The idea is to unite the rail network with the logistic network and the liquid transport. The remaining free area is to be used for power generation. The blueprints are divided into sizes that correspond to the logistical range of the Roboports.
The rail network is very modular and easy to set up. There are only T-Junctions and straight segments. If an intersection is needed, I simply connect two T junctions. Outside my own base I am still not quite sure about the design of the rail network. That's why the blueprints are not included. The only thing I'm sure of is that you should do without the pipes. I also have modular defense lines and production segments. But I'm not satisfied with them enough to share them with you.
The ratio between solar and accumulators is not perfect, but approximated. In case of doubt, more accumulators were used.
My trains consist of 4 cars and a locomotive. Here the locomotive is set at last place to keep the stations short. As long as you don't use nuclear fuel, the trains accelerate a little slower, but as soon as you switch to Nuclear they have maximum acceleration.
The stations are Circulet network controlled. The loading stations are activated automatically as soon as there is enough material for a full train. All stations send a cyan signal as soon as loading or unloading is finished. If a unloading station does not have enough space for an entire train, no cyan signal will be sent. This makes it necessary that each unloading station has its own unique name and its own train. The loading stations should be named the same after material. The stations work with objects that have 50 stacks. For other stack sizes, the 0 signal must be adjusted at the constant combinator.
I have deliberately avoided individual stations. Deconstruction of full stations is tedious and annoying. I have often stated in the planning that I still need another staton and so I have reserves in case of doubt
Here are the blueprints: https://pastebin.com/zpCcJ1t4
T-Junction
Straight
4x Unloding Station - 2 Segments
4x Loading Station - 2 Segments
Clean Segment
- Solar SegmentFrom the outside to the inside, I have placed these as follows:
- Water
- Oil
- Heavy
- Light
- Gas
- Lubricant
- Acid
I am still testing. I have around 25 trains at moment
I am happy about inspirations. I have also been inspired by the reading here and yet have certainly missed one or two points.
