train out of fuel marker

Post by Iccor56 »

there is almost no way to see a train is out of fuel unless you zoom in on the mess of trains stuck in one spot.

When using a train based supply network everything grinds to a halt if one train is out of fuel at a key spot.

I would like to see a out of fuel symbol flashing or such on the individual train map in the trains dialog (upper right above map)

you still have to look (some global announcer just doesn't make much real world sense) but it will queue you in on the train that you need to go to in order to fix the problem.

When a train runs out of fuel it is a very serious matter. Of course it doesn't matter for idle trains, but any train on automatic means big problems for your train network. It definitely deserves a map marker.

Yup. On par with lack of electricity, which gets a map marker.
