Logistic groups - basic maintenance missing

Post by LucasSmith7 »

Hi

Where can I find official instruction manual for this game? Like PDF file to read/print.
I'm unable to find following options.

Logistic groups list - place where can I list all logistics groups and do the following.

Rename logistic group - after that operation every occurrence of particular group will be renamed.
So far renaming makes copy of specified group and detach if from other places which is very bad.

Find locations of particular logistic group usage - I would like to know where group used.

Regards,
Lucas

I also do not understand, how logistic groups works. I can name some unnamed group in platform request list. But what next? I expected that I can select same list on other platform (not to create same transport list again), but found no place to click to see list of those groups.

In my opinion usage is quite intuitive.
- to globally rename a logistic group, press Ctrl-Enter after entering a new name. This is the popup hint if you hover over the green enter button.
- to use an existing logistic group in some device, there is always the "[no group assigned]" entry. Click edit and choose one of the existing logistic groups to use it instead of the no group entry.
- you're able to add an arbitrary number of logistic groups or entries with no groups

I don't see any way to see an overview list of logistic groups. If I have the need to see how some group is set up, I add this group to the device I'm currently working with but deactivate it, so it's listed but not contributing its content. Like this. I have 3 similar but distinct value sets, and I'd like to be able to lookup each of these. So I add all of them but deactivate the ones only for personal lookup:

Thanks for the ctrl+enter, I missed the tool tip. I'd like to also say I would like to be able to manage the groups without having to access the "Change logistic group" menu. And finding them would be very handy also. Would be a nice quality of life feature.

The closest to this currently would be the official wiki, which, unlike the API docs, is sadly — with its multimedia — too big to be included whole.

(But since 2.0 is only a month old, players (that requested editor access) don't seem to have written about Logistic Groups there yet ?)
