Unloader with balanced wagons.

Post by EmptyRov »

Most train unloaders only care about getting the resources evenly on the belts, but that leads to one or more wagons emptying slower than the others. Eventually that will reduce throughput by keeping the train in the station with multiple empty wagons.

This compendium of train unloaders is focused on balancing of wagons, chests, belts and lanes. There are 6 blueprints of different tiers of belt and inserters, for use throughout the game.
The belt output may may be slightly less than fully compressed, but it is steady. The content of all the chests can be read at the big electric pole.

I've found this other solution to unload equally from all the wagons.
I Use a circular belt around the train to unload, with some underground belts to fill both the lanes, then the inserter take the ore from there and discharge them into other underground belts that pass under the rails.
To fill these belts on both the lanes i turned some underground belts as you can see in the image.

Here is another way.
Provided you empty the belts equally later on, its balanced, and fully compressed.
