Re: [1.1.80] Game freezes up when using LTN Manager (mod) GUI

Good to hear it is resolved for next update. To add something to this, I host a local server (for my household). When opening LTN Manager (if I am not searching already for something in LTN Manager) I get something like the OP. Game lags until I am dropped by the server. Upon reconnecting, LTN Manag...

Re: [1.1.21] --no-auto-pause does not exist

So is there a way to toggle "auto_pause" to false?

Re: Niggles and nitpicking - player preferences

I have to build based on city blocks.

I can't do anything remotely except mine.

Ratios must be balanced (Helmod is a godsend).

Everything (after rails are used) has to be designed and blueprinted in a separate game, to maximise use of a city block.

Any suggestions on how this could be accomplished with liquids? I'm playing a Bob's playthrough, so lots of non-vanilla items.
I just figured out partly how to do this. Instead of [item=…] you need to put [fluid=…]. You still can't drag and drop the fluid to figure out what it is, though.

Re: How to insert icons in station names without crystal ball?

For items that you can craft I found a workaround: 1. put the item in your hand 2. open a chat line (^) 3. click at the chat line to insert an icon for the item 4. select the text and copy it with ctrl-c 5. close the chat line 6. open the train stop and click rename 7. paste with ctrl-v to get the ...

Re: Train fuel load system

yeah, but delivering anything to a lot of different locations is kind of the point of LTN, isnt it? It is also making sure (if setup right, with the tresholds, which is my favorite part of LTN) its not running a train for like 5 fuel rods That late into the game, where you have alot of depots, you ...

Re: Train fuel load system

afaik, FTS and LTN do not work together that might have changed, however if you have LTN anyway, FTS would be kinda pointless, as LTN controlled trains HAVE TO come back to a depot and you could easily refuel there. Adding a refuel depot to LTN via another mod can work (if they dont conflict), but ...

Re: Can I control multiple stations with one combinator?

Been a few months, but I think if you use the LTN combinator and LTN Tracker, you can adjust things remotely through the UI. You can do that, but you have to make sure that you go through every station and assign the values correctly there. Right now all my trains are LCCCL configuration, but I hav...

Re: Can I control multiple stations with one combinator?

Could you feed the LTN station output back into the stockpile so it treats the requested items as already there before queuing up another load? You can, and absolutely should do that. The problem lies as follows. Let's say you have 5 stations, all wired to a single combinator, and all the stockpile...

In theory you can configure the mod to only mark certain ores, but I doubt that restarting the game just for that is worth it... could be an extended version of this mod ?
If it could be done on the fly, that would be quite handy, and exactly what I was originally looking for.

Re: Can I control multiple stations with one combinator?

You should be able to wire all of them to a single combinator. The problem would be that they would all be requesting the same items, and if you had significant resources available you would likely have multiple deliveries simultaneously, causing overstocking of items. You also may want to isolate t...

Ore Locator

Does anyone know of a mod that can highlight specific ores on the map?

I'm playing a Bob's play through, and of course, that means there are a tonne lots of ores. Some times it is difficult to find the specific one I need.
