Copy/Paste Train Schedule in Trains List

Post by Usul »

How about Shift+Rightclick and Shift+Leftclick on a thumbnail in the Trains list to quickly copy/paste their schedules?

I have found it a bit tedious to make mass alterations to many trains. Is there currently no other way (in vanilla) than entering each individual train UI to make the same change to a schedule?

Excellent idea. Chainging/ adding stations is associated with much tedious work of manually copy and pasting mostly the same conditions. Using bp for that is mostly useless.

I think you can copy and paste them already with shift-mouse click, just like with assemblers and many other tools, no?

Yes, on the train directly you can, that means you have to jump around a lot on the map to locate the trains. Would be nice to be able to do this "all in one place".

I'm not 100% sure, because I didn' use it for long, but I think https://mods.factorio.com/mod/TheFatController enables to copy the schedules without running. Still need to open up every train by hand...

I'd like to be able to copy/paste train schedule *elements* in the UI.

Let me copy/paste item types in conditions. Let me copy/paste whole conditions or groups of conditions. Let me drag conditions from one station to another. Let me "blueprint" sample routes. Let me right click to ZERO or clear a condition field.
