Hi

Is there a way to automatically set or change color of a train station?

My goal is to set a station color based on a blueprint parameter and let train colors change by the vanilla "Use destination train stop color" setting.
If it is already possible could you please point me to the correct way of doing it?

I searched the mod forum, but haven't found anything to my taste.
Closest one is Automatic Station Painter with Automatic Train Painter, but this works the other way around. It colors trains based on the contents of their inventory which is then set to the station they arive to / leave. So moving trains with no cargo have all the same color, but I would like to see where they are heading to.

I was also trying to find a mod that would allow me to chage color based on circuit signal, bit didn't find anything.

Train stations will automatically adopt the color (and train limit) of stations with the same name when you rename them. Haven't seen anything letting you change the color in a blueprint or circuit function.

I don't think thats true

It might only apply when renaming stops with no custom color already set.
