I was very annoyed trying to do platform > empty > stop and finding it did not work. The screenshots did not indicate this in the codex. Please add a screenshot like the one I have attached to clear up confusion, and make it more clear when you start to use trains that spacers are mandatory, as this is especially confusing for returning players or people coming from Factorio etc.

the codex already contains exactly what you’re talking about.

No it doesn’t. The codex entry does not show a gap between the station and the stop requires a spacer.
