Train station modules do not line up with housing modules.

Attempting to use trains to transport items to and from a settlement is difficult without making belt spaghetti because the modules do not line up. Train modules DO line up with Cargo Dock Modules however. Since modules are unlikely to change size, to the complexity of such a change, I reccomend custom station extensions. We currently have an empty station module, but that is the same size as other modules so it doesn't alleviate this problem. Being able to create custom length empty station sections would allow more flexibility in designing train stations.

It would be cool to have a empty module as a 1 or 5 wide version

I really just need 2 wide in this case.

I thought I could make each one a separate station, but nope...

That would be 2 1 wide though, some situations it might be nice

Yeah, I thought, "why not just make the train modules wider", but then I realized how nicely they align with cargo dock modules and that would be ruined.

And using trains to deliver items to/from contracts is very useful

I think spacers would be cool

It probably has something to do with how trains are coded to deliver/pickup goods and they reserve a car-length's space.

What I'm asking for is probably not easy, its just very frustrating. I guess housing modules could be changed?

Maybe housing could be changed to be a bit bigger? Right now, they are 4 modules wide, or 7 designations, which is odd

making them 8 designations and make modules a bit wider could help, but it still wouldn't line up. Hmmm...

housing modules are 7 tiles wide now, and trains are 6. if housing modules are 8 tiles, there is still an issue...

making housing wider would ruin so much about saves

true. They kinda painted themselves into a corner with this early on.

housing and modules were some of the first things added, and they couldn't have anticipated building size interactions back then

There is no easy fix here:

• We cannot make house modules 5 tiles wide due to save compatibility, and housing modules being 28 tiles wide.
• Adding 2-tile-gaps between stations would not work well as train alignment would be a mess, only one wagon could align at a time
• Train modules cannot be made wider due to wagon length.

Darn. Well, thanks for looking at it anyways! Perhaps a solution could be found in the future.
