Buildings other than stations
Right now we have an option to connect multiple platforms into a single station if they overlap. Would it be possible to add a building as a mod that connects to stations in the same way? Maybe we could mod in a "waiting room" that costs some serious upkeep every day, but increases time that a passenger can wait before being compensated? Or maybe have a parking lot that allows to increase station catchment range by 15% for an extra X of upkeep? Or even just a footbridge that could allow connestion of two platforms that are not "touching" into a single station, like when placing these platforms on two sides of a narrow river? Restrooms to increase comfort and general "happiness levels" of each station and so on and so on.

There is plenty of options that could add a lot more variety to the game and they could be as simple as creating a PNG and a list of properties for each building mod and... done, ready!

Mechanics wise a connection corridor is coming at some point. The modability of such an object or the stations is pending a review of how stations look in general.

The idea of the free placement of platforms is nice as it is already, but for some stations having an option to snap to existing platforms would probably be nice addition (like a checkbox to have that snapping on or off) as well as a second option to "keep the current middle point" so that the station does not slowly crawl OUT of the range of big popultion centres whenever you add another platform to it.

I cant wait to have the connection corridor though, as it would allow MUCH easier work with cities like Wrocław or Gdańsk (Poland):

Both are a mix of rivers, channels and old medieval moats etc., making any local transport very expensive to build. Having that connector would be grea, but I would still love some buildings that have other functions as well. :)
