I dont know if this has been talked about. But it becomes a real burden having to individually replacing large fleets. I hope there is some tool that makes replacing vehicles easy. OpenTTD I think offers the best way and would be cool for something like that in this game. Anyways looking forward to release.

That would be a great help… it’s a pain to try to replace 100+ locomotives one at a time… don’t EVEN get me started about the 500+ trucks and buses…

An easier way to replace vechiles is defentaly line needed. Perferable per line along side the return to depot and sell button. Would be good to have two options. One to replace with the same vechile as it currently is and one to replace with a choosen vechile.

Yes. This option would really help. Replacing 100+ trucks is not fun. Just let me select list of vehicles, select the replacement and that shoudl be it. all these vehicles will be sent to depot and sold. And new vehicles will be produced in that depot with same lines assigned. Then replacing 100+ vehicles would be a matter of minutes.

Hmm, sounds like a nice idea to replace all vehicles of a certain type with one click, though it doesn’t relive you of taking care with exchanging trains, because they can easily get stuck on their way to the depot.

Azrael: true. But still it would save a lot of time.

It should be possible even with trains. Just update the way how return to depot works. Instead of going straight to depot and getting stuck on crossings etc, just let the train follow the schedule until it is one crossing from the depot. I dont know how other people, but I have one depo next to each line. So as long as the train is following the schedule, it will pass next to depo eventually.

i know that not everybody has it build this way. So maybe two buttons “rerutn when possible” and “forced return” would be needed. One waiting for the depo to be one crossing away. Second leaving the schedule a pathfinding its way to nearest depo.

I only have trains and i don’t mind manually sending them to depo and selling them, but it would be nice to have a feature that makes the train/vehicle go to the depo, and get upgraded, and then return to the line. That would make things alot easier, especially for people who have micro management.
