Max_time_step not computable

It is impossible for the participants to compute the max number of time steps from pickle files if they do not have the appropriate parameters used for generating the pickle file:

Actually, I find the max_time_steps formula to be a bit incorrect. When I generate local tests with different number of agents and different number of cities (starting from the example from the repository), I sometimes see the simulation ending earlier than expected. After running more such tests, it seems obvious that the actual formula is:

max_time_steps = int(4 * 2 * (env.width + env.height + number_of_agents / number_of_cities))

So the last term is only 20 when the ratio of agents to cities is 20. I don’t seem to find how to get the number of cities, and I also can’t find a function which returns the number of time steps (without being passed the actual ratio agents/cities as an argument).

I would really like to know the maximum number of time steps when making decisions - can you please suggest a way to achieve this?

We should update this funciton and/or pickle file saving to resolve this issue.
