Add train track zone sections visualization.

3 votes

It would be very useful to be able to visualize all the multiple individual track section with a color system that either highlights each section by a unique random color or with a solid line that traces the middle of all the tracks of each section with a color. (or any other way that seems fit to the game design).

The game already has a similar (section tracing visualization) when looking at a train navigation behavior overlay that show the route of its destination.

I've played a lot of Factorio and its train system before coming to Captain of Industry. I'm still new to CoI's trains logic, however I must say although its a really good start and love the ability to have long train with small station, the learning curve is pretty steep and not super intuitive. The in-game guide gives the basic but lacks details on more complex trains and what each options actually do (the conditions etc.)

TLDR:
A train overlay that shows separate train section similar to Factorio's signaling overlay. I've attached I picture with my crappy art skill trying to show my idea.

P.S. - For the Dev

I'm sorry to seem pushing Factorio, I've seen many post bringing up Factorio. I just want to mention I'm not comparing the two games and saying it should be more like the other. Just like many we are coming from many of hours in Factorio looking for a new game. Being cursed with old habits we can stumped when things are not behaving like we expect. You've created an amazing game that has unique mechanic no other factory game. <3
