As promised here's 0.3.11 hopefully fixing your reported errors and a new demo map. A train is modified while delivering a route (ex. removing a car when in a stations). Trains destroyed, mined while delivering will gracefully be removed from active delivery. There's a small bug with the lamp at sta...

Thanks for the error report, it's fixed in 0.3.11. If ssilk made continuous version updates it may result in different results than jumping from 0.3.0 to 0.3.10. Migrating from the old demo save to 0.3.11 works for me. I tried that since instructions like "make sure output and station are conne...

When you add items into the global table, separate them into sub-tables indexed by integer: for the first item, you add it into the table at [1], next at [2], and so on... function insert_sensor_at(i, sensor) if not global.Sensors[i] then global.Sensors[i] = {} end table.insert(global.Sensors[i], s...

That's smart.
Do you have something working for unordered sets by chance?

Since i couldn't find something similar and I guess most modders will use on_tick I'm going to start this thread as help to reduce load from on_tick events. If you have a way to distribute load across multiple ticks, please add it to this thread. single modulo if game.tick % update_interval then for...

Questions: Can I have multiple depot stations? You can have as many depots as you want by naming them "Depot". Factorio trains have the nice feature of going to their nearest station of the backer name in their schedule. I planned on changing it to either allow varying names after a white...

Scanning for matching coils seems to take noticeable UPS time.
This is on a small yard for 4 trains with ~15 fast charging rails. For my big bases I am using fusion reactors or base locomotives.

That's what the game does

Is that why feeding the whole content of the logistic network from roboports into several combinators causes network update to take noticeable more time?

Hi, I noticed you never overwrite the base wagon icon of the entities.
I'm using entity.icon to generate signals representing train composition in Logistic Train Network.

Please post some screenshots. Do the locomotives have different hitbox sizes like Yuoki Trains?

It does work with any mod added locomotives. Currently it can't automatically detect the size of modded wagons. Only base cargo wagon and RailTanker are supported. Will read inventory size from any cargo wagon added by mods. Fluids are limited to RailTanker. As far as I know it's the only one workin...

Loading multiple items can happen. The loading stations and refueling in my demo is very very basic to the point where it just works. I want to give players a tool that's simpler to use than combinator magic, but still needs to be thought through on how to load/unload trains. Your save was using 0.1...

I do agree, normally you would want the color you check against to be used.
Having to filter colors with a decider combinator before each lamp feels needlessly complicated.

When setting the lamp to Anything > 0 with use colors it should use the highest color value.

Updated to a working mod. It's running for 3h on a real base without problems now. 10 trains 30 station ~0.09 UPS.

Here's a migration script to rename air-filters so you don't loose all of them.

Gates can already send their state and be locked by signals. If you are asking for gate protected crossings, here's a whole thread dedicated to those. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=27952 train in a station could trigger a light to divert other trains to a holding siding etc. ...

I like how it looks like you cherry picked between Reactors and Uranium Power and garnished it with great own ideas, connecting reactors to add more efficiency.

I've updated it to a usable beta version.
Feel free to test and please report bugs here or on github.

Biggest problem I have is that in the endgame there is literally no alternative to running out with 5 shields in MK2 armour and either a flamethrower (slow) or destroyers (expensive). It's just time consuming and dull. I don't even care about the artefacts, just clearing a track and area for an out...

What I want is having all signals merged into one array. Currently I'm doing it like this. function GetCircuitValues(entity) local greenWire = entity.get_circuit_network(defines.wire_type.green) local redWire = entity.get_circuit_network(defines.wire_type.red) local items = {} if greenWire then for ...
