Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

SE - Assigning train stops with the space elevator?

Post by NineNine »

I'm playing Space Exploration, and I'm using the space elevator (love it, BTW). For trains that use the space elevator, and have stops both on the surface of Nauvis and in orbit, I cannot assign train stops easily.

If the new train is on the surface, I can only see surface stops. So, I assign the surface stops, and then run the train to the space elevator. When it stops in the middle of the space elevator (because it has no orbital stops assigned to it), I can then assign orbital train stops to it. The same thing happens if I create a new train starting in orbit.

Am I missing something obvious? Is there a way of creating a train either on the surface or in orbit, and assigning it stops both on the surface and in orbit without having to do it twice: once on the surface, and once in orbit?

There should be a little window with a search bar next to the schedule window. Pretty sure there you can type the zone name, and it will show you all stops on that zone.
