While I was thinking how to compress my setup even more I came to a kind of obvious result. We are decompressing everything to 1/4 after the sorter - the other to 3/4 are sent back to the feed. And we do this for each sushi. But why not make one sorter/decompression area that feeds two sushi lanes? ...

This one also works by decompressing every input to 1/4 (or 1/8 in case of space science) and then mixing it. Leftovers have priority over the new stuff when coming back so it never backs up.

Looks like I never posted my final build: This one consumes 255 science/min - so 4 of them gives you a nice 1k science/min base ;) Circuit-free and congestion free ScienceShushi.png 0eNq1Xe1uWzcSfRf9toM7/GZeZVEUjqOmwiqyIcnFBkXefeVGQlyXlzzncPdXmsY+JIecD3LOnflz82n/sn0+7g7nzcc/N7vHp8Np8/Fff25Ouy+Hh/3r/...

If your station requests 48k but the train brings 96k than you have overfilled and your station becomes a provider.

You can
a) Make sure that trains only load as much as has been requested
b) Set Provid Threshold to 99.999 (or higher) on your requester station.

The train wants to depart from a signal (chain or regular) that it stopped at. The train is forced to recalculate its path

So I think at the moment every time a train stops at a red light it can choose a new station.

Why should there be a train in the stacker that is waiting for a slot?
If your stations trainlimit is 1 then trains won't need the stacker.
If it's higher then all train waiting inside the stacker already have reserved their slot.

Nein. Du ist eigentlich Standard im österreichischen Teil des Internets.

It usually happens when requester stations get over filled.
Counter:
A) Set a high enough provider threshold on the requester station. I use 99.999
B) make sure by using circuit magic that trains only load as much as LTN ordered

When all unloading stations are disabled trains will skip that destination and drive to the next one directly. In your case the loading stations.

You can also trick the trains pathfinder into helping you in these cases: When the rail block is guarded by a rail signal set to red by the circuit network -> Add a penalty of 1000. For this i installed circuit switched trainsignals before my ore stations - usually two. One is set to go green if the...

As I understood it: The circuit network shows a train as empty when it is not which leaves you with a nearly empty train if you use circuit controlled pumps which makes the train unusable for future use. Most relevant for Ltn mod users Possible solutions I see: - Allow filter pumps - Change rounding...

Currently if a station is disabled the train will skip that station und proceed directly to the next one.

I'm using this mod for 4 months now: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ConcurrentTrainRestriction It allows you to simply limit your stations and I have no issues. Of course you have to take care that at least on one end of the schedule stations have enough waiting room so that all trains can go somewhe...

This mod does what you want:

Messy LUA mod by me ConcurrentTrainRestriction

Thanks. That works exactly as i want. And apart from the station names the solution is not messy in my opinion.

If you cap the number of trains for "iron load" though it would create a problematic situation since the remaining trains would have nowhere to go. You can't allow him to just "skip" the station that just closed, that would mean the train would arrive empty at the unload. You can't allow him to rep...

Managing dozens of mining outposts without dedicated trains is doable and challenging, it involves lots of tradeoffs, simplicity, efficiency, reliability, the works. Add this and it's reduced to a dwiw toggle. It's possible for a while but when the distances to your mines grows the number of trains...

If ore consumption is high, trains will be quickly unloaded and they will be sent to pickup station. Since there are more trains than total slots in all train stops, some of them will no-path right on unload station. This means if all ore pickup stations are full, no more trains will be sent to the...

I use LTN Mod to avoid those stackers... Guess I have to take some time to try those CN tricks to force reroute...

It's like boskid describes. No matter how I redesigned the signaling once in a while a train got stuck for 5 seconds and blocked my main rail. As a first step i redesigned the station entrance so that trains that got stuck will not immediately clog the main line. Depot.jpg I guess future depots will...
