Why use "hacky" "dummy" solution when you can allow signal to add needed penalty to the path directly? This is a separate idea in itself. What i am not sure about is if signal extra penalty value would be provided by the circuit network: when the value would be changed, some repath events would be ...

Firstly, to be able to use "arrival conditions" for train fueling, you would also need to be able to set a condition based on fuel. I think that is not as simple as it may first appear due to multiple locomotives (which may be facing different directions) and fuel types. Like "Fuel in any locomotiv...

Current "hacky" solution is to use multiple dummy train stops in front of the target train stop to artificially increase the penalty to this train stop,...

Hm.
If Tips and Tricks would become so powerful and interactive as mentioned in FFF would it be possible to edit BP in that interactivity?
Just a thought.

Yes, but if regular signal is open while chain is closed the train does step ahead and do not look more at the normal signal. Suggestion: allow a connected chain signal to be set ...

OT How about railway pathfinder v2.0 that would be deadlock-resistant? Please don't say it would cost many CPU and RAM, because it would work only on small factories (say, until chain signal technology researched :mrgreen:) Already implemented, direct player control of trains is very deadlock-resis...

Try setting up a system with all chain signals! It's not good.

I wander how chain signals work without rail signals at all?
It seems they also look at the stations.
Does anyone know?

By the way there is yet another case: unload list of items from the train.

But first here is what I did: 1.) Reduce the requested material by 11 - the stack filter inserter will now only insert only items that it can load with stacksize 12 2.) If there is no request left let a cloak tick once 3.) Use the clock to tick down the stacksize AND adjust the requests accordingly...

This mod not as good as this suggestion.

... if I want to calculate #max trains for a stop, I have to divide by stack size x 40, and therefore have to set it manually on each new station. After the Spidertron (and a few mods), this is the only reason I have to go to new stations. I am not against your suggestion. But... Can you set manual...

Technically it is possible to give each inserter single item filter and desired stack size for that item. It is possible to change filter/size each tick for inserter to take another item. It is possible to count items, taken by inserters, as already loaded. But in my opinion it is too much ineffecti...

What warning?
When would it show?
As a player I cannot tell.

Uffz. I give up. :D We only have proven, that the devs are right: there is no solution to this problem, which will satisfy everybody. :cry: :roll: And never will :( So option: Mark unpowered as intended if {one switch off|any switch off}. How about a compromise? Toggle in the switch window that wil...

Between power producer and consumer can be several turned off switches. And consumer still turned off by player command, not by power network disfunction.

Game does not distinct players reasons but distincts if an open switch has power on one side or not.

... The game doesn't really need to know your intent, there is either available power and you decided to turn it off, or there isn't any. ... I think the point of this is, that the game needs to distinct, if a device is unpowered because there is possible/available power in a network or not. And av...

O.k. I take that as the confirmation that both threads request the same.

I'm not sparr who start merged thread. May be he would not agree.
I would better suggest special inserter for this task. No manual filters, only logic control and couple of options.

The train case is most important here.
Even if this check would be for trains only its useful.

So you are really want "do not take more than can place" option to inserters.
Should inserter block space for items, would be moved? Or else your 12 inserters would pretend for the same space.
Which inserter should take full stack? Placing on belts only?
