Copy/Paste Station names and train schedules from the worldmap

Post by eradicator »

What?

I want to be able to use shift+left/right click to copy/paste station settings and train schedules without zooming in onto each one individually.

Why?

Because it's faster than zooming in on each station individually ;).

There's a mod i use called "Automatic Train Station Names" which allows you to set a defualt name for every new station getting rid of the random names :)

I’m not sure that’s the point of the OP’s suggestion….

You can make a blueprint on the map with ctrl+c and then place it assuming you have radars coverage of the target. Might be hard to hit the station though if zoomed out and you only include the station in the blueprint.
