Advanced Displays¶

All Advanced Display Blocks redirect to here.

Advanced Displays are blocks that appear similar to monitors and can display data similar to a Display Board from Create.

Usage¶

Placed Advanced Displays of the same type will connect to each other horizontally and vertically (depending on the selected display variant) when forming a rectangle.

Right-clicking with a Wrench opens a GUI allowing to configure the display.
Right-clicking with a block applies it to all sides except the front side (similar to Copycats).
Shift + Right-clicking with a Wrench will remove the copycat block or destroy the display (if it was empty).

The "Double-sided" option toggles whether the content is displayed on both sides or only on the front.

More options are explained below.

Train Destination¶

Displays information about the train's next stations and final station.
This option is recommended for displays on the outside of a train to show to players information about where it comes from and where it is heading.

Passenger Information¶

Displays information about a trains next stops and optional statistics.
This option is recommended for displays inside a train.

Platform Display¶

Allows displaying info about an arriving/departing train such as the ingame time for when it will arrive/depart.
This option is recommended to be used at station platforms and requires data to be provided from a Display Link connected to a Station.

Glob Patterns supported

Glob Patterns can be used to include multiple stations. Some examples:

Station *: Include any Station starting with Station
Station [1-3]: Include any Station with a name starting with Station followed by a number from 1 to 3.

Departure Board¶

Displays all trains that arrive at/depart from a specified station.
This option is recommended to be used as a general info board for arrivals and departures of trains at a station and requires data to be provided from a Display Link connected to a station.

Glob Patterns supported

Glob Patterns can be used to include multiple stations. Some examples:

Station *: Include any Station starting with Station

Static Text¶

Allows to display static text.
The provided text can either be a simple String or a supported json Text component format. The Rich Text option allows defining up to 50 separate text lines, each with own customization settings, like scaling, offset, etc.

Static text also supports placeholders to display dynamic data. See Placeholders for more information.

Other data sources¶

The Advanced Displays are also capable of displaying data from other sources, such as boiler status. Please note, however, that the format is very simple, and the information is presented as plain static text. The Advanced Displays are optimized and designed for trains and are not meant to be used for other purposes.
