Thank you but, yes, I'm aware - it's actually impossible to build that^ exact blueprint without knowing how to manipulate the wires. Factorio is generally so good about removing mental papercuts that this one really stands out - having to hunt for and fix errant wires every time I place a blueprint ...

Let me clarify: I understand that pumps will sometimes not connect to straight fluid wagons if any part of the train is on a curve and that this can be controlled with fluid_wagon_connector_alignment_tolerance. This is different. I want pumps to be able to connect to fluid wagons that are themselves ...

I see some very old chatter about this in the forum but this seems like a no-brainer for QoL. Here's my use case: I have an expandable rail loop system designed to extend through a roboport grid, like so:

It needs to be modular so I can place station blueprints inside ...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I finally think I fully get it. I was always confused as to why the game cared if there were any curves under the train when the wagons were straight, but it's actually just that (1) train stations on a straight track will always align all wagons with the grid and (2) any curves ...

That very well may be true but I have a couple of hints that make me think it may be possible. Here's a screenshot showing that (1) the segment of the rail I'm trying to put a pump against IS straight and shows up yellow and (2) that the pumps built against this straight section open up like they're ...

Hi, I'm trying to get pumps working with a fluid wagon on an ever-so-slightly curved rail. There's a mod called Fluid Wagon on Curved Rails ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/fluid-wagon-curved-rails/ ) but it's out of date and there's no source, so I'm trying to replicate the basic mod functionality ...
