Hi
I pretty new with this mod and i have problem with it:

I have 3 train stops who has pump jacks and they fill up some storage tanks, for example 8 of them that would be approx 200k of crude oil.

Then i have 1 station at my oil process with a total of storage of 2.2mil of crude oil, and this is filled to the fullest. Now i want this to not complete empty out so that i only have let say 100k in storage.

Then i want this station to demand 100k of crude oil, but only when its 5k of crude oil left in storage.

How do i set up this config?

Best regards Jerry

beside all the problems you get with your setup (not enough pressure because of low storage tanks, running out of oil till train arrives) , you need to set up the threshold like shown in the description post.

So max storge-the amount at which a train should be called = threshold

Thanks, i will take a look at this suggestion, and hope it will wok.

Hi

I dont get this to work, think i have tried all the ways. Attached pic is what i want to do with my LTN, this is a test area tho.

I missed spelled to the left in the pic, it should say "down to 5K"

]ok.. i try to explain the setup (i use most of the times the blue prints from the one book in the Design thread )

Unloading:
first connect all tanks with a arithmetic combinator (input) and set "each*1" and output "each" (yellow star) . From there on the output connect it with the lamp from the LTN stop.

Now connect a constant combinator where you set threshold 195.000 and min/max size of trains to the lamp. next another constant combinator with Oil -200.000 (dont miss the MINUS symbol), also to the lamp
All same color of wire. Yes, it will fill up the tanks then slowly to 200.000 ^^

Loading:

same as above with tanks
on the constant combinator you set min/max train size + provide threshold , would say 25.000 .
Then you send your train on automatic to your depot stop. Rest LTN will do.

Wow, thats one sweet instruction. I will test this setup and get back to you.

Thanks in advance. Jerry

Hi

I got this to work, but now i only want to have the pumps to fill the train with the requested amount, say 10k. How do i wire/setup this up?
