Rename everything

[Nutcazen]

This is a good feature to rename everything. Cars, trains, buildings etc.
I think, we need it.

Especially bus and train stations. How the hell would I remember where Dustball small bus terminal 5 is?

+1 Agree on this one. And where can I find unfinished road 34 in the construction office...

Looks like you can christen whatever spot on the map whichever name you like. It also seems that the bus stop / train station will be renamed automatically taking up the name you've given to the area where it is. So your Dustball small bus terminal 5 will be renamed into Tumbleweed Valley small bus terminal or whatever you call that place.

Then you just go around renaming the other 4 Dustball things into what you can remember.

So it would work with Dustball Iron Mines replacing the small terminal 5 part? That's what I'd like to have.

Umm, no, you cannot change the category of an object. Small bus terminal will remain Small bus terminal, and Iron Mine will remain Iron Mine.

But you can have Dustball Iron Mines Small Bus Terminal and Dustball Iron Mines Iron Mine.

E.g., here there was an old town of Baraharad that had 2 small bus stops: "Baraharad Bus Platform Small" near "Baraharad Cinema" and "Baraharad Bus Platform Small 2" near "Baraharad Hospital."

After adding two district names, there are now "Dustball Bus Platform Small" near "Dustball Hospital" and "Tumbleweed Bus Platform Small" near "Tumbleweed Cinema"

Bus platforms remained bus platforms, Cinema remained Cinema, and Hospital remained Hospital, it's just that their location names changed to the area names closest to them. So, It looks like you can name things directly.

Combining names and categories you can actually get pretty neat location names: https://i.imgur.com/pk7BYCt.jpg

I+d also like to rename everything, this would make things much easier to manage and to remember. Could be done with adding a small rename button in the top line of the objects window.

Nope, can't do that. So far or at all, I don't know.
