My little fire problem
Heyho emf,
sorry if i am annoying you but i have done a little investigation stuff :D There is this modding tool mod thingie in the workshop.
And you can see the exceptions with the ingame debug console :)

Ok lets start with the test setup. The only activated mods are your mod, unlimited money(because testing) and the modding tool. Then i created a map without fire departments and the buildings are as close as possible together.

First of all i got my first little spreading^^. Only a few buildings (4-5). Not an entire house block. And there was another of this kind. BUT VERY VERY RARE!!!

And when there was a fire I often saw this ( only occures if there is a fire on the map, but not always):

There are very many of this exception when this occures (not only one).
Then i built many fire departments so that there won't be any fires and played for a while without any exception. They only occure when there is a fire.

Then i tested it without your mod for the same amount of time. And this message never occured.

What do you think?

Greetings
-Roger

PS: I thought a post here is more overseeable than the comment section :3

Thanks for the testing! I'm aware of that exception happening when you zoom in close. It used to cause the flickering bug, now it doesn't flicker but the exception still occurs. It's caused by the modifications to the pedastrians, so shouldn't haven anything to do with your fire issue :)

Have you tried burning down high density high level buildings? I think those spread a lot more since they take longer to burn down.

Hmmm ok nice to know ;)

I will look into the high density and report back :)

Soooooo.... I am done researching.^^
Made a little collection what happened after over 30 minutes of waiting on speed 3. (removed/disabled all fire departments and the smoke detector policy).

In the picture are all zones with their burned buildings. Orange means burned down alone and red means that the fire spreaded or it occured at the same time.

There is one zone (marked in the high density commercial picture) where always a fire will pop up after a little while when i bulldoze and rebuild it. And it will spread the same amount every time. Very crazy :D

Also while leveling up the city i had another little hotspot in the industrial district. This fire burned for several years xD. They put out a few fires and wanted to put out the next and then the buildings light up again ^^

But only these 8 buildings it didn't spread further. Quite funny^^

btw. I really wondered that there are not many fires for that amount of waiting :D But the spreading itself works. It tends to like industry.
