Northstar, 11 October: regional pickup, more buses, supply routes still open

Northstar stood above two million residents several times on 11 October and fell back below the mark in between. The building agent assigned pickup facilities to regions, extended a cemetery and set up two bus lines. Several road alternatives stayed previews because conflicts or incompletely known side effects blocked construction; freight supply and finances remain open.

Where the work lies

Population: above the mark again, but no lasting proof

The population readings were nearly two million in the morning and around 2.13 million in the evening. The difference is not a continuous daily gain, because restorations of older game states break comparability. The goal of a lastingly stable population is not yet signed off.

In the morning, free housing land was used differently. Two sub-areas, checked as completely empty, were switched to low-rent housing, and the rest stayed as a comparison area. A later probe showed a finished house with about 220 residents and working road, power, water and sewage connections.

These house counts must not be added up into a claimed net gain: origin, parallel moves, deaths and departures are not explained. Unemployment alongside many vacancies points to a combination of skills and actual access to work that still needs checking; it is no evidence of work refusal because of a particular tax.

Regional pickup: new orders, not just new target capacity

A western crematorium, previously used citywide, was assigned specifically to West Mitte pickup. In a comparison of about 450 seconds, four identical vehicles switched from a pickup order to a loaded return trip. The observation ends before a fully documented unloading and processing at the depot.

The site then received another garage. Its listed fleet and staff grew, and new vehicles received destinations in the responsible area. A second western site also got an extra garage; right afterwards its actual vehicles nearly filled its places.

In the east, one site was assigned to Mess O6 only and another to Mess O6 and Mess O7. The first site's waiting list rose during the probes and ended above its storage places; the second had clearly fewer waiting cases. New local orders are documented, lasting relief for either area is not.

Waste responsibilities changed regionally too: one recycling centre, and later a second, were assigned to Kaiser Nord pickup. In a late comparison five identical parked waste vehicles stayed parked, and no matching new pickup was documented for them. Old orders can keep running after a change of responsibility.

Cemetery: a concrete capacity bottleneck was fixed

A full cemetery could not accept further burials. A first, separately placed extension was not effectively tied to the parent building and was undone by a restore. An additional burial plot, built regularly on the site, then raised the read-back capacity, and intake worked again.

Two later probes documented further accepted burials, and nearly 300 places remained free at the end. This finite reserve is a local success, not a citywide all-clear for pickup reports.

Public transport: two new lines and a larger depot fleet

Bus 13 is a free day-and-night feeder between an industrial stop and the station area. Bus 14 came in the evening, also free. The number of waiting riders fluctuated and is no controlled comparison of effect; whether suitable workers actually reach their employers is not shown.

The new bus garage raised depot capacity. Later both bus depots held vehicles of their own with none parked, so the added capacity was no free reserve at that point.

For Bus 7, six possible stop orders were tested with native pathfinding. The existing circuit was the shortest and stayed unchanged.

Raw materials: offer, order and arrival remain different things

Cargo 4 linked the northwest to the western terminal, and Cargo 7 gained West as an intermediate stop between northeast and centre. Later the short Cargo 12 link followed, between a low-priced ore terminal and the centre. An actual train was observed with changing loads, including cotton; no ore was loaded in these probes. Building a link meant for ore supply is therefore no proof of ore delivery.

A new cotton farm became operational. Afterwards three previously recorded residential buildings with about 80 citizens were missing; their whereabouts are unknown. The fourth candidate stayed. This clearing has to stay visible when the support measure is judged. Other land expansions were reverted after unplanned building changes, and restored stock does not count as added support.

Two identical ore-buying firms showed a clear price drop in the afternoon and lost their cost warning. The improvement is documented for these firms, without isolated evidence of its cause or of a single unloading event.

Other buyers stayed above the cost threshold despite stock; one later case stood at about 8.2 against a warning threshold of 5. A loaded return or production can therefore occur while a cost warning persists.

Traffic, finances and performance

In the southern west, eight identical hearses stayed at the same x/z position between two close probes, and some of them returned loaded. That does not show uninterrupted standstill across the gap, but it shows a concrete return bottleneck. A proposed public-transport lane was not built: its preview returned only a small part of the affected change originals.

The finance pilot lowered the office tax and continues with defined review windows. Late in the day a separate budget probe showed a deficit per displayed game month, without credit. The desired treasury corridor and a sustainable balance stay open.

A single performance probe of about a minute and a half recorded roughly two thirds normalised process load. That is the load of the whole game process, not system-wide CPU use. Without a baseline and complete migration data, and with measurement offset, it gives no proof of optimisation and none for the CPU goal.

The independent performance record contains three explicitly documented gaps; their causes are unknown. It covers two process identifiers and seven game worlds. No continuous CPU or throughput comparison is formed across these limits or gaps.

Where things stand

All windows were recorded one after another and without control; restorations separate game worlds. The regular daily data delivery stays blocked because of six invalid source files, and this report builds no substitute series from them. The independent performance record for 11 October was transferred and verified; transfer is not yet a confirmed website publication.
