Blueprinting train stops should blueprint stop name

Post by factoriouzr »

Blueprinting train stops should blueprint stop name. Ie if you name a stop "iron" then blueprint it, when you put it down, it should still be called "iron" instead of being assigned a new random name.

If there is concern that this will alter already running trains and they may decide to go to the new stop because it matches an existing name, the stop should have a checkbox or toggle to enable or disable it, and when pasted it should start disabled. But most importantly train stop name should be blueprintable.

Would definitely need a checkbox. I don't want to blueprint an unloading area, then whack that sucker down somewhere else only to have half my trains diverted there instead.
Money might be the root of all evil, but ignorance is the heart.

Any update on this? This feature would be incredibly useful especially in conjunction with disabling stops with the circuit network.

Also when can we blueprint trains and cargo wagons?

great, thanks.

Is that checkbox going to be remembered along with all the other checkboxes with the hopefully added feature of re-taking blueprints and keeping their icons, names, and checkboxes?

Not likely.

Can you make it so it is as I predict this will become an issue even more then it is now as more things are being blueprinted.

This is such a simple, easy feature to add and would improve the quality of life of the players.
