I didn’t see anything under UI for managing a large number of lines. Once a large map is heavily developed, it becomes a huge chore to scroll through the list of lines. Any of the following would help:
- Make the scroll bar clickable, so I can grab it and pull it down rather than madly using the scroll wheel;
- Make Page Up and Page Down work on menus, so I can scroll more quickly;
- Let me start typing the name of a line (I always start bus and tram lines with the name of the city they run in) and then have that filter the lines that are displayed
It still needs some work, though.
In in my current game (large map), I have about twenty cities connected, with about ten bus and team lines in each for a total of 200-ish road vehicle lines (maybe 50 tram and 150 bus).
Whenever a new bus is available, and I want to set all the bus lines to autoreplace with the new bus rather than the previous model, I have to:
- Open the line up
- Click on “Vehicle replacement” (since clicking the auto-replace icon in the lines window doesn’t go straight to this tab)
- Click “Set vehicle”
- Click the new bus
- Click “Buy Vehicle”
- Close the line
That makes a total of 900 clicks to switch each line over.
The devs should add a feature to switch all lines of a certain type (bus, tram, truck) to a new auto-replacement vehicle at the same time.
Alternately, the options on the “Vehicle Replacement” tab of a line’s window could be moved to the overall Lines window as additional columns, so that changing the vehicle would require only two clicks per line.
