You could also disable the unloading inserters. Just wire them to a roboport and set them to work only if the amount of the delivered goods is below the desired threshold.
This way the train will keep parking at the bay, not wasting any room or going around in circles.

That's by design. aka working as intended.

IIRC the train needs to be parked at the station in automatic mode for the 'read train contents' to work.

it works fine for me. i use some combinator logic to only allow as many trains on the network as needed and keep the rest in stackers. i dont know what you are doing, but i never had 8 trains going to the same station at once and i use about 30 trains in my current game.

when building outposts i use logistic bots in the network only and do the building with my personal bots. logi bots can carry up to 4 items at once, while constructors only carry one. speeds up things considerably, and no item detour.

if your train network cloggs up you dont have enough stations or waiting bays. also you have to make sure your blocks after every intersection are not shorter than your longest train.

i'm using a similar setup with one addition: there is one filter inserter REMOVING stuff from the train if there is more inside than what is set in the constant combinator. stack size 1. if unloading is to slow you can add a stack filter inserter as a slave via a (if anything>3). oh, and i dont have...

Where are the items stored? they need to be in a logistic chest within logistic range (the orange one) Are there construction bots in the correct logistic network? did you place a huge blueprint? there is a building queue that the game loops through, so it may take some time until your bots start wo...

it should work if you add a simple SR latch that sets on your signal and resets on 'read hand contents' >= [the number of inserters you are using to insert fuel]. iirc once the inserter has finished grabbing one item it will complete the insertion. if that doesnt work you could add a timer to make y...

insertes will not take items off belts when triggered by a single-tick pulse. you need to make the signal stay true until the inserter got an item in its hand. (unable to test it right now, but that's what i think i recall)

for chests the single tick pulse works, you found that out already.

if you put a 3x3 balancer after what impetus maximus sugested you will get a perfectly balanced input/output.

depending on your setup it may even suffice to put two splitters in the 3-lane bus connecting 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.

try setting the splitters to output priority right belt, see if that helps. or remove the splitters altogether, they are not needed anyway, are they?

Could you post a screenshot or something? it's hard to tell what is going on by your descriptions.

is the heavy oil getting used? if any of the fluids is backing up the refineries will eventually stall.

I'd do that if i was at home, my boss wont let me play at work for some obscure reasons. I understood the 2nd splitter was needed when i read your post for a 2nd time, tat's why i edited my post to nvm.

i'm using a setup with combinators that compares what is in the train to the values i set in a constant combinator. There is just one requester chest and one stack inserter loading the train. as this will most likely load too many items i also placed a filter inserter to simultaniously unload the ex...

out of curiosity, what happens if you remove the 2nd splitter? the dead end one.

Edit: nvm, i failed comprehending what you wrote in the original post.

Imagine someone seriously told you that $Smartphone X+1 is made by attaching a bigger processor, bigger battery and some memory chips onto an old $Smartphone X, you'd be laughing the whole day. Exactly. Instead they add a new camera and some software tweaks and sell the same old crap for a higher p...

And it's never a good idea to request Construction Robots as when they leave your inventory a request is made for more, this is kind of a pain. this is not true. i am requesting 50 construction robots all the time and got two personal roboports. when i'm building with blueprints those 50 robots dep...

Show us the left belt aswell, please. i'm seeing one steel at the underground entrance.

Else, did you try rebuilding the splitter?

They are very usefull to prevent loops in the logistics network. if at any point you have a requester chest output to a belt and a provider chest taking from the same belt, your bots will start moving items in an endless loop. replace the provider chest with a buffer chest and make sure the request...
