Adds massive cargo ships to the game, that function similarly to trains. Also adds deep sea oil, oil platforms, tanker ships, train bridges and other water based content.
The Quality poles all have a supply area, so the only transmission only pole will be the normal quality floating pole.
When the supply area is set to 0, an undocumented feature removes the supply area visualization for the quality poles.
Through my testing, I found 0.01 will leave the normal pole with a 0 supply area, while the quality poles will then display their supply areas.
Hmm, a bug or a feature request? You were nice enough to chime-in on my interface request, and I thank you. Hopefully someday they will address it.
However, pretty sure since nothing is broken in-game, it will not be considered a bug.
My mod supports the floating pole, so I mention what I knew about it.
A pole with a supply range provides power to entities but is not visible to the player seems like a clear graphical bug to me. It's almost certainly a bug in the render code that checks if the prototype supply range is > 0 and doesn't check the quality bonus.
I agree, but I also think a pole.light, when not connected to power, should not illuminate. :D
I will defer to your opinion on this and file the bug report. Who knows, maybe it will lend more weight to the interface request.
It may very well be that the fix is to make poles with 0 supply distance always unaffected by the quality bonus. But either way the visuals should match the actual behavior.
Oh I thought it was a feature that poles with 0 supply range aren’t affected by quality (I have some very large poles in Power Overload that I’d like to not supply any area no matter the quality). Disappointed to hear that it’s merely visual.
I filed a bug report and yes, I did some "name dropping" there with the screenshot. Hoping that since it affects a popular mod like Cargo Ships, maybe they take a little more notice.
Good news, Rseding91 replied:
"Thanks for the report. I've changed it for the next release so quality will not increase the supply area if it was 0 to begin with."
