[ALPHA] Milkyroute’s Automatic Depots
This mod aims to automate train movements from and into depots. This allows for much easier frequency changes in the service: no need to know in advance which runs have to start from / end in depot, and which runs can reuse trains from the previous frequency! If you want a demonstration, open the "MAD Demo" map (derived from the Paris 2.0 map).
Warning: this mod is currently in alpha. It is not feature-complete and might contain some bugs and be a bit hard to configure. Please report any bug in the comments or in the github!

A tutorial will be available when I have enough time to work on it. I’m taking into consideration each suggestion and bug report, but I might be a bit slow to take then into account since I don’t have a lot of free time.
Current features:
* Three signal extensions
–> Depot entry signal: put it at each entry point of your depot
–> Depot assign signal: put it where you want to change the depot assigned to your trains
–> Free space signal: put it before your terminus stops to automatically send idle trains to depot if there are no free tracks when a new train arrives
* Depot line extension
* "Can be assigned to depot" train extension
* Automatically sends to depot idle trains if they’re idle for too long
* Automatically sends trains from the depot to run available shifts
TODO list:
* Debug the mod
* Make the mod compatible with black hole depots
* Make the mod easier to use
* Write a full and nice tutorial
