I'm baffled. Why do you have to use the callback "in every situation" instead of just setting the refit cost property? Can you give more detail, or examples of what the problem is?

As I wrote. Refit cost depends on the price cost base for a particular vehicle of the same "feature", e.g. "ship" (only for "trains" there´s a distinction between locomotive and coach/wagon). Hence it´s all the same for every "type" of ship (giant oil tanker, small fishing boat). Which might not fit the ideas of newgrf developers (most of them would use a callback to get around it in this situation).

But it would be far easier (and would help to avoid the callback) by making the refit cost depend on the purchase price (different per vehicle) than on the price cost base (fixed for all vehicles of the same "feature").

andythenorth closed the ticket.

Reason for closing: Won't implement

The refit cost cb exists and can solve this. IMHO, we have enough places with multiple ways to accomplish same goal, I'd rather not add more.

Flyspray clean up, so closing this. Discuss in irc if you think I should reopen.
