I have to respectfully disagree with it being the best way to handle this, granted it's just my opinion and I've worked around the problem by changing the train limit instead so it's no biggie it just doesn't make logical sense for the behaviour to me. I understand wanting to reserve another stop ...

I see nothing wrong. You disabled train stop while the train was on route and it has nowhere to go to so it stopped. It works as designed.


The thing that is wrong is that a train can keep the same schedule and a station can use the logic of enable/disable and the behaviour of that train can be ...

I must have searched wrong the first time, I just found this post which seems to be a duplicate of https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=94033 which lead me to thinking of how to get around the problem where the train just stops.

Instead of toggling enable/disable if you simply set the ...

I'm not sure of the best way to describe this but I have a save and some videos of the problem.

If you have 1 train station called A with a limit set to 2 trains and have 2 trains travelling to station A and then disable the station both trains correctly treat that station as a waypoint and simply ...

Now that is a beacon redesign I can get behind, it's there but not in your face and show the modules is a fab little extra.

I much prefer the first redesign over the last image. I think its simply having the building extend into the hole rather than just a bunch of cables running up to a almost hovering building design that sways it for me.

Obviously without seeing lots of them side by side its hard to tell if its ...

finally i understand this topic after seeing the video !

Yes it is weird the train is able to understand it is allowed to switch direction to go to regular station but not temporary station.


I should have made a video myself, it didn't even occur to me :lol:


If the auto-stopping would be ...

But i can click a station in the schedule to go to while rolling backwards and it works by stopping the train and then moving forward.

There is 100% a difference between the logic that handles the temporary stations and normal stations, bug or not I think both should act and respond in the same way ...

So I've managed to work out what was going on after some fiddling.

If you:


put a train in a location where it cannot path to anywhere (in my case a dead end)
open up the train gui (hit e while hovering the train)
try to path somewhere and it says on path
leave gui open and switch to manual ...

So I haven't played Factorio in quite some time so decided to start a new map. Just had to say I am loving the LTN combinator and tracker, it makes things way easier to visualise what's going on!

Just wanted to say a massive thanks for such an amazing set of mods!

Strangely I'm getting this on my 4k G-Sync monitor too with windows

That's awesome, working fine now

I was in the middle of replacing all my normal stations with LTN stuff, I finished it all now and put thresholds everywhere and it broke far less frequent, not happened since now tho.

Thanks for the fast fix

So I just got it to happen with debugging on, took about 3-4 mins at double game speed so it's not that often but definitely repeatable. Train ID that just broke is 392, stop name is "IP Pickup"

I'll keep watching and see if I can come up with a pattern somehow.

I've put a provider threshold on it of 4k and I've not seen it happen again since, I tried reconnecting the wires from the output which didn't help, I didn't try the input.

I took a save at the exact time I took the screenshots if it's of any use to you but if it's quite an elusive thing I'm not ...

So I've started using this and I don't know how I managed without it but I'm getting something odd and I don't know why, I have a train at a provider station with a schedule that says to wait until cargo > 1703, the red output from the station is giving no signals but it clearly did for a while ...

I don't think nerfing bots will solve anything, all that will happen is people will place more roboports, use more bots and build more power. To those saying to limit how many bots can pull from a chest I say the solution is simple, more chests and inserters between them, it doesn't solve anything ...
