Station name Randomizer

[Darkhound]

Would it be possible to have a button give a station a random name? Currently when blueprinting a station the station automatically gets the same name, and I don't always have the station for the same purpose.

There's a button for including the name or not.

I realize that, but when you use the copy/paste feature it automatically copies the name with it.

That detail was missing. Hm...doesn't look like it can be modded either.

Press shift when copying something to get the blueprint dialog where you can turn on/off channels. Note: the defaults with shift are to exclude station names.

As an extension to this request though I would like to have a middle ground to keep station names and totally random names. Specifically stations with the same name in the original should have the same random name after paste. And maybe make the names not so random. So "Iron Plates 2" would become "Iron Plates 5" (because 3 and 4 already exist). Simple algorithm would be to add "2" if the name doesn't end in a digit and increase number if it does. Repeat till name is not already taken.

I can understand the confusion
