Out of curiosity, how do you use this in a mega base? Does it only make sense with something like LTN? I thought generic interrupts and train groups only really work well if you keep reusing the same train station names.

I actually made this mod mainly for LTN. When using LTN with Factorio 2.0, I ran into issues where multiple stations had the same name (because of my blueprints), and trains would end up going to the wrong stop for the wrong material. Since I had over 400 stations to fix, I wrote this mod to rename them all automatically. For me it doesn’t matter what the names are, since LTN handles the routing anyway, so UUIDs were the simplest solution.

Makes sense! Thanks for the info.
