New tool for track upgrade
Posted: 22 May 2019 21:27
We have lot of new track types, but still same coarse tool for track upgrade, which is useful for global upgrading from let say normal track to maglev,
but nightmare if someone want to upgrade main line to higher speed while keeping parallel narrow gauge intact.
It is even possible now to have two different track type on one tile (if they are diagonal), but still not possible to upgrade one of them.
Therefore I propose a new, alternative tool (either additional button on track construction or different mode of existing button chosen by pull down menu).
This tool would work similar to semaphore placement (hope that existing code can be utilised):
with more precise control on mouse pointing, and what is more important, if ctrl is pressed and you drag mouse, all tiles along line would be converted,
until wye/crossing or different track type is spotted.
