Rails signals placed on tracks automatically December 22, 2009, 01:52:22 pm HelloI have a few ideas that could be useful for managing supply lines and construction of large networks-While building very long rail lines it is very annoying to manually place signals once every few tiles for the trains to move smoothly on a conjested line. Would it be possible to "click and drag" the signals? Just as placing overhead electricity lines I could choose the starting and ending point and the signals would be placed automatically every 2,3 or 4 tiles (distance between signals could be set m,anually in the simuconf.tab)-I have many hubs in my network next to few different factories which have to be supplied and the finished goods shipped to stores. I can check how many units arrived and how many departed in the station chart. Would it be possible to have a graph that would show how many of each good has been delivered/sent? This would allow to add additional lines to meet the demant and thus to make the factories work constantly.The above idea would be nice on a global scale. It would be good to know what the total traveled number consists of (how many p****angers, mail, certain goods)Anny comments or ideas?ET Quote Selected

I love ST but it eats enough of my time now and I am afraid that simutrans experimental will be too much for me to handle (I'm not IT literate )What about the second request? Would it be hard to develop? Quote Selected
