Option for "destination track change" #7

Open scitor opened 1 year ago

scitor commented 1 year ago

FH jobs change their destination track if you accept them and the track is occupied. This makes planing a train quite hard, since the order very much depends on where its coming from and there its going (down to the track).

This is only a problem with mods like Remote Dispatch and Improved Job Overview, which both show the tracks before you accept the job, Vanilla doesn't tell you

Not just FH; Here's a SL job that claimed it's destination to be B4O, actually wanted A7L, but then generated a FH starting at B4O.

Changing the destination track of a SL job to the warehouse machine track (L) is intended and not a bug. It generating a FH that wrongly state it starts at B4O is an edge case because that job chain was most likely generated by vanilla. For job chains generated by PersistentJobs, the FH should start at the loading track as well.

Note that the starting track does not have any influence on accepting the job or completing it. It's just an outdated info in some cases.
