Conditional train stop selection on per-train basis

Post by Plop and run »

According to the last fff, you can turn off train stations. This does not allow trains to pick their destinations based on the load: you cannot set up a refuel station that trains visit only if they are out of fuel. You cannot skip a copper loading station if the cargo is full. Please allow.us to set conditions on per-train basis, as well as per-station basis. This can be done by adding the train's fuel and cargo contents to the train station logic: "if the approaching train has more than 5k copper, skip this station".

Except this is not a wait condition. Trains should ignore the refueling station if they have enough fuel, while trains with empty tanks should not. Maybe I'm missing something, but you cannot have this logic if you just connect the station to the network.

Klonan can we guess that some day most of SmartTrains mod features will be implemented (one way or another) in vanilla game? To be honest is would be awesome.

I'm more or less sure there is much, that can be modded, so it makes sense to see how we can play with this and then mod in, what's missing...
