Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Disabled station signal?

Post by neetzow »

I want to make a circuit network do some stuff, but I need to know if a given train station is disabled (not empty) or not. Is there a way to have a signal for disabled station transmitted to a circuit network somehow?

Yes, this is possible.

1. If the stop uses the "disable" circuit condition, replicate the same comparison in a decider combinator to see when it is disabled by circuit.
2. If the stop has a train limit set, have the stop output the number of trains inbound and check if it is >= to the limit (either the constant limit or the signal setting the limit).
3. If either of the above two conditions are true, then the stop is disabled.

Thank you very much! That's so easy but somehow I couldn't think of it.


To the forum moderators: If there's a "close topic option", I don't know how to do it, but I consider the above answer sufficient.
