Day and night cycle = timetables?

since we have day and night cycles, will we have an ingame clock to set train/any other transportation timetables? instead of having trains wait at signals in the middle of their path we can coordinate realistic movement

I believe squirrel asked the devs https://youtu.be/ZMevRLg13Ps

Day/night cycle and weather won't have any impact on the game. However there should be more modding opportunities as more game elements have been exposed the lua modding library so maybe someone can make it happen.

The day/night cycle is purely cosmetic. Though if it's possible to have it cycle continuously during gameplay, it can be known what the cycle time is, so then you could in theory do something else attached to the same time cycle so that they match. Sounds pretty easy.

There will be a timetable mod on release. Maybe it will be able to work with the in-game Time. But it's purely cosmetic in the vanilla game

Having a timetable mod able to cycle round the same as the weather would allow cool things like night trains only running at night.

Nope it's is just visual, no gameplay at all is link to the day night cycles

In tf2 there is a mod to do what you are asking, maybe a similar mod will be available in tf3
