Asking here rather than starting my own thread: how does one check he amount of fuel present in a locomotive? This doesn't seem to happen in the above examples, or if it does, I'm totally missing it. To me it looks as if the inserter will count fuel into the locomotive whenever it stops at the stat...

I don't understand how this arithmetic combinator is wired to the system. The inserter keeps loading and loading, no matter what the train does :( One non-standard arithmetic combinator, counting the fuel as it is loaded into the locomotive. Wiring is standard for a counter: one wire from the inser...

@disentius, this is so simple and elegant. i love it!

I discovered it could be easier than I thought:

If anybody is interested in this task, posting a solution by Renan Gomes.

In theory I have some many ideas and I know exactly how to do it. Just when I start wiring and using combinators, it doesn't work. Thats why I need help, like a screenshot and description of combinators' settings. I just can't figure it out, how to connect everything properly. I would use a counter,...

Let's say I have a box with 50 pieces of solid fuel. And the task is, when a locomotive stops at the station, I want to load only 2 pieces of that fuel in it. How to do it?? I tried to fiddle with the station signals, decider and arithmetic combinators with several boxes and inserters, however, no m...
