Wrong string reference in First Train Line tutorial

Localization Trains

Hi!

I think I found a small string reference issue in the First Train Line tutorial.

In these tutorial strings:

TutorialOnFirstTrainLine__part1b
TutorialOnFirstTrainLine__part1c

the placeholder for the station module mode appears to reference TrainStation_Loading / TrainStation_Unloading instead of TrainStation_Load / TrainStation_Unload.

The tutorial says:

"...set its mode to {0}/{1}"

Using the current references, the result becomes:

"...set its mode to Loading."
"...set its mode to Unloading."

However, these strings describe the current operating status of the module, while the tutorial is asking the player to select the operation mode. The mode labels are Load and Unload, not Loading and Unloading.

This also affects localization. For example, in Italian the tutorial currently reads:

"...set it to In fase di carico (Loading)."

instead of the expected:

"...set it to Carico (Load)."

Could you please check whether those placeholders should reference TrainStation_Load and TrainStation_Unload instead?

Thanks!

I also noticed another possible source of confusion in the same tutorial.

In TutorialOnFirstTrainLine__part1a, the player is told to:

"place a train station module"

Then, immediately after, TutorialOnFirstTrainLine__part1b says:

"Build a {0} adjacent to the module."

where {0} is Train Station.

At first glance, it can sound as if the tutorial is asking the player to build another train station, while it's actually referring to the station building associated with the module. It might be worth checking if the wording could be made a bit clearer.
