Let me collapse the conditions for a train station in train GUI

Post by manjhi »

For my taxi train, I have around 20 stations right now on the schedule. And this list is increasing as the base is expanding. All the stops have the same condition (circuit blank < 0) to make it wait indefinitely.

It would be nice if there was a way to collapse the conditions and have only station name per 1 row in the train schedule. Is that possible?

UI: Collapse Train Schedule

Post by Gloweye »

Make the train schedule collapsible, hiding wait conditions and the button to add more of those.
This isn't a problem for most trains, but for personal transport the list can get pretty long. I currently got about 20 destinations, and it all looks like this:

When collapsed, something like this would fit a lot more stations without having to scroll down:

I ask me, why I ever would need such a train. :)

This would be very handy for my ACME trains - trains that pick up and deliver a mixture of items for different tasks, like setting up a new mining outpost or a new reactor complex. Some of the conditions get a little complex because of the disjunctive normal form. It would be very convenient to be able to collapse the conditions, even if not everyone likes to run trains with long station lists and/or complex conditions.
