Re: "On Demand" Train Schedule?

If you have things set to enable when a C signal (for example) is 1 … you can either add -1 to the C signal, or multiply the C signal by 0, to get it to 0. A 0 signal does not actually have a value of 0; it has a “null” value instead and is ignored. Anything set to Enable when C = 1, or C > 0, will...

Re: "On Demand" Train Schedule?

I got it working! I think. It ended up that I didn't need the 'G' signal, just the 'A' signal on two different circuits (one local to the station, one throughout the whole network that only activates when the train pulls up at a station) did the trick. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how I got i...

Re: "On Demand" Train Schedule?

So I've come up with a "basic" outline of what I'm trying to accomplish, and right now I'm messing around with the circuit network to see if I can accomplish it. I'm not that familiar with some circuit techniques though so I'm having to learn as I go - mainly I'm trying to figure out how t...

Re: "On Demand" Train Schedule?

Actually, someone has just given me a great idea: to use a separate station on the loop effectively as a passenger detector - by having wait conditions of 'passenger present' OR 'time passed', since the train will stop there for a time if no passenger is on that can be used as the trigger to close a...

Re: "On Demand" Train Schedule?

Hmm. While I don’t think there’s a way (unless you somehow jigger it to turn signals red) to have the train use the Until Passenger Present wait condition, how’s this? Leave the refueling station (whatever one you plan on providing it fuel at) off the circuit network, with a Train Limit of 1, so th...

Re: "On Demand" Train Schedule?

Thanks for the replies, guys! Hunt up "factorio pax trains". Ah, so that's the term for it - thank you. I did try searching 'on demand trains', 'personal shuttle' etc, but couldn't find anything specific. This is definitely bringing up some useful videos/suggestions. I can think of a way t...

"On Demand" Train Schedule?

Hello! This is my first post on the forum. I've been enjoying the game so far, on my third 'playthrough', on a railworld map, and was wondering if it would be possible to create an 'on-demand' train shuttle. I've been experimenting with combinators and temporary stops but I'm struggling to achieve i...
