Link logistic networks of train wagons in the same train

Post by blueblue »

Currently if I enable equipment grids for trains and add personal roboports to a train, each wagon will be in a separate network. They should be linked and the robots should be able to take items from all wagons and put them into all wagons of the train. The way it is currently often a bot will pick up items that its wagon wasn't supposed to hold and thus the robot can't return into the wagon and gives me errors about missing storage space instead. Ideally I'd like to build an outpost just by placing a blueprint and routing a train there. That's just not possible currently, which really limits how useful equipment grids are.

Trains don't have equipment in the base game, right? Shouldn't this be in the Modding Interface Requests forum, or something?

I might be wrong but I feel this is more a change to existing elements of the game and less a change to the API the game exposes to modders, which is what I'd post to the modding interface requests forum.
