can we change the train limit default option from 0 to 1?

+1

1 is a good default for small stations. And 0 is used very rarely (graceful shutdown of outpost).

I would like to keep it as it is, because as new player I would wonder, why no train come to that station and as advanced player I need always to change it, probably never keep it to 1.

I do keep most of my early game stations with a limit of 1; especially outposts. This makes more sense when using two way track.

Btw default is not 0 but unlimited.
Please leave it as it is.

It is really simple to change but i am not going to change it. This value was intentionally choosen as there are multiple cases to get into that default value:
1/ enabling trains limit checkbox - maybe could be changed to 1 but 1 is so arbitrary i do not like it
2/ disabling circuit controlled "set trains limit" - here i definitely do not want to keep old value of circuit network nor disabling the limits at all. Here i want a nice stable value of 0
3/ disconnecting copper wire (directly or indirectly by removing other entity) - here i also do not want to keep old value or disabling the limit. It is 0
4/ placing blueprint with train stop and circuit wires around. When rails and train stop is placed but there is no wire yet, i do not want trains to be arriving yet so it has to be 0.

Default of 0 will stay no matter what.
