Palletization
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2023 10:28 pm
Similar things have been suggested, but I dont think it was in this way.
It doesnt seem like a mod can implement this one.
Implementation would be to include moveable "crates" - pallettes, which could be loaded, unloaded, and regardless of its content (full or not), moved on a vehicle or a (possibly pallet specific) belt.
Following would need to be implemented:
Pallettes (moveable crates themselves). This seems to be necessary, as in the current form, the engine does not support this entity.
Pallette Belts and movers - some logistics to move pallettes, necessary for the idea to make sense. Should be graphically distinct from standard belts, and instead of inserters, there could be for example cranes.
Some misc things - pallette rail cars and , etc.
Conteinerization - the same idea, but larger in scale, where whole top of a rail car could be unloaded on gantry crane, and replaced by new one, without the need to empty the container first.
