I don't think reassigning a job that can't be completed due to missing item to another network is desired.
Like, if I'm building an outpost from my inventory but run out of e.g. big miners, I may not want a bots come from the base over some biter bases and risk losing them.
I would expect an alert ...

It seems to me that one particular rail (the north one, next to the support) got assigned to the spidertron's bot network (possibly because spidertron's bot area is larger than player's and that rail fell just out of player's personal bot range).
I disabled spidertron's "Trash unrequested", put ...

Possible, but hard to know for sure. FWIW I do not have any construction warnings.

When you load the linked savegame (see end of this post), the block in which the player (in the spidertron) is located contains some ghosts for rails and elevated rails, rail signals and a rail chain signal. It appears that I have sufficient items in my logistic network to cover those (at least I'm ...

Hi guys,

have you found good generic train schedule setup? I have tested one, while it works i am pretty sure there are better setups. Mine setup is like this:

* all input stations (which provide stuff) are named Input


This is the part that bothers me (which isn't your fault of course). I'd ...

Your case is a bit different, but I'd say it still needs a chain signal:



Hi Kyralessa,

Thanks so much for your response and your explanations.

It seems that our definitions of "need" vs. "want" (aka "highly desirable) might be a bit different. :) My definition of "need" for signals contain ...

No need, but the train will lose the option to chose the next free path. Instead it has to wait on the chosen path until it's free.
It depends on your setup and what you are doing in each path. Normally trains should take the bottom path, but sometimes trains are weird.

This could be ...

Hi all,

In the image below I've shown two rows with possible signaling a train split and a train merge. Enough space is assumed before and after the split and the merge to allow for regular rail signals wherever possible.

The top row shows how I usually ...

Yes, likely the same, though my example is a bit simpler, both the train schedule and the interrupt definition. Sorry for the duplicate.

For testing purposes (currently on my copper ore trains only) I am using train interrupts to send my train to a "depot", when they get a destination full/no path event. For those copper ore trains I am using a train group, which consists of two stops:
1. a Supply stop (to load copper ore)
2. a ...
