Greetings,

i have a distant uranium mine with tanks for sulfuric acid and of course i have tanks with sulfuric acid on a track near my refinery.

I would like to setup that the train will go to supply the mine only when tanks there are bellow specific level.

How to do it without draging red/green wire from the mine to the refinery ?

thanks in advance

David

By draging red/green wire from the mine to the refinery.

Or: Park your train at the mine and let only leave if acid is empty. Needs a dedicated train each uranium mine but who cares. Trains stack at 10.

Disable your outpost's receiving station when tanks are full.

When tanks get below set level, enable the station. Train moves out, refills the tanks and goes back while stations gets disabled again.

I have wired the Tank to the unloading station of the sufluric acid. The Station is only active when tank falls below a certain volume (around a full train tank)

In my sulfur-factory is the waiting sulfuric-acid-train waiting for any station which gets active.

Works like a charm for currently 8 mining locations.
