Stations configurable to ony allow a train every X days

Timetables are too complex and to difficult to learn. Not to mention time consuming. We need a feature to make spreading the trains much simpler.

A station should be configurable to only allow one train to leave every X days, this would be a lot more simple and intuitive.

For instance, if the player configures X to 50, if a train arrives at the station and finishes un/loading 40 days after the last train left, it would be held for 10 days.

Timetables are too complex and to difficult to learn. Not to mention time consuming. We need a feature to make spreading the trains much simpler.

OpenTTD 14 (RC3 out now, full version around April 1) introduces a new feature, "unbunching" which will do just that. Schedule a stop at a depot with an "unbunch" order. This is available with or without timetables, and available to all vehicles.

See https://www.openttd.org/news/2024/02/10/unbunching for more details.

Alternatively, if you're using the JGR Patch Pack fork of OpenTTD, you can enable automatic timetable separation.
