circuit network in train overview (with example pics)

Post by nuv »

(screenshots from a modded save, dont mind if it looks a bit different than usual)

The Trainstation overview has a list of trains headed to each stop.
It doesnt have, what i'd consider handy info, the current circuit network values.
Image
In this example it would be the current amount of ore at each stop.

If the concern of 'it would get cluttered pretty quickly' comes up, you could let people choose what value to output for each trainstop 'group'
something like this (red being where to pick, and green being where it shows the value):

Is this only upposed to show trains at stations?

Shouldn't it also show trains driving to the station with the distance left to travel and weather they are blocked by a signal?


The train info might also be left out because you should have to place a radar to see details of what the train is doing at the station.

It does also show what you mentioned.

I'm not quite sure about what you mean by 'the train info might be left out' considering this is about circuit networks

sorry, the station (circuit) infos.

Open the map and compare opening a station near you and one outside of radar coverage.

I am still not quite sure what this has to do with anything related to my original post but sure.

Here's the two stops(both with constant combinators to supply a signal):

And here's the same two stops in the overview(top left and bottom right):

As expected, the exact same thing because its not being shown.
