- Adjusted recency penalties to be softer and decay faster, with a maximum penalty of 40% for immediate revisits.
- Introduced a new method to estimate expected profit for a station based on passenger demand and relationship with the train owner.
- Updated edge score calculation to incorporate expected profit and travel time cost, enhancing routing decisions.
- Replaced direct deletion of railroads with dedicated methods in TrainStation for better encapsulation.
- Added a mapping for quick lookup of railroads by neighboring stations.
- Updated clearRailroads and addRailroad methods to maintain consistency in railroad management.
Implement fare-only updates for railroads and enhance client-side coloring
- Introduce fare tracking in RailroadLayer and update rendering logic to handle fare-only updates.
- Modify FxLayer to skip effects for fare-only updates.
- Add fare calculation and update logic in Railroad and TrainExecution classes.
- Update RailTile interface to include optional fare property for client-side use.
- Ensure significant fare changes trigger updates to clients for visual feedback.
- Update increment and decrement methods in Railroad to accept current tick for congestion calculations.
- Implement exponential moving average for congestion to adjust fare based on train density.
- Modify TrainExecution to pass tick information when managing train counts.
The new station-aware routing introduced a bug where train arrivals were being
double-counted and termination conditions were incorrectly classified as arrivals.
Problems fixed:
- targetReached() was called twice for successful arrivals: once in getNextTile()
when destination was reached, and again in tick() when no tile was returned
- Trains removed due to hop limit were counted as successful arrivals
- Trains stuck with no routing options were counted as successful arrivals
Solution implemented:
- Introduced MoveResult union type with explicit cases: "move", "arrived",
"hopLimit", "stuck" to clearly distinguish termination conditions
- Renamed getNextTile() to getNextStep() and changed return type to MoveResult
- Removed targetReached() call from navigation logic to prevent double counting
- Updated tick() method to use switch statement on MoveResult for proper handling
- Ensured recordTrainArrival() only called for actual destination arrivals
- Ensured recordTrainRemovedDueToHopLimit() only called for hop limit terminations
- Stuck trains are deleted without recording any arrival statistics
This ensures accurate train statistics tracking with the new routing system.
- Added search radius
- Updated several properties in TrainStation class to be readonly for better immutability and clarity.
- Introduced heat decay interval and factor for more flexible heat management.
- pre-computed decay factors avoiding Math.pow in critical paths.
- Enhance logging
- Refined routing logic
- removed journeyPreviousStation property
- removed RecentArrivals
- unbounded StationTraffic.heat -> score can now be negative
Replace fixed pathfinding with dynamic routing system featuring:
- Local greedy routing: Trains evaluate neighbors based on profit potential, traffic congestion, distance, and recent history
- Exploration capability: 10% randomness prevents suboptimal but discovers new routes
- Congestion avoidance: Trains naturally spread to less busy stations
- Loop prevention: Memory of recent visits prevents getting stuck
- Adaptive behavior: System responds to changing network conditions
- Enhanced journey tracking: Share complete route information instead of just start position
Includes BATMAN-style routing protocol (currently disabled) for future network-wide knowledge distribution.
- Interpret trainGold as per-level max gold and add trainGoldRefillTime with a 60-tick full refill baseline
- Add per-station passenger pool with lazy tick-based refill and proportional depletion on train arrival
- Make city and port train payouts depend on station level, owner relation, and current passenger demand instead of flat values
- Expose getPassengerDemandScore for future logic
- Update TrainStation tests for the new config and payout behavior

## Description:
This PR optimizes how the rail network looks up railroads connecting two
stations by introducing an O(1) neighbor→railroad map on `TrainStation`.
It also updates `getOrientedRailroad` and railroad deletion to use this
new API, avoiding repeated linear scans over all railroads attached to a
station.
### What changed
- **TrainStation neighbor→railroad index**
- Added `railroadByNeighbor: Map<TrainStation, Railroad>` to
`TrainStation` for quick edge lookup.
- Kept `railroads: Set<Railroad>` for iteration and existing APIs.
- Updated lifecycle methods to keep both data structures in sync:
- `addRailroad(railRoad: Railroad)` now:
- Adds to `railroads`.
- Computes the neighbor station (`railRoad.from === this ? railRoad.to :
railRoad.from`).
- Stores the mapping in `railroadByNeighbor`.
- `removeRailroad(railRoad: Railroad)` now:
- Removes from `railroads`.
- Removes the corresponding entry from `railroadByNeighbor`.
- `clearRailroads()` now clears both `railroads` and
`railroadByNeighbor`.
- Added `getRailroadTo(station: TrainStation): Railroad | null` to
retrieve the connecting railroad in O(1).
- **Use the new API in `TrainStation` and `Railroad`**
- `TrainStation.removeNeighboringRails(station)` now calls
`removeRailroad(toRemove)` instead of manually deleting from the set,
ensuring the map stays in sync.
- `Railroad.delete(game)` now calls `from.removeRailroad(this)` and
`to.removeRailroad(this)` instead of mutating the sets directly.
- **Refactor `getOrientedRailroad` to use O(1) lookup**
- Replaced a linear scan over `from.getRailroads()` with a direct
lookup:
```ts
export function getOrientedRailroad(
from: TrainStation,
to: TrainStation,
): OrientedRailroad | null {
const railroad = from.getRailroadTo(to);
if (!railroad) return null;
// If tiles are stored from -> to, we go forward when railroad.to === to
const forward = railroad.to === to;
return new OrientedRailroad(railroad, forward);
}
```
- Behavior is preserved:
- `getRailroadTo` returns the same `Railroad` instance that was
previously found by scanning `getRailroads()`.
- Direction (`forward` vs reversed) is still derived from the
`Railroad.from` / `.to` fields in the same way as before.
### Motivation
- `getOrientedRailroad` and upcoming logic both need to resolve “the
railroad between station A and station B” frequently.
- The old pattern (`for (const railroad of from.getRailroads()) { ...
}`) was:
- O(degree) per lookup,
- Repeated in multiple places,
- Harder to maintain as more features (like fare-based costs) touch this
code.
- Centralizing edge lookup in a dedicated `railroadByNeighbor` map makes
this:
- **O(1)** per lookup,
- Less error-prone (one source of truth),
- Easier to reuse from new systems (e.g. train pathfinding, fare-aware
logic).
### Impact / Risk
- **Public behavior:** No functional change in how railroads are
created, deleted, or oriented; only the lookup mechanism changed.
- **Internal invariants:** Correctness relies on:
- All railroad creations using `addRailroad` on both endpoints (already
true via `RailNetworkImpl.connect`).
- All removals (`Railroad.delete`,
`TrainStation.removeNeighboringRails`, `disconnectFromNetwork`) using
`removeRailroad` / `clearRailroads`, which this PR updates.
- **Tests:** Existing `TrainStation` tests still pass; they exercise
`addRailroad`, `removeNeighboringRails`, and `getRailroads()`, which
continue to behave the same from the outside.

