I'm currently looking to implement a custom double headed locomotive for my shuttle train mod and being as how i haven't touched Maya for a few years I just wondered if anyone with more artistic talent than me (which is practically everyone on the planet) is interested in making the custom spriteshe...

Yeah, realising that trains return to their origin depot not the nearest available one has caused me to rethink my entire depot placement scheme but having spent my last 4 hours in game renovating all my stations to use the excellent new Stack Threshold feature i think I'll settle for just capping t...

Ahh so a train returns to the depot it was originally sent to and not just the nearest available depot, that's something I didn't realise, I'm actually using the encoded position signals at the moment to activate the fuel loading inserters but I came across an issue where if an inserter for a short ...

You could always just use my Shuttle Train mod which basically does this and a lot more besides

Hi Koopa, I'll probably add the ability to change the depot name in the next release once I'm sure its all working as intended, thanks again for your suggestions and support and if you have any more ideas don't hesitate to drop me a line here or on the mod portal :) My next major idea is to re-add t...

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how the system works then, as far as I'm aware when a train has finished its delivery it returns to the nearest available stop marked as a Depot regardless of the stop name? So i would have thought that having an optional check that the stop is suitable for its train len...

Pretty much what it says, is it possible that depots could take into account Min/Max train length signals so that only trains of the correct size return to a specific depot ?

Its a shame fluid wagons don't have multiple compartments like stacks so that you could simulate 2-3 individual tanks in one train which would make it much easier to carry multiple fluids in one train.

It wasn't actually an error report because its not your mod that actually crashed, it was merely an observation that the mods are no longer compatible, apologies for wasting your time

Not sure if this is their fault or yours, but installing the latest update of Loader Redux (1.4.4)now causes my WhistleStop Factories Mod to crash

Here's an API request Shuttle Trains could benefit greatly from as well: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=67199

That would indeed be awesome, voiced my support for this in the thread

Agreed, knowing if there is a valid path between two rail segments before sending a train would indeed be very useful

I got a "C" signal, representing stack capacity of wagons, at each station that goes into treshold calculations. At the beginning i just gave that a constant combinator input, but later i connected all of them to a global circuit network. When the wagon upgrade at the depot is done, i onl...

Shuttle Train Continued now has its own page at viewtopic.php?f=190&t=67072

Oh well, it doesn't hurt to dream the separate options for stacks/fluids is awesome though

Yes, a 2x2 reactor setup (4 reactors) will handle 48 heat exchangers and 83 turbines for a total power of just under 500MW, remember when designing your setup that a pipe can only handle so much steam throughput though, i think its about 24 turbines per pipe. Hope you have plenty of Kovarex enrichme...

Sounds sweet, Is there going to be a default stack size threshold option so i don't have to individually adjust every station when i upgrade my trains to MKII/III cargo wagons ?

nvm, answered my own question by just trying it

Just to clarify, currently im limiting my stocks by -32 and then kicking the trains via circuit signals when the get to max-30 to prevent my loaders from causing problems, could i just set a blocked slot size of 1 instead and do away with all the circuit nonsense ?
