I wanted to build a sorting unloading station for trains that disables the train station if the chests are not empty.
However the enable option on the train station only gives me the possibility to check a specific item.

How can i check whether a chest has ANY items in it?

Use the virtual signal "everything" (the star in a red box on the tab that looks like a circuit board). Set the condition to "everything = 0".

hmmm what happens if you disable a station while a train is unloading?

For a train already at the station nothing changes, it only affects trains with that station as destination.
