Train stations in 1.0 are un-fun :-(#5073

Hi,

to let you know my frustration in the proper post category apart from my suggestions to remedy the situation:

The forcing of station spacers has removed my ability to build multi-unload stations and compact factories because everything need to be in a straight line and then tons of space tunnels to gather together all the resources from the MxN unloaders instead of having N unloaders to empty a train while it slithers away between the space platforms bit by bit :-(

I hope my suggestions can help you fix it somehow.

(I understand the technical necessity to be able to calculate/propagate shape previews somewhat, I think, but am very disappointed by the grave restrictions compared to our previous freedom)

I’m fine with spacers due to technical reasons, but please add the fact they are necessary to the codex or description!
