now actually, shuttle train lite might be still of help here, despite it being a .16 mod.

You enter a train, start typing your destination, press . and off you go.

I have dabbled in the code a bit, and maybe I could see if it is manageable to get it to .17

I dunno man, I got a serious amount of trains tops myself:
I have a very strict grid naming scheme however, this helps in finding them.

that does not seem to be the case, I need to modify the mod folder as well to be the same name as the mod, if I dont do this factorio complains about the folder name within the mod zit. And then all references to that mod folder in data.lua have to be changed as well. So far so good, but even when I...

ok, back on topic again, it seems I placed the cart before the horse. I was a tad too focused on my solution I didn't see other issues with my implementation. Right now I have the issue with my changes that if I enter the train I do need to click elsewhere than the textbox if I want to leave the tra...

Well, I posted my version here but I cannot figure out to make a decent version for the mod portal, I have to give it a new name, fine I thought, just add, e to the end and modify data.lua to refer to new resource locations. But in game the entire UI fails to load, I seem to be missing something the...

for those still on .16 I modified some stuff, but I cant figure out at the moment how to rename the entire mod without horribly breaking an upgrade path. My version is on github here and attached to this post. The only changes are: - Focus filter textbox when entering a shuttle train - Unfocus filte...

Well, enable/disable logic causes a hard crash in Factorio, lua code: local function unfocusFilter(p, frame) if frame.one and frame.one["shuttle-lite-filter"] then local enabled = frame.one["shuttle-lite-filter"].enabled frame.one["shuttle-lite-filter"].enabled = not en...

afaik LTN picks the station with the lowest stock first (given equal priority) so you your deliveries are smaller than what the supplier can provide within a delivery timeframe resources will get distributed rather evenly over the requesters, does result in lots of small train loads though

no problem, I will try your change and report back if it works.

After that I'll release my version, but it is not that useful anymore, since .17 temporary train stops made the whole shuttle thing kind of redundant imho. Still, I am stuck on .16 for at least another 200 hours I'd wager.

Hi, I am modifying shuttle train lite a bit to fix some of the annoyances I have with it. One of these is that when you press . to go to the top station or select a station from the list, the textbox remains focused, this prevents me from exiting the train when I arrive (by pressing enter) as the te...

almost 35 here.

you want to have 1 reserved slot per item you want to insert into a wagon. This results in the overflow going into that slot (which only has a few items in it) and the inserter being empty and ready to pick up something else.

edit: reserved slots is a signal value by the way.

it is if you are setting up signals in the reverse direction of travel. if you want your signals to be 4 wagons apart, but start from the first, you need to look, "ah there is 4 cars" move your cursor to that spot, place signal, move back to first signal, and verify you placed correct and ...

at least in my seablock it doesn't no.

no big deal imho, you cant recycle everything, and this adds a bit of challenge, you cant just spam the same blueprint all over, from time you need to make sure you get additional resources supplied, etc.

Can we have a bugs left count in every FFF until the new version, please?
[..]

Just look at the number of threads in the bug reports subforum, that is your count.

personally I use wagon -> filtered loader -> loader -> wooden chest -> belt

This is a minimal buffer, but I don't know the slot iteration cost vs loaders cost.

I might be late to the discussion here, but doesnt the game already have a concept of a list of missing construction items? The alert you get when there are missing items for construction shows which items are missing. Granted, this list varies and is limited by the number of active build requests, ...

there are mods that offer this, but in general I use a check valve with a pump in this case.

I think the main advantage you get is that you can mix the ingots with other metals to end up with more steel.

you could add an inactivity check for 5 seconds.

Adding fuel resets this, so your train will wait as long as fuel is being added.
