Jump on train automation

Post by Bartimeus1191 »

I have think about a "jump" with a condition into the programmation on the train.
Example : i got a train who go in order 1."load ore 1"
2."load ore 2"
3."drop ore"
What I mean is a "jump" with (for example) "if wagons full" go directly to "drop ore".*

Thanks for your attention

I agree with the suggestion. However, it has already been suggested in the following threads:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=49214 Train Entry-Condition

Adding a condition for stations in the trains schedule would solve this, and add even more functionality. Just like the condition for leaving the station, a second one for going there in the first place.

You don't need a new condition for stations for this. Instead make it a new option in the train stop conditions like (for "load ore 1"):

Cargo full
AND goto station "drop ore"
OR inactivity 5s

When the "Cargo full" condition matches the second part of the AND is evaluated and the train leaves for "drop ore". Otherwise when the buffer chests run empty it keeps going to "load ore 2".
