Go to the “Enabled condition” part of the menu and change it to the number of iron ore Time involved, so let’s go with 7.5k ore. I usually reduce the number a little since there’s still some travel That means a total of 8k ore is needed to fill the train’s cargo. Stack size is important here!) In a one engine with four cargo wagons scenario, Isn’t actually limited by a specific number of items, but by number of stacks, maximum Is stored in stacks of 50, so one cargo wagon can hold up to 2k ore. Now you can set up a condition for when you want the trainstop to be enabled, like how much ore is in your storage!įor this you can calculate how much ore you need to fill your train. Menu, which should pop up once it has a wire connection. Network and toggle on the “enable/disable” option in the trainstop’s Now the next step is simple, connect the trainstop to the same circuit If you want to see whats going through the circuit wire, you canĬonnect it to a power pole and hover over it to look “inside“. Inventory going through the circuit wire. So once you connect all the chests to each other, you have a signal with all your storage chests If you connect several, they will add theirĬontent together. Production) this will be a lot faster and more convenient, than doing itĬhests connected by a wire will automatically send a signal with theirĬontent to the wire network. Importantly (a couple of red wires shouldn’t be too big a strain on your You can use this to get the wire for free, but more Remember, bot placed blueprints with circuit conditions in them, will just Wire item and with the wire in hand, click on the first chest to start the wireĬonnection and then on another chest to choose a target for the wire Outpost with a single colour of circuit wire. So first, you connect all the storage chests at a mining Of telling the trains where to go, you have to tell the trainstations, whetherĪ train may go there. You have to approach this issue from the other direction, so to speak. Wagon as fast as possible? You just have to use the awesome power of circuit So how do you make sure, trains will go to all the different stationsĪnd automatically pick one with enough product to actually fill up the cargo Upgraded stack inserters can only move so much product per minute! Because even an express belt’s worth of iron and generously Probably just end up with all your trains queuing at the mining outpost closest Normally go to the nearest destination with the scheduled name, you will The basic idea of naming for example all copper mining the same and havingĪ central smelting array is pretty straightforward.

Nope, no mods necessary for this at all! And it’s not a new featureĮither, so you can even use it if you don’t subscribe to the experimental branch of Of resources available? This is a new one to me… Is it a mod? Name stations the same and have them only call trains if they have a train load Right there in the notes, but my reply kept getting longer and longer, so I decided to just make a separate post said: You can There was a question on yesterday’s post.
