The second last picture shows an output pump being connected to the part the input would connect to, blocking it. Sorry I am not clear on what is being blocked. And if there is a design problem, why does it work in the first case but not the second? Hang on I think I get it: in the first case, the ...

I made a train stop that both loads and unloads a train of fluid tankers (so the train can deliver oil when the local oil patch runs low). It works fine. Pumping oil in loading all tankers.png I made a copy (Ctrl-C) of the trains providing water and crude oil, and pasted it for the next refinery, bu...

One of the elements of the Krastorio 2 mod that I particularly enjoyed was the green house, that allowed you to generate wood making it a farmable resource, and also allowed you to grow trees to plant to make your own forest. Making fertilizer from dead biters to increase wood production was fun too.

+1 Allowing a mod to determine the maximum number of passengers opens up lots of fun possibilities like tour buses and centipedes. The last time I checked, trains only allowed one passenger per locomotive/cargo wagon/fluid wagon (so I needed to add two cargo wagons to my personal train in order to g...

Thank you for sharing another cool and useful tool. So it's called a height field, that's good to know. I just invented a name for it because it seemed fitting ;) Names are important for remembering, analyzing, and applying concepts. So it shall forever more be recognized as Qon's height field .

Or (and that is my favourite idea from this thread) that if you hover over any number, you will see the exact number in full precision as tooltip.

Yes please!

This is so amazing! It just keeps getting better and better

When I have multiple trains waiting for a spot to open, I have observed that they appear to queue up, so the first train that was ready to leave is at the front of the queue, and is the first to be given an opening, thus FIFO.

Yes!

I don't think there are any standard settings that will magically make it easier to go mega. If you enjoy playing on default settings, keep doing that, it is totally possible to make a mega base that way (note I did not say easy :) ) And if you have a nice starter base already, there is no reason yo...

A related problem, again after doing massive deconstruction: I have a station where I park trains full of odds and ends. When I send a train to park there, I mark what is in the load using the Item Count condition. When I want to take a train, it would be great if the list was sorted by the conditio...

TL;DR Trying to find a needle (one train waiting at the head of the queue) in a haystack (50+ trains all waiting to get to the front of the queue) What ? My suggestion is to sort the search results in the Trains GUI by any differences in the trains matching the criteria, particularly such as state ...

+1 I like the idea of showing the use of restricted slots: 21/20 - you have 21 stack and container is limited to 20 (one stack was added manually or just left over from previous config) However, I would show the use of restricted slots separately. For example: 5/20 - chest is limited to 20 stacks, 5...

This. First rule of cyber security: never click suspicious links.

Congratulations! How much do I love the new trains GUI? Recently I have been playing a number of fresh games that are all relatively small, around the number of trains mentioned in the post (100+ trains, 200+ stations). So today I went back and loaded up my main game that has been worked on for the ...

I do agree with you that a limit of zero is counter-intuitive to the intent of a limit. However, for the question, what should the train limit be for this particular train stop, the answer is almost always "It depends!" Since the limits were introduced (thank you Wube!), I have never set a...

This attention to detail, responsiveness, and player engagement, set you in a class of your own - no-one else comes close. You are amazing! Thank you!

@Klonan: oh yeah a reason to say I _need_ a 4k monitor!

This works because when the train wants to leave, it reserves (yellow) the next signal it wants to pass.

Sweet!
