Wait Condition: Station disabled

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Wait Condition: Station disabled

Post by Speadge »

TL;DR
disabling a station cause its empty doesnt make the waiting train leave to go to another station

What ?
My Suggestion is, that there could be a condition that checks if the current station is still enabled. If this is not true, the train leaves, cause someone might wanted no trains here -> why it is disabled.
I know it can be done by adding circuits and sending them to train - but it would be easier to use when its a standard condition
Why ?
Mining-trains could automatically leave stations and go to the next active one (after returning to their requester), instead of waiting on dead (or temp. unavailable) Stations possible forever.
Needig to add circuits for that might make it more complex for unexperienced to use this basic "automation"

You can use leave at "... or circuit signal" amd send the disable station signal also to train.

If you don`t want to use circuits how will you disable a station at all.

Can be moved to implemented.

Alternatively you can set conditions on trains for " inactivity : XX seconds " .

If a station is empty, the train will stay inactive and then leave for the next one. Easy , and no circuit.
