The idea was to summon the train, yes. And sure, it will skip the first station as it immediately gets disabled again. But then the train switches to the next station in it's schedule, i.e. the second one. Essentially, one station "summons" the train to another. Ok, but that's not that ha...

I was thinking about a setup with two chained stations and a single train depot. Train depot only has one exit, so only one train can leave it at a time. Two stations at resource pickup work in tandem and the trains at the depot are scheduled to visit both of them in order. First station is disable...

Ok folks, I believe I've come up with a reasonably ellagant solution. This is how it looks. Red wire goes across the high voltage power poles next to my tracks, between the wait station, and the mines. The wait station is a long track that goes nowhere (loops back on itself, not a route other trains...

[...] Here's where my idea sits now. All mines named the same, the mine having a 2 cargowagon loading spot, calls the train by pulse out the "I" (for iron) signal +1 (IE: send an iron train), and enabling the stop (other ores can use other letters). Red network connected between the "...

The zoom level at which the map switches from 'map view' to 'world view' was increased. WHY ? :( Map view lost its advantage I can see why they did this. If you are zoomed out fully in world view and want to view ore levels, etc, switching to map view fully zoomed in gives the same level of zoom bu...

Anybody else notice that under the train station, "read stoppped train" can be checked, assigned a variable, however when you exit/return, it's no longer clicked (however it does appear to still advertise the stopped train)? Is it just me?!

Update. Found the relevant thread: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=32994 Hope that helps. :-) I'm not really that worried about blow-past to be honest, so I'm not sure if that'll help much. I didn't have any clue how to use combinators this time yesterday, and was having troub...

Obviously not a problem, but popping open my save from last night, I get a dialogue box, reading: " Migrated content Removed decoratives red-desert-decal 34 " I'm assuming some of the decal graphics changed and what have you... Just figured I'd post here in case this was unexpected (so at ...

I tried setting up a read signal, in the middle of the station, to set the iron value on red to -2.0M (thus making the boxes look empty, and to disable the station once a train was already in it), but the obvious thing happened. Train rolls up, station gets disabled on the spot, train rolls away......

i dont test the train behavior if a train load/unload and the trainstation goes offline, maybe it need an OR logic from the trainstation railsignal like RED OR Condition but in general you can setup something like this http://i.imgur.com/2BGO9sO.jpg Hrm, Ok, so I setup a "wait" station, g...

i dont test the train behavior if a train load/unload and the trainstation goes offline, maybe it need an OR logic from the trainstation railsignal like RED OR Condition but in general you can setup something like this Yeah, I ran across another thread, where the devs mentioned it was a new feature...

i think the issues you have is that a Train that qued in an occupied trainstation dont have a chane to Bypass the Station to drive to a different one, a 2nd Option is to disable a transtation with logic so for a mining Station is there less then your Train can hold disable the station Curious, you ...

It takes careful chain signaling to get them to stop in the right places too. Basically my rule is a train should not leave the waiting bay unless it is going to a station or repathing around the station. Oh also I use circuit signals to close the stations unless there is enough ore in the chests t...

Reviving the dead here, but I hit this thread by google, looking for the exact same thing. I'm playing a deathworld setup, base settings (so ore patches are frequent enough, but relatively tiny, especially with the exceptional resource demands). micro-management of dropping in mines and stations is ...

... I totally agree with what _Hertz_ said. Increasing the length like that was not a good idea. :? I'm going to counter, and disagree in that case :D Longer belts, that require more resource inputs aren't a bad thing. By the time you have blue belts, you already have a logistics network. This enco...

#1 tank with actual upgradable flamethrower would be even more broken than it is now. It would have no problems even with behemoths, just spraying everything with fire and watching it die . . . even poison capsules are close to that today, but you can't see through them (which you need for avoiding...

For #1: I understand that the tank flame thrower was a quick addition that is intended to become something else (acid sprayer was mentioned) later. It is not supposed to be a proper flame thrower, but a short range area weapon to keep biters off you while retreating or whatever. As for #2: If you n...

Ok, so I'm playing my new 0.15 deathworld, and this is pretty savage, I'm loving it, but I've run into two oddities: #1 - So the tank was essential, one of the first times I could ever say that. I was at deadlock with the biters before it... I couldn't help but notice though that the flamethrower lo...

So one thing I would like to know after reading this is, are the features you cut for 1.0 gone forever or can we hope to see them in mayne a DLC later on? Reason I am asking is because you previously mentioned the possibility to add the space station idea through a DLC. I agree with this. The one t...

I just learned that in 0.15 water becomes steam when heated. I wonder if you can barrel steam? If yes, does it become water when barreled? (I haven't actually played 0.15 yet). This just gave me a crazy idea; Perhaps you can make use of this functionality somehow and make it so you need to cool dow...
