Newb Question about Railways

[TheEisbaer]

So I just looked into the train system and I got 2 questions.
- Can you set more time for a train stop than 200(i think) ?
- Can you let the train wait till the trailers are empty (or full) before it starts again or can you just set the time?


And 2 off-topic question:
How can you activate the time in the upper left corner? (I saw it in videos)
Is there a way to see how much FPS i have without 3rd party software?
Thanks in advance

usually the trains got 1k storage, that takes with my upgrades around 35sec to unload) just stand next to it and count
so letting it wait for more then 200 or whatever the max is would be useless. (if the ruler is on the right thats kinda the max, you could just create a 2nd stop 5meter further with another max stop if that helps)

- no clue about the time or the fps might be in the settings as a hotkey somewhere.

The first is eventually possible with Lua scripting. The second not. Many discussions about that, I would say it is planned...

Why would you want the train to wait more than 200 seconds?

i am not sure, but i think you can increse the time by setting the same stop a second time in the list so tthe time will be added. like this:
stop 1 200s
stop 1 100s
will result in stop 1 300s
