Default temporary stop condition "passenger not present"

Post by NotRexButCaesar »

When making a temporary station(control click from train menu) the default condition is "time passed" this can easily lead to accidentally letting the train leave before you get out. If the condition was "passenger not present", the train would only leave when you got out.

We have several suggestions

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=67778 Temporary Stations = Manual train mode
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=67394 Default Train waiting condition for the new temporary Station
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=80164 Train's CTRL-click Temporary Stop behavior

All incompatible... ;)

In my opinion (and some others e.g. viewtopic.php?p=411548#p411548) the default action when arriving at temporary stop should be player configurable.

But the simplest case would be to clear that stop and turn train in manual mode.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

I was just going to make this suggestion again when I went to search for it and found I had already made a suggestion. I think that making the default condition configurable is the best choice.

The best possible situation would be adding logic to the stops (exempli gratia: passenger not present then passenger present)

Switching to manual can be one of the options presented to players.

Another suggestion going really well with switching to manual mode would be to have an option to automatically open the schedule when entering a train. That'd make trains a very convenient transport system.
