I realized there were two choices. One, I could rebuild my train station and smelting so that I could provide 16 blue belts of material to each station. This would for now, resolve the issue. Two, I could build more smelting and create additional stations. Four stations with the current capacity would also solve the problem. Okay, that's the setup. Here is the question:
How do people get trains coming in for product to cycle through the available stations? If I had four copper plate loading stations, all using the same incoming train parking lot, how do I keep trains from going to stations which are running low on plates? The easy thing would seem to be summing the chests and disable the station below a certain level. That would work, although it doesn't feel very satisfactory. I'm looking for something more elegant. A way to have the train directed to the currently available station with the most plates. Is there a way I could do that which isn't terribly complicated? I understand it would be somewhat complicated, I just want to be able to understand it.
