DetailsWith too many vehicles in game it's practically impossible to group vehicles for Autoreplace dealing with whole list.
It would be much easier to do it on per-station basis, dealing with the only vehicles binded to that station; especially due the fact, that the vehicles binded to same station usually logically grupped by user to share same route and cargo. I would consider a little more automation: - Automatically group vehicles with same orders (route), model and refiting. |
This task depends upon
Anyway, "same station" vehicle lists and "shared orders" vehicle lists should be treated as groups. I developed some details about how to do this: https://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/User:Sulai/new_feature_concepts/FlexibleVehicleList
model- and vehicle based groups are already implemented by this patch: https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=36648
The current groups implementation is based on a vehicle being in one-and-only-one group. which is the only sustainable way (to avoid, e.g. autoreplace circular replacements). Being in multiple groups would perhaps make more sense when creating station groups, but does't look viable to me.
