How do you all name your train stations? I was using load/unload for a while but wanted shorter names. So I switched to in/out where “in” is a resource input that is deposited by train. This causes some confusion though people thinking “in” means putting stuff in the train. I’ve also been floating the idea of on/off for putting things on or taking them off the train.

    I normally do [Function] - [Location/Base Name]:

    • Iron Pickup - SE
    • Iron Pickup - Northern Defense
    • Iron Dropoff - Main Base

    Gets more and more important as the number of bases increase.

      Doesn’t that mean your trains have to be set to a specific route? If you simply named them “Iron Pickup” then any available train would go there when open.
