Edit any of these to override the preset. The 5 sliders are the building-occupancy and check-in/out fractions used by the rate calculator.

Advanced building / dispatch settings

Number of cars Cabin capacity (slots)

Random seed

Directed boarding at lobby (totem panel) Off = FIFO at the lobby. The CRISIS capacity rule cannot be enforced without it.

CV cameras: Optimized side has hall + cabin cameras (sees true party size and luggage). Current side has no cameras and assumes one passenger per call.

Priority rescue (optimized only)

When a guest is "turning red" we bypass sector ownership and dispatch the closest car. CV-aware: larger groups get rescued sooner.

Base threshold (solo guest)

120 s

Group discount per extra guest

25 %

Discount cap (group size)

Rescue threshold by group size

Sector resizing (optimized only)

Floors that queue up appear "more demanding" to the optimizer, which reallocates them a smaller, faster-cycling sector. Higher bias = sectors react faster to live wait, lower bias = sectors stay closer to the predicted-demand partition.

Wait-bias strength

0.010

Warmup period

300 s

Warmup: don't engage sectoring until enough demand has been observed. CostBased + rescue handle the first cycle so noisy sector partitions don't lock cars into bad assignments.
