Give trains a name

Post by Minbaru »

I have 9 trains running around the map collecting stuff, as trains dont have names it can be hard figuring out which train is doing what. Naming the locomotive (Iron train 1, coal train 2) would make logistics easier.

Actually locomotives do have names :) but you can see it only by hovering over locomotive. and you can't change it. like "Diesel Locomotive Money Longnose"

You can also do this using the console, without mods.

Hover over/select the train (so you can see the name on the right side) and enter:

Code: Select all

/c game.local_player.selected.backer_name = "Choo Choo"
