+1 for a waypoint system. I’ve had the exact same problem with lines merging after adding a crossing via switches.
I’ll amend my original idea to say there should be two buttons that are on every vehicle window (and maybe even popup with the “old equipment” notifications):
Replace and Sell
Replace: Would give you the same interface for buying that type of vehicle from the appropriate depot. Just click the vehicle you want and the old one drives to a depot to sell itself, then the replacement is bought and applied to that line. That’s only 2 clicks – 1 to click the button, 1 to choose the replacement.
Sell: Drive the vehicle to the nearest depot and sells it. Same functionality as the button that already exists for the line as a whole. Why the same button isn’t available “per vehicle” is beyond me.
That would make it much easier to replace vehicles, and gives the player more control than a fully automated solution, yet is no where near as tedious. And if you don’t want to replace them all (as has been pointed out), you can easily choose which to replace and which to sell.
@hert That would work too. Honestly, anything would be an improvement.
I don’t see why you need to be the fastest option to “keep the job” – it would make more sense for the Mine to ramp up production and supply BOTH demands. I mean if you were running the Mine, that would just mean more profit…
Trains on the same line will all use the same platform. Hopefully the devs “fix” this – technically it’s not broken, but it seems counter-intuitive.
@Varana: Wow! It sure looks like you managed to pull off exactly what I’m talking about. Not sure why I’m having such a hard time getting it working. Back to the drawing board. But seeing it work is very heartening!
Got it. It would be nice to have some sort of Train-to-Truck transfer mechanism. I’ve certainly had plenty of factories way up in a mountain where is doesn’t make sense to build a train. Would be nice to deliver materials/goods via train to an intermediate location (like a warehouse) then have a truck take it from there. Maybe in the future or with a mod. Time will tell…
