Mega-cities and "too many stations/loading areas"

[noelc]

I have tried creating a scenario with large cities (pop circa 500,000) and on playing the scenario I have found that I am unable to create enough stations to serve the entire city. I have seen previous posts on here about creating large cities, and assumed that there would be no hard limit on the number of stations in a town. Is this parameter hard-coded or configurable?

Its a hard-coded limit on the number of standard station names. Rename some and it will fix the issue.

Thanks, that worked just fine. I should have thought of that!

this is something you just have to do in the new southern england scenario the limit on standards comes very quickly

Cant you just easely fix this by letting the game add numbers to the end of a standard stationname? This of course would not be verry elegant, but its better then having to rename stations.

Another idea would be to combine station names like: central east or east woods.
Hmmm, doesn't look that elegant either. A well, just brainstorming here .

as i deal mainly with freight etc... i create a scenario with minimal towns... and well i run out of stations quickly... this would b a great way to get around this... and A LOT less tedious with over 120 stations...
