Hey

Not sure if its a bug, a feature, or i just need glasses.
But is there no way to sent a half filled oil train on its way ?
i seem to have an item option for everything but actual fluids.

Hmm, would have thought this would be done under the "Item Count" option, but you can't select a liquid there. Perhaps an over sight in the release?

Maybe you have to scroll for it, there's a fluid count condition.

Derp.

You are correct, there is a "Fluid Count". Don't know how I managed to overlook it the first time. So, right -- the original poster wants to select Fluid Count as a wait condition and within that you can select the specific liquid and the amount...

Why doesn't item count allow fluids too? What makes fluid need their own option?

Not sure if you're still investigating this problem, but I recently discovered, out of necessity, the possibility to have a train depart to the next station after a set time, I.E. you could determine the time it takes for a given level of fluid to fill the train, adding an AND/OR wait condition set to this time.
