Re: [MOD 0.15] Automatic train deployment

Hmm, I can't seem reproduce that, even when also using equipment grids. If you could please either describe in a bit more detail what you're doing or upload a reproduction save with as few mods as possible and I'll hopefully be able to fix it. From what I can tell so far it is not the mk3 cargo wago...

Re: read the color of a train possible?

I'm pretty sure that this is not possible in vanilla. I'm also pretty sure that it should be possible to make a mod that allows for this, but I have not really worked with generating circuit signals so I can't say for sure. As an alternative you could use one cargo slot to carry some kind of item (t...

Re: Train Pathing Question

This is caused by the pathfinder not looking whether a signal is red or not - except for circuits - but whether or not there is a train in the block. As there is no train in either block the only thing the pathfinder has to differentiate with is how long the paths are. Changing how that works seems ...

Re: [14.22] Building rails can cuse trains to ignore signals

I think that this bug was likely fixed in 0.15 as Klonan suggested, the crash I linked to earlier was likely one of the issues that was fixed in 0.16. As I have not been able to successfully replicate this bug since 0.15 it seems fair to to me to call this one resolved.

Re: Console command help Furnace/machine speed

I don't think that is possible to alter via scripts, those things are specified in the entity prototypes. To change those I think you'd have to make a mod that in data-final-fixes.lua modifies the data table to increase the crafting speed of entities with some multiplier, set it to some fixed value,...

[0.16.2]Game accepts extra comma in info.json

This is most likely a pretty minor issue but never the less: Noticed by accident that the game accepts a incorrect comma on the last value. The mods.factorio.com correctly (I think?) rejects this so it's not really possible to distribute mods with this minor error. Example (is also the attached mod)...

Re: [0.16.2]Scripting train schedule can cause overshoot

The train stop it's switching to is far away giving the train ample time to stop if it wanted to. It's not that it can't it's that it does not attempt to. EDIT: in fact the train does not change speed at all after changing the schedule. It just coasts along at the same speed until it has passed the ...

[aaargha] [0.16.2]Scripting train schedule can cause overshoot

Changing the destination via scripts while a train is in arrive_station can cause it to not properly stop at the next stop, instead it overshoots and gets stuck on no path just past the train stop. To reproduce in the save below: 1. Set the train to auto 2. Run this script when it has passed the haz...

Re: Correct use of train Wait Until Item Count condition

I think that you need to use the "circuit signal", or what ever it's called, wait condition. If you want to compare it to the cargo it should be possible if you enable read cargo on the train stop. I don't think that you can combine the "item count"/"fluid count" with c...

Re: [kovarex] [0.15.37] Early station wait penalty

I would like to thank you from my heart for this report. I knew there was something fishy there, when even 2000 of penalty for train stops wasn't enough to keep trains from going through the stops in my playthrough and clogging my system. I really like nice and clean examples of the bug as you gave...

Re: trains stuck on blue chain signal

I've tested your setup a bit (thanks for sharing the BP string, makes it really easy) and while I noticed the first one happening it was only for about half a second or so at most. The only way I could make a train wait at the blue signal was to put the oldest train in the stacker in manual mode. Th...

Re: 4-way intersections: Throughput and deadlocks [image heavy]

Finally finished my "No Gods" thing, a pro tip is to not use it when disabling stations (or at all - for sanity), I actually had to make an override to disable the instant stop stations, the path changing they caused made it too deadlock prone. There shouldn't be a deadlock on the outer sq...

LTN sounds like a mod that would be likely to conflict with this one, you may want to try it without LTN and see if that works. If it's still not working you're going to have to give a bit more details on what you're doing, what you think should happen and what is happening. Currently I don't really...