Hi team,
I've implemented and locally tested the alliance-related changes
(including unit tests and some manual simulation with multiple browser
profiles).
Unfortunately I wasn't able to perform full end-to-end testing on the
live game server with two separate machines/accounts.
If someone on the team (or another contributor) can verify the alliance
flow with two real players, that would be greatly appreciated before
merging. Happy to hop on a call or provide any clarification needed.
Thanks!
## Description:
Fixed a race condition bug where donations (troops/gold) between human
players failed after forming an alliance. The issue was caused by a
one-tick delay in `AllianceRequestReplyExecution`: the alliance
acceptance logic ran in `tick()` instead of `init()`, meaning the
alliance wasn't created until the tick after the execution was added. If
a donation execution was added in the same turn as the alliance
acceptance, it would fail the `isFriendly()` check because the alliance
didn't exist yet.
**Root cause:** When human players formed alliances via reply, the
execution model delayed alliance creation by one tick, while bots called
`accept()` directly without this delay.
**Solution:** Moved alliance acceptance logic from `tick()` to `init()`
in `AllianceRequestReplyExecution.ts`, ensuring immediate alliance
creation and eliminating race conditions with donations.
**Changes:**
- Modified
`src/core/execution/alliance/AllianceRequestReplyExecution.ts` to
process alliance replies in `init()` instead of `tick()`
- Added comprehensive test suite `tests/AllianceDonation.test.ts` with 5
test cases covering donation scenarios after alliance formation (reply
and mutual request flows)
- All existing tests pass (323 total)

Description:
There is a boating exploit where players could repeatedly send and
retreat boats to effectively increase troop regeneration and maintain
almost double the max troop cap. This PR fixes#2388.
Summary
This pr adds a troop penalty to the boat retreats in
src/core/execution/TransportShipExecution.ts of 25 percent (currently
the same as land attacks, but may require fine tuning). this prevents,
to some degree, the ability to stockpile large amounts of troops above
your max cap.
Testing
I tested the change locally and confirmed that the troop penalty is
applied at the correct times and under the correct conditions, i.e. it
is only applied on successful retreat (applying on reteat initiation may
be confusing if you are told you have lost troops if the transport ship
never arrives anyway). The boating exploit is far less effective with
this fix in place.
Notes
- This is a exploit and does not introduce any new features.
- Existing game behavior outside the retreat penalty remains unchanged.
- The attack message is the same as the land attack, so the translation
should already be present.

The alliance icon is NOT shown because it's already on the left side of
the alliance timer.
### Why is this change needed?
Sometimes you can't quickly find the nametag of a player on the map.
Especially if a player's territory is scattered around the map, maybe
even on several small islands.
But you still want to know if the player is AFK, has a traitor debuff,
etc.
So it's very useful to get this information by just hovering over a
player instead of needing to search for the floating nametag.

## Description:
See PR https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO/pull/2203
It was reverted. This unreverts it, with an added fix for boat troops
not getting returned to owner. And small comment updates. And a const
for boatOwner to re-use.
The added bugfix is check for this.sourceTile === null in the retreat()
function in AttackExecution. A boat attack always sets removeTroops to
false because the troops were already removed from owner troops when the
boat departed. They don't have to be removed again in AttackExecution
init, when the boat lands and the attack starts. But at the end of the
attack, in retreat() in AttackExecution, the starting/boat troops still
need to be returned to the owner. That's why even if removeTroops is
false, when sourceTile is not null (only when it's a boat attack) we add
back the troops to the owner.
