TL;DR
Pressing these keyboard shortcuts would order the train or space platform to immediately go to the previous/next station in their list.

What?
Importantly, you would NOT need to open the Locomotive view / Space platform hub to give that order.

Some gameplay implementation questions :

One in game solution is to offer a bypass lane to trains so they would not re-route through any station if they ever do re-route. If a deadlock occurs in your game when such event happen, i think unfortunatly it means there's something to fix with the station design. Maybe that's what you called "spur ...

Since 0.15.0 the Train path finding algorithm already incurs a 2000 Tile penalty for Train Stops. You can stack multiple Stops next to each other to increase this length, but if that is the ONLY path available then it will get used regardless. Increasing this value to “infinity” (preventing trains ...

A train that is stuck in traffic can re-route through an unrelated station as the pathfinding penalty from waiting grows every tick. This can cause unexpected deadlocks.

This doesn't happen often, but currently, the only way to guarantee no such behavior is to only use spur stations.

My suggestion ...

No, you simply need to insert the new stop at Fulgora, add the same waiting condition as Nauvis and maybe click manually once on the stop to force the platform to go to Fulgora it it has already left Vulcanus. You could also add a second stop at Vulcanus to fill up with belts for Nauvis and insert ...

Due to personal taxi train, the criteria of "only if the train is part of a train group" is neccesary. Meaning it does ore to smelter as a routine? this will be the type of train i'm talking about.

Situation 1: passager enters. But then clicks for the train to go to a termporary location. Insted of ...

TL;DR
If two trains have their wait condition satisfied at the same time the one at a higher priority station should end the wait first.


What?
Train wait conditions are currently checked in Train ID order (citation needed).
Instead check the wait conditions in (Station Priority, ...) order ...

TL;DR
Allow the copy/paste of individual wait conditions in train stops and ship stops.


What?
If you create a stop for a train or a ship, sometimes you want multiple conditions to be true in different and/or blocks before you allow that train/ship to leave.
For example, here I have a stop for my ...

... but “planets visited” could track route variety, helpful for seeing if a platform serves multiple destinations or is dedicated.

Distance traveled would be great for spotting inefficiencies, like whether a hub should be relocated or a new one added. Similar train mods helped me balance traffic better.

... buffer is irrelevant.

The idea "shipped anywhere with no cost" is incorrect - it costs rocket launches, which are quite expensive (relative to a train or a belt).


Need more resource production? Drop a generic outpost blueprint down, and it's instantly connected to your whole network.


Firstly ...

... valid, I disagree with the first. You still need to make items and get them into orbit, which is pretty expensive compared to putting stuff onto a train. The one area this doesn't apply is platforms that gather resources from space, but even this I don't see as a problem. Why not let players do it ...

... The platform always need reach the destination to trigger the interrupt, regardless the priority of interrupts you use.
Same thing would happen to train, but you can use a way (e.g. turret) to "disable the route" to control the train when they're going to a train station, already on the way.

... with no warning or reason. 2) I literally cannot fight some of these enemy camps. 3) The bases don't know what they need, can't request it from the train network, and it makes zero sense to set up an entire route to drop off random stuff when I can instead connect them to the drone network. Which ...

If you do have a solution like the one you describe as "perfectly fine train systems," I would be glad to see its blueprint so that I can evaluate it. Thank you.


Item pickup stations, item drop-off stations, trains that run that as a dedicated route. If your only goal is a train system that ...

Of course you can't find any depot calculation in my BPs because there's none. The system works on the train stops on both ends being open -- that's why it has such complicated rulings in the main delivery interrupt.

Train sits on the depot with empty ...

... up to the end, but it's immediately clear what 20s inactivity means in an interrupt driven setup with a universal loading station. It can make trains leave their unloading station with cargo. If such a train goes to the loading station, it can happen it's being loaded with a different kind of ...

All of these I can safely call the "bad design" and not "lack of proper system feedback".
This is, for example, my generic train system:

As you can see on the screenshot, it can be hard to spot the train on the left side under the route of another train. I think it should be quite easy to change the render order and always render trains above routes.
