Train station grouping

[sebas]

Like most players my main train station consists of a lot of parallel stations (main 1, main 2, etc). However because each of these parallel stations are independent of the others it can happen that a train is waiting for one of the stations to open up while others are free, which causes unnecessary delays.

Therefore I thought it would be a good addition if it was possible to group parallel stations, in which the game will check which of the blocks containing the parallel train stations are free and then send the train to a free station. Especially when using logistic robots to unload the trains, it does not matter at which parallel station a train is unloaded.

If you give multiple train stations the same name the train will look for a free one automatically. So just remove the numbers and call them all “main” and it should work.
