Inserter is "waiting for train", while train is standing at the station shouting "destination full"

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Not in vanilla with trains. Unless you can use oil or methan barrels in trains?

They introduced it in the nuclear reactor and then mods picked it up and used it in other places. For example Nullius has among others Hydrogen Canisters that burn and leave behind Water Canisters. It's often used as a way to make trains use liquid fuel. Several mods have liquids with fuel value that you can put into a barrel and use as fuel for trains.
i dont think the trains have a spent fuel slot though? maybe it's something that's done via lua scripting and composite entities. that would make sense, but its expensive.

Number of burnt fuel inventory slots is specified in the energy_source, along with the number of fuel slots. https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/EnergyS ... ntory_size
