Hi, #1. Anyway you can look into a train update?? so that we can use 1 train car and spit it to have 2 or 3 different items so we can control how much of each go's in.. I know you have a way to use circuits but I can not figure out how to get them to work right, and would rather just do it this way.. however if there is a good and easy way to show me how, I would try
#2. anyway you can put in a update that will stop the trains from going onto side tracks that I do not wish them to and keep them on the main line?? I hate it when a train go's into a side track that has trains in it!! this slow things down big time!!
please let me know
Thank you

Place things in the wagons the way you want them then middle click to set a filter

okay this works like the main supply bar? where we car lock a space to only have 1 thing? cool! BTW is there a way to unlock the supply bar?
Thank you

ctrl + middle click removes the filters on an item slot, both toolbar and trains

cool thank you!!! now how about keeping trains on the main track? anyway to keep them off the side tracks?

How do you expect game to decide which track is main? Manually you can hold the direction button opposite to the turn so that train wouldn't turn when rail splits.

As long as your "main line" is shorter then your "side line", your train(s) will stay on the main line. If the "side line" is shorter though, the train will take that route. I assume that you are encountering this problem with a situation of some sort of loop where the "side line" doubles as a shortcut.
