I have been building mini-factories in my train grids, and was using one station with filter inserters to unload only specific items (see picture for an example)
http://prntscr.com/m2tutc
This is an old station that is still using a vanilla station. Is there any way for me to tell LTN to only load (for example) wagon number 2? I could probably figure out a workaround, perhaps let the whole train load up and go to the station, the filter inserters would grab what they needed, and the train would go back to the depot (still partially loaded) where I could unload... But that seems pretty ineffecient.
I do have one factory that uses one stop per different item required, but it takes up a lot more room and is more belt / track / inserter expensive, which is why I was using a single station with filtered unloading.
Is this possible? If not, any suggestions on different methods of setting up a remote factory that play nicely with LTN?
Thanks!

If LTN could correctly guess at what carriage position your station expects which item I'd rework it to play lottery games.
Joking aside, try wide chest spanning the whole train length and use filtered loader or miniloader to output from those. It's by far the simplest and most ups friendly way.

I kind of figured that was the case, but I thought I would ask anyways. I may have to re-think my factory train station designs to fully utilize LTN.Optera wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 6:40 amIf LTN could correctly guess at what carriage position your station expects which item I'd rework it to play lottery games.

Thanks very much for your reply!
