disable blueprinted stop until ready

[npuldon]

What signal do I use in the provider/request station blueprint constant combinator so that the station is not automatically available to the LTN until I am ready? I guess for a requester I should just have a very high provider threshold and not set a default request in the blueprint but I'm not sure for the provider side of things.

Also, is there an update LTN Manual? The one I've found is from 2017

Thank you

How to disable stops:

• disable the stop like any vanilla stop
• short circuit any 2 of the 3 entities
• set a different Network ID
• set impossible size limits >= 2 and <= 1
• set impossible thresholds

I probably skipped over some less obvious ways to disable a stop.

Also, is there an update LTN Manual? The one I've found is from 2017

That's the creation date. I did not anticipate features like depot priority 3 years in advance.

I'll take that as a 'No' on the updated manual I guess. I would make one but I don't have the insider scoop.


Separate topic:

What is a straight forward / simple methodology or two for using the network ID signals given that higher numbers encompass lower numbers. I could come up with something if everything was decimal and 7 did not include 1,2,4 but I'm having trouble understanding how to make this signal useful with this feature

What is missing from it? The manual thread and Optera's station examples will teach all there is to know about the mod...

[npuldon]

I don't know. It's been 3 years. Figured there's been updates to the mod that would make the manual incomplete. It sounds like you believe that is not the case.

Again, creation date does not equal update date.

Maybe how the encoded wagon/locos signals work? and again, maybe some ways on how to use the network IDs in a practical way.

Thanks for the thread link. I can see from reading the thread that there is some confusion as the topic and how to implement it is not very intuitive for those not already in the know. I will give it a shot.

Check out the LTN Combinator mod (also pinned in this channel) It makes encoding network IDs super easy, barely an inconvenience.
