How do you all name your train stations? I was using load/unload for a while but wanted shorter names. So I switched to in/out where “in” is a resource input that is deposited by train. This causes some confusion though people thinking “in” means putting stuff in the train. I’ve also been floating the idea of on/off for putting things on or taking them off the train.

I also use “in” and “out”, in combination with rich text. For example, iron ore stations might be:

[IRON ORE RICH TEXT] 1-4 Iron Ore - Out [IRON ORE RICH TEXT] 1-4 Iron Ore - In

Where the “Out” station is at the resource patch (ore comes out of the ground) and “In” is at the base (ore goes in to the factory). I also include the train type in my station names (1-4).

See https://lemmy.ml/comment/686775 for what I mean by rich text
