Linked Train stations

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Linked Train stations

Post by Ranakastrasz »

Add option to have two train station objects with the same name, or else linked together.

Any train assigned to stop at one is able to stop at the other one instead if the first one is unavailable or too far away. It may chose them in some order or randomly.


The purpose here is to allow you to, say, have 4 iron unload stations, and 16 iron trains with largely different track lengths, and not have to worry about having the four that take station one showing up and having to wait, while 3 other stations are free.

Already possible -- rename two or more stations to the same name.
