What?
I want to be able to automatically ship (by train) the construction materials my outpost needs. Basically all tooling is already available in the game except detecting what is missing. I hoped they would show up as a negative value ...

The most basic application is a uranium mine outpost train with a fluid wagon of acid and cargo wagons of ore. You want to leave the base when fluids are full and items are empty. You want to leave the outpost when items are full or fluids are empty. Inactivity isn't what you actually want in ...

... wait conditions to make schedules work cleanly with mixed fluid/cargo trains across different wagon qualities.

What?
For my uranium mining outpost, I run trains that deliver sulfuric acid and pick up ore — one schedule, two conditions: fill fluid on the way out, fill items on the way back. I ...

... Parameterising the Channel value in a Blueprint? I have not tried it myself yet.


I tried, I don't think you can. Also, an example of a use case: When I place an outpost, it automatically checks and selects a free communicate on, and renegotiates if there's a conflict. Could be extremely cool imo

... friction point recently that feels like a missing core feature.

I ran a circuit cable all the way from my main mega-base to a distant mining outpost, expecting to be able to read what ghost entities needed to be built so I could automate shipping the construction materials. I was incredibly ...

... realize there might be tens of thousands of these, so I will be quick: one of the most annoying things that can happen is if you want to build an outpost somewhere before you have spidertrons, and you request a bunch of things from the logistics network, but right before the bots get to you they ...

I don't disagree with you. While personally I probably would not bother combining outposts with trains (with generic schedules so the outpost gets overrun by other trains before the ghost trains are built)


Well yeah that's on me, i tried a made-up example where i thought it would be obvious what ...

I was going to say that, but i think it's slightly different the situation described, it's not just when you build "trains" but rather "outpost with also a trains on them", in such case the robots can create the rails and the stations, before the ghost train, and it can happen that other trains ...

... you call the personal non auto route ship you have), which needs the green belts to transport to your next building location to found a new outpost (when playing with all the additional planets).

So I want the Vulcanus ship to drop green belts at Nauvis.
The Vulcanus ship should transfer ...

... in orbit, and it doesn't.

I find myself wanting multiple per-planet channels, like a 'vulcanus orbit' 'vulcanus inter-planet inventory' 'vulcanus outpost requests' sort of situation. I guess there might be mods to add lots of virtual signals in this way eventually.

So I guess a couple possible ...

... by Redstone Links in the Create mod.

Examples:

* [Crude Oil | Iron Plate] = 50,000
* [Crude Oil | Copper Plate] = 120,000

or

* [Iron Ore | Outpost A] = 8,000
* [Iron Ore | Outpost B] = 12,000

Signals with different keys would remain separate while still using the same underlying signal type ...

... negative, there is no actual objection from me.

In this context, someone could say (more seriously than me) : i don't run power poles between my outpost in rail world, only rails, i transport water by trains for outpost to do their own electricity, i need the current water buffer otherwise my setup ...

... more uses that right now seem to be monopolized by bots (like unloading landing pads)

Examples:
1. On Fulgora, you are building independent outposts dedicated to manufacturing and you're tired of trying to connect logistics networks together, so you consider each outpost having its own network ...

... player can choose which they prefer. They can choose the one that makes sense for different applications; a space platform, a mall, and a mining outpost have very different demands and constraints.
If there was no penalty for switching recipes, there would be a very strong incentive to require ...

... a good thing, and can still be avoided by connected the train unloading inserter to the logistic network to limit the total number of packs in the outpost.

Reasons not to mess with what already works:

1. Using a logistics network without any unfiltered storage is like using train junctions with no ...

... Players often use items as quick placeholders on the map for planning:
- future factory areas
- mall or bus layouts
- rail network planning
- outpost locations
- blueprint preparation

Currently, adding a tag requires several manual steps:
Open tag menu → type text → pick icon → confirm.

TL;DR
Allow us to switch off the logistics and building areas for a given roboport via the circuit network


What?
One of my outposts got into a bit of a weird situation - my construction bots had run out of laser turrets, but still had walls available to replace existing ones. Biters were ...
