I have often the problem that a copy pasted station requests a train too early. But afaik the station name is copied as well and thus the pasted station does NOT have a backer name?!

As long as you keep the station name checked off in the blueprint this should prevent trains from being assigned to that station at all.

Ah ok. There is an option in blueprint. Ok (already a year passed since my last station ^^) So then your mod is just fine! Thanks for that :-)

Glad a fellow mod maker is enjoying (or will enjoy) it :)

Would you be so kind and describe fool proof how to use it? I mean clear, station names should not be copied during blue printing. But what else to keep in mind? How exactly do you deactivate the station and what do I have to do to reactivate it? (feel a bit guilty since I did not spend the 5 minutes in game to find it out myself)

the station deactivates itself (the lamp will become red), when you change the name of the station to anything that is not a default/backer name the lamp will promptly turn on again.

I will check the code. Sounds interesting!
