Generally it's better to keep dedicated ammo or builder trains separate from LTN. There's two way to make LTN ignore slots: Lock slots in the wagon: Locked slots are subtracted from a trains slot capacity. Provider Signal "Locked Slots per Wagon": Artillery has 1 slot, locked slots subtrac...

Can't be stressed enough: Before doing anything else ensure stations can unload! Drain on station buffer chests should be balanced Don't request more than the station can hold Don't bother with advanced features like priority when your setup can't even do basic balanced unloading. At best it'll only...

changed topic to fixed
(as much as a mod can fix this without reprogramming inserter behavior)

I've added a map setting "Providers output existing cargo" with 1.16.8.
Should solve most issues with output showing items inserted by stuck inserters by simply ignoring train inventory when entering a provider.

Correct, you may play test modifications, but publishing forks is not allowed.
Sorry not opening that can of worms.

But that should be met because no circuit wires are attached to the train stop (the lamp doesn't send signals to the train) so all signals are zero.

Having no wires to the stop will cause circuit conditions to never be met.
Just a single wire to a pole will suffice.

merged with similar thread

When temp stops where added the logic to prevent duplicate names was removed.
I'm not going to add that back in just to remove temp stops.

LTN train limits are applied to the whole delivery, trains won't even be sent to a provider if the requester limit is full.

The "correct" way is to use proper formating in stop names. Here's a short code you could run from console to search and replace item and fluid icons in all train stop names on all surfaces: for _, surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do local stops = surface.find_entities_filtered{type="t...

well, other OS like MacOS and Linux have this functionality built-in. Complain to Microsoft? Why not complain to both? Most other game developers realized that shortcoming of Windows and added an option to mute on loosing focus into their game. Run WSL2 on Windows with the KDE environment and final...

Looking through stop creation I remember now.
LTN stops are always created with send to train and read from train enabled to prevent having to stamp over every stop when enabling "Schedule circuit conditions" late into a game.

Sry for late replay, I hardly check the Forums these days. Can you explain what belt latency is? I measured my longest belt with items on it. Even 355 x 4 belts, would be about ~ 1200 items. One full load is 160 stacks, so that would be 32000 chips. I don't see how LTN could request a full load and ...

Can't reproduce.
On Factorio 1.1.57 and LTN 1.16.7 copy/cut and paste, saved blueprint, stamping over existing stops all works fine for me.

Check if you have a mod altering blueprint functionality or train stops installed.

Depots ignore ALL signals except Stop is Depot and Depot Priority.

You can make an exact replica of functionality, as long as you write your own code. You just need a new name and new graphics for the new mod. The mod has a license for it , not a patent for the idea of making trains into logistics robots. The "internal structure" is going to differ at so...

What I see is this: LTN for bulk transports, move more or less material from A to B on a regular base: not a good idea. You can have much fun in doing this with the enhanced trains in 1.1 very well. Much more efficient, much faster (CPU & total time), much less possible errors. LTN for one-time...

Sorry, but I don't feel like letting go of a project I spent so many years on. However LTN would require yet another rewrite from scratch to make use of all the current base features. Even the premise of improving performance by cutting down the total number of trains seems to be wrong. I've heard c...

I do feed the warehouses, and the chests unloading both to the warehouse (Through the green signal in my screenshot). I've given up. LTN occasionally overrequests and gets too much. IDK if it's from the time that some of the stuff is on the belt before it reloads and the signal gets readded back in...

Dear all, Please move to 500 lane tests. Its more accurate. See my analysis https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=193&t=101648 probably the mod "EditorExtensions" strongly affects UPS Removal of editor extensions would make testing more painful, I'm look into that now. You can t...

Super old thread but still comes up in google. To prevent non-empty trains from dispatching: Wire the Depot train stop to a Rail signal in front of it. If train not empty, then disable the rail signal. Can also add a speaker for an alert too. Works for both standard and fluid cargo. A much cleaner ...
