Change train conditions "Full/Empty cargo" to "Cargo full/empty"

Post by Hellpest »

TL;DR
Swapping the word order of the cargo full/empty wait conditions both puts them together and places them at the top of the conditions list.

What?
"Full cargo" and "Empty cargo" train wait conditions are separated in the alphabetical list of conditions by the fluid and fuel conditions. Changing these to "Cargo full" and "cargo empty" would place these conditions next to each other, and at least in English, at the top of the conditions list.

Additionally, the "Has cargo" condition could be changed to "Cargo in inventory", which would also group it with the other two conditions, and "item count" could be "Cargo count" - thought imo these are successively less necessary.

Current list:

Why?
The full/empty cargo conditions are used in the most basic train setups, and having them at the top of the list would make the setup process smoother for new players getting to grips with train conditions. The two conditions being closer together also makes them easier for all players to find, as currently you can see the word "cargo" only to focus on the wrong condition and have to re-search the list, especially if you don't immediately realise it's alphabetical.
