And i would also use the train limit at each ore patch , to make sure not too many trains goes to the same ore patch from the waiting area. ( closer ore patch you set limit to 1 or 2, and further ore patch that requires more trains due to distance , set the limit to 4-5 , very very far or very smal...

Is this a test setup or do you actually use it?

Clear case of really bad design.

Simply add a dedicated exit to the roundabouts.
No need for some weird pathfinding boogaloo.

quite simple: add a train limit to the unloading station. Set it to 4, one train will be at the station and up to 3 will be in the stacker. If there are more trains that are ready to go to the unloader they will wait at the ore field and not depart before there are less than 4 trains going to the un...

I hope this helps you.
Make sure that the signals on both sides of the track are lined up.

Hello, I am a vanilla player. I actually prefer death world, because biters are way to easy to kill and on default settings the groups are way too small. Trainworld has no biter expansion and the ore fields are larger/ further apart. Later on its just clearing land and expanding the grid. With biter...

Construction in 2D, with 3D only for some joyride? what comes to my mind is mashinky. Basically a train simulator, where you can jump on a train and take a ride in a detailed 3d model with several fixed camera positions. This combinated with a cinematic mode like back in the day in driver1. But I t...

But I think that the closer station will be priorized over the other station.

My ore fields usually are built to be "placed and forgotten" I remove them once they dried up completly. I usually place a speed module in the miners with the highest expected resources to even it out a little. But usually its not worth to deal with this kind of micromanagment. You can lea...

I think this is what you are looking for.

You can add more input lanes but it will give you a balanced output.
The input lanes are used equally.

I guess there is no ultimate answer to this. Sometimes its handier to smelt at the mining outpost and sometimes its easier to smelt at each production site. There are many things that can affect it like available space in the early stage or things like resource patch layout. One time I had built a m...

Sorry my bad.

It works the way I suggested it.

TL;DR Show every piece of wall on the mini map show all walls on the mini map I noticed that only every second tile of walls is displayed on the mini map. I would prefer if the algorythm for showing entities on the mini map would be more sensitive. Now every second row is skipped and if a single wa...

I would replace this messy intersection with a roundabout.

deactivating biter expansion means, that no new biter nests are created. They spawn once uppon chunk creation. Normally a group of biters is sent out from time to time from existing nests. They find a new spot, some biters sacrifice themselves and create spawners or worms at this new location. Once ...

it can get messy if you are at the construction site.
Some of your personal bots get a task, but you dont have the materials with you.

But because the task is taken a network construction bot cant take this task.

I have not intentions of using my trains as weapons. If any biters ever get close to one of my trains, something has already gone very, very wrong. Do you wall everything in? I stopped doing that since artillery was available. Biters can easily be kept away from rails, when the artillery range is s...

Whatever it is, if it's red, it's not your friend.

It could also be a biter moving to a gathering point for the next attack wave

Literally, biters are generated from thin (polluted) air, right? As each as a cost in pollution. But they are also definitively generated without pollution, so how it works, this generation over time? "If a chunk's pollution is greater than 20, each enemy spawner absorbs 20 + 0.01 * [chunk's p...

Flickering lights is most probably reason of missing SR latch on the power plant connection.

I mean the flickering when the lasers start to fight off biters.
Every accumulator can provide 300kW and I have thousands of them.
Lasers need a lot of power, but only for a very short time.
