Hello,

For very large maps, and for players with weak memory, it would be nice to have a query tool to find a place. Currently on a very large server game, if I see a place I don't know, I need to open the station or city lists, sort alphabetically, and scroll to the name of the place - not very comfortable. So a query tool would be good to add, I think.

An ideal solution would be a button on toolbar - opens a dialog, type a name and a filter based search shows instant results. However a simple filter field (like the one in the line management), or search option in the city/station list will probably do just as good.

Thank you all for the best game in the world.

Why not simply click on the thing you do not know. It will usually give you the information anyway?

in the station waiting list, there is no such button. It's really important there. I imagined such an arrow would be difficult to add there, but I didn't really consider it. It would certainly be a better solution, if any mentioning of the stop would have a link to go there :)

greenling, i could do that, but on a very large server map for instance, this is not very practical.

The clickable list was requested quite often.

But there is already such feature. It is the filter option on the halt dialoge. There you can easily enter a name.

asaphxiix

ah yes, I see there's a filter there\

that is helpful !
could it be reproduced to the city list as well?

for instance in the bridgewater game, there are many players, so if I want to find a stop with this filter I'd have to cycle through the players.

Those Filters work only at your station and stop.
Public and Stops from Another player cam not in list.

A world statistic might indeed useful. Perhaps a defualt filter for player which is set for current player and public would be most helpful for stops.
