[2.0.9] Pump to rail connection looks ugly

Post by Todor »

Fluid wagon can have 3 pumps connected and here you can easily see it:

But here yellow rectangle is not aligned with the wagon and choosing where to place 3 pumps is a bit confusing

It looks like now it highlights the adjacent rail. I think it would be better to highlight thirds of the wagon.

was just going to report the same thing for 2.0.11. so still an issue with latest update. it seems like this is just a graphical issues with the yellow highlight on odd numbered wagons. the pumps are connecting correctly.

I see where the confusion is coming from. This indicator is not showing which specific tank of a fluid wagon the pump is going to connect, this indicator is actually showing which rail piece the pump is going to attach. Maybe i should get rid of it since showing specific rail piece is useless and correlating pump with train visualization is annoying as there could be multiple train stops in range and it would have to draw once for each of those visualizations.
