Current implementation being tested with Hawke in a multiplayer game:

• Setting created to disable cost on button usage (buttons work as of 0.1.5, no charge, by default)

• Cabeese now have a new load type of Crew Hours. Each caboose, regardlesss of model, has an 8 hour load slot that actions will be deducted from, when the buttons are clicked (if the settings are enabled).

  • The cabeese can be "refreshed/loaded" with more hours by parking them on any team track, repair track, ~passenger stop~.

    The cabeese do not utilize way bills, they auto load like passenger cars when spotted on the appropriate track spans.

  • The caboose must be at rest for 30 seconds to initiate the refrill process.
  • The refill rate is ~8 hours (full caboose load refresh) within 30 in-game minutes.
  • This is simulating your crew taking a break, using the rest room, etc.

• Cost of buttons is as follows:

  1. 1 minute, per car in consist the action is happening on, regardless of action taken on the car (the crew has to walk the line inspecting).
  2. that 1 minute per car is applied to the AI Engineer Financial Ledger entry (an AI has to eat, right?) and subtracted from the nearest Caboose's crew hours, if there is one that has sufficient hours to cover the task.
  3. If there are no cabeese in the vicinity, a 1.5x multiplier is applied to the time cost, simulating the locomotive crew hustling up and down the tracks.

     example, a 17 car train, takes 17 minutes of time from the caboose's Crew Hours and also adds to the AI Engineer running daily total usage, 17 minutes of time taken. Without a caboose nearby or one having sufficient resources, it gets the 1.5x multipler, making it 26 minutes of time taken (Math.Ceil, ledger works in whole dollars :D) An hour of AI Engineer Brakeman time is code to be $5 in StateManager.PayAutoEngineerWages.

• If setting enabled, each button click iterates the consist, checking if the following and short circuiting on the first one it finds. if multiple are found nearby, it attempts takes the closest one to the car that initiated the button click from it's inspector.

  1. Car linked to inspector, is itself a caboose, with sufficient crew hours
  2. Any car in the consist is a caboose, with sufficient crew hours
  3. any cars near the consist are a caboose, with sufficient crew hours
