As long as you concentrate everything of one kind in one place you're fine. One block of iron smelters, one block that needs green circuits, one block that needs copper plates. As soon as you place consumers of one item further apart, you'll run into the described problems. One use case would be to ...

If a mod that would use that air distance to dispatch the nearest train could be made, would you use it ? or would you consider it make things too simple and it's evil ? :D Only if I wrote it myself :-) I've used LUA professionally, but the learning curve to mod myself is just to time consuming rig...

Hi sslik, This is not so simple as it looks, because you need to calculate a route for each train, to do this correctly. Very CPU-heavy. You cannot just use the air-distance, that would make it in some cases very wrong. Routing? Fine. "Accepted" (not that it is up to me to accept anything)...

Hi mmmPi, I'm aware of all the options. Splitting areas, etc. And I've never asked for anything from the devs since playing since 0.13(?), solving all the challenges due to restricted features. (And never using mods :D ) What bugs me here, is that with train limits the game is soooo close to being a...

@ptx0: btw... I just checked LTN. It does the exact same crazy routing from the top of the map all the way to the bottom, even if there are enough resources right next to the depot. (I'm not sure I did LTN correctly. Just two hours in, but with a basic setup with 4 providers, 1 requester and x depot...

This issue is inconsequential to veteran players. it the new players that need this change. And new players don't use circuits... If you need to know the signal names, you're dealing with circuits, with train path finding etc. None of that is possible without reading the docs. So yes, chill dude. T...

Now it gets interesting. Blue actually means "it depends"...

Saying what is not good is the easy part.

Any "Ideas and Suggestions" regarding what the names should be?

Mods are evil! :-) They make things easy. Vanilla all the way! But yeah, train scheduling is CPU intensive. It was using a huge amount of cycles in my 1.0 world. Probably due to the circuit-signal-scheduling-mech I was using then. The same world with 1.1 train limits performed considerably better. I...

I had a complex circuit system in place where I used signals to make the route to stations more costly depending on how "full" they were, effectively pushing trains away from stations that didn't need material to ones that were further away but empty. That worked - kind of - but was subopt...

I would respectfully disagree :-) In order to secure full utilisation of your smelters you would need more(!) trains than you need. I always have (alot) more mines than I need. With the new train limit feature I can buffer ore trains at the mines and dispatch them exactly to where they are needed. I...

TL;DR When more than one train is waiting ("destination full") for a "train limited" station to offer a free slot, it seems to be arbitrary which train gets it. It would be cool if the "nearest" (routing logic) train gets a go. What ? 2 Stations Iron-Ore-OUT each have ...

Sorry. Didn't see that one.

When trying to set a circuit condition on a train stop, the dialog will appear but stay on the first tile.

The Signal Dialog work in other contexts.

Logfile is attached.

Everything worked great. Then it didn't and factorio will now crash within 2-3 minutes when I load the current game.

Things that changed:

- I've added solar panels.
- Most machines were winding down (almost all) because of backlog.
