Factorio Forums

Every time you place a train stop, the menu for the new stop says "There are no trains". This was driving me crazy as I had lots of trains! I eventually figured out this means "No trains are currently assigned to stop here." Even "this stop has no trains" would be better.

And my morning chuckle when I searched to see if this has already been reported: [Edit: I told my husband about the search; he said it is obvious that the search would not report any results, because "There are no trains!!!"]

That's kinda funny, never really noticed that before.

All your trains belong to us.

There is no spoon.



but yeah, a better message could be used. With 0.17 around the corner, this is probably an ideal time for that to happen too.

The real bug is that the forum search ignored the most important word of your query.
I always wondered why forum search in general has to suck that hard. The problem is not specific to Factorio or gaming forums. You can go to any forum on the internets and their search function will just suck hard. Forum search seems to always get that extra shot in the head...

The search only worked like this for two days, now every word larger than two characters is indexed. Searching is usually bad because it takes a huge amount of computation to fulfil only a single users request.

Getting back on topic,

+1 to fixing the wording.
My suggestion "there are no trains assigned to stop here."

Right now it is "this stop has no trains", I wanted to keep it short.

Thank you Bilka! As Yoda would say: trains there are no, but totally awesome you are

Yoda's sentence structure might seem odd to use English speakers, but consider that other languages have different sentence structures, and it doesn't feel that odd. You can just assume that whatever his native language is uses a structure different to ours.
