Show train count in the Trains GUI

Post by QGamer »

Summary
In the top of the Trains GUI, show the player the number of trains they have.
Example: “There are 12 trains.”
What?
This picture is an edited screenshot of the game that shows what I mean:
1000 words describing what I mean

Why?
Sometimes a player wants to quickly figure out how many trains they have. It can be a measure of the size of their factory.

Good idea. And when searching this number changes, depending on how many you found.

Total amount of trains in the 'trains' tab above the minimap

Post by Voske_123 »

Hello,

Is it possible to add a total amount of trains in the 'trains' tab above the minimap?
I see that in every other tab you can see how many trains are going to a station etc, but i can nowhere find the total amount of trains i have on the map.

Kind regards
