Description:

This mod tries to improve the naming of newly created stations and street stops.

1. If a station/stop is placed close to an existing station, it will get the same name as the existing station.
2. Otherwise, if it is placed close to an industry, it will get the name of the industry.
3. For street stops, city names can automatically be removed.

The functionality is configurable. Search areas can be adjusted to your preference, or you could for instance disable the search for existing stations and only use the auto-naming for industries.

The default distance (M) corresponds roughly to the catchment area size. When searching for existing stations, only actual buildings are considered, not street stops.

This is a script mod only, it does not modify any in-game content. It is therefore safe to add and remove at any time.

It should be compatible with all station mods. The only case where it would fail to recognize a modded station (and simply ignore it) is if the other mod does not adhere to the standard naming conventions for buildings.

Localizations for english, german, and french are included. If you want to contribute other translations, feel free to get in touch.
