[1.1.70] Trains path visualization covers up other trains

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[1.1.70] Trains path visualization covers up other trains

Post by JasonC »

Please draw the orange trains on top of the red path line. Or at least make them wider than the path line.

This is the only reasonably convenient source of information about what train may be blocking your path, aside from getting out and walking or trying to glean it from signal state colors on the map.
Took a break from 0.12.29 to 0.17.79, and then to ... oh god now it's 1.something. I never know what's happening.

Example 1:

Three trains ahead of mine (front one is stopped), however, at least they are in range of the minimap, so not the best example:

Example 2:

One train stopped at mystery location ahead of mine:

Not possible to tell where any other trains are along the path of your current train due to orange train cars being complete obscured by path line.

Note: I don't recall this always being the case. If I find where I stuck my last copy of 0.x I'll let you know if it's a regression.

Thanks for the report however I don't think this will be changing any time soon if ever.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
