Transport Tycoon Forums

I propose to add in the task "go to the depot", an additional option: "replace vehicle".
Add a list of autoreplace. If the vehicle type is not listed, then the vehicle is stopped as if by a stop command.

that's probably a neat idea, but how do you communicate this behaviour in 3 words or less?

Sorry, I can not understand the question.

i mean, if you want to add this behaviour you need to add it to the dropdown, and that dropdown text cannot be too long.

Now there are dropdown items: "Always go", "Maintain if needed", "Stop". Need to add: "Replace vehicle". Can this be incomprehensible?
In the former auto replacement, the same was written: https://wiki.openttd.org/Replace_vehicles

yes, it doesn't mention stopping if no replacement is defined.

There will be a message: the vehicle is waiting in the garage. Stop will be noticed.
Many features of the game it is difficult to understand without reading the wiki. Why not make useful tooltips? For example, the "go to" button has a very large help text.

When you mouse over a button, a info bubble appears. You can set up when this info bubble appears in the parameters menu.

Also a few points of how I do ...
If I want to replace my vehicles "quickly", I use the auto-replacement menu, and I send my vehicles into servicing. You can also do that on subgroup, if I want to replace a certain category of vehicles only.
Also, you can replace your vehicle in a depot : Using the auto-replacement feature, click on the yellow up-arrow in the depot (vehicle don't need to be stopped, it just needs to be in the depot)
