look for the bug should be to start fresh and individually add each mod until you start to have issues again.

I apologize if this is off topic but, according to Planet Generator:

Built on top of Cephalo's Perfect World 3 (well, my updated version of it) with code inspired by Tectonic Map Script by Haftetavenscrap and Tectonics by LDiCesare.

Does this mean that Perfectworld3, Tectonics and Planet Generator would be susceptible to these problems if they share similar code base?

[ridjack]

My wife and I both use Tectonic and have both seen the same issue consistently. Obviously does not confirm anything, but it at least credence to the possibility, particularly since she and I don't really have too many other mods in common.

[LoneGazebo]

It is possible. @infixo May be working on it.
