Issue description

One of the items listed in the loading screen update notes for the latest update, v.0.8.8, notes something about ore sorting plants having a 'truck input toggle that turns away all trucks' allowing you to disable all trucks from the relevant sorting plant.

I don't actually see this in the game anywhere. This item is also missing from the release notes for v0.8.8 on the COI site, unless I missed it.

Wouldn't this just be the same as setting the 'Truck Import' setting to 'Trucks CANNOT IMPORT cargo' anyway?

Reproduction steps

  1. Load any game on the latest v0.8.8 build (b627 for me).
  2. While the game is loading, look at the update release notes on the left side, specifically the bullet points under the first new feature section for mixed resources
  3. The fourth bullet point down referrs to a 'truck input toggle' that doesn't appear to exist in game when looking at an ore sorting plant

Sorry I had the wrong build number. I am actually playing b627.

I assumed what appeared in the Version box when creating a ticket was the latest build but I guess not as it said b624.

Are you sure? mine uses the correct 627.

I see the issue now. The update note IS referring to the Trucks CAN/CANNOT Import toggle on the top left of the ore sorter window since that wasn't available for ore sorters in the prior version of the game. It's not something I ever thought of using so I did not notice it wasn't there in prior game versions.

Sorry for bothering you then, as this isn't a bug but I still think the wording of the update note should still be changed as I think it is confusing. Instead of 'Ore sorters now have a truck input toggle' maybe 'Ore Sorters now have the truck import cargo toggle' or 'Ore Sorters now have the truck import cargo toggle alongside the existing truck export cargo toggle".

The way it is worded now, in my opinion, makes it sound like something new that is specific to the ore sorter instead of the import dropdown toggle, already used in many other places, being added. That's what had me confused.

This is a suggestion though, not a bug, so this post can be closed! Apologies for the false report!

In regards to the bug report form, I just deleted my browser data/cache and reloaded the bug report form a momet ago. The prior experimental build number b624 is still shown for me as the default text in the Version box within the form.
