Station Name Sign

Station Name SignStation Name Sign (Pole)

A platform station name board, 4 blocks wide and 1 block tall. Place it inside a station group range and it automatically displays the station name, line color and neighboring stations, on both faces. There is no UI — everything shown is derived from the station group and the assigned line symbol.

Placement

  1. Hold the sign and right-click where you want it. The display face turns toward you.
  2. It needs 4 blocks of horizontal space. If the space is blocked, placement is cancelled and no item is consumed.
  3. Breaking any of the 4 cells removes the whole sign and drops the item.

Pole variant (hanging)

The pole variant adds a hanging pole at each end, for a total height of 2 blocks.

  • Right-click the underside of a ceiling to hang it: the poles attach to the ceiling and the board sits one block below.
  • Placement is cancelled if the pole space (above the two end cells) is blocked.
  • Display behavior is identical to the normal variant.

What is displayed

  • Renames and symbol changes propagate to the sign within a few seconds.
  • Neighbors are resolved from the track network: starting at this station, the first different station group found in each direction along the track is shown. Left/right assignment follows the sign's facing automatically.
  • After changing tracks or station groups, the neighbor display may take up to ~30 seconds to refresh.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing is displayed → the sign is outside any station group range.
  • No band / badge → no line symbol is assigned to the station. Assign one in the Management Computer's line symbol tab.
  • No neighbors → check that tracks actually connect to the neighboring station and that it has its own station group.
