Train limit not working

[felixacat]

Hello,
Im having a problem with train limits singal not doing what what i think should work.
I have looked over my singals and wiring could not find a problem, So i download a test map from a guy who was explaining his LTN train stops

spoiler

His topic = viewtopic.php?f=194&t=47773 the Test map itself https://www.dropbox.com/s/sjh35nl1lrwvv ... p.zip?dl=1

Im stuck on the same problem.

requesting station

Providing station

The only way i chould make it work is by removing the train limit signal from the requesting station.
This will offcourse result in 8+ trains leaving the depo and locking my requesting station.

Did i miss something or did i stumble on a bug ?

From what I could see this map uses 4 wagon trains which means LTN can transport 50*40*4=8k ore per train.
The requester you posted wants 73k iron ore = 9,125 train loads.
So ofc LTN will send that many trains to fulfill the request unless limited by max trains.

Might not have explained it correctly, i fully understand that when i remove the train-limit singal more then one train will come to fulfill the stations request.

The problem im having is that when i have a train-limit singal inplace no train is assigned to the providing station. there all idling in depo.
Only when i remove the singal the trains start to react to the station.

In your requester screenshot I see yellow = 2 meaning 2 trains are currently en route to it.

I'm also having similar problems with this; I have stations set to limit 1 train, but quite frequently I'm getting a train in a station, and another backed up outside. I've even been in a situation where I had 3 or 4 trains backed up! How can I try to debug this myself? I've seen mention of a log; how can I enable this and read it?

If a train times out after 5 min., a new train gets scheduled. Maybe this is the case here?
Afaik, after timeout, LTN does not control/track it anymore and it behaves like a normal train with a schedule until it gets back to depot.

For logging: There is a Mod setting: Map -> Enable debug log, which writes to factorio-current.log
There is also the possibility to change timeouts

I think this must be the answer - i had had an issue with improperly set up inserters, causing trains to not get loaded, which must have caused timeouts, blocking the track causing other timeouts. Thank you!
