Why does "each" not work in the train schedule?

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

Why does "each" not work in the train schedule?

Post by Kerfaigar »

Here's the schedule:
Also, note, station reads train's contents and there's another signal with matching station name on the red wire for testing purposes.

What I'm trying to do is have the train check if any of the items in cargo is accepted by any of the available stations. Wildcard doesn't work perfectly, because it settles on the first condition and can't go to other stations if there's another item that has a corresponding available station.
I thought that each might help instead, but no.
Is there a way to do it with train schedule alone? I know It'd be doable with deciders, but I'd rather have the trains wait and deliver items in order than do that.

Are you sure it doesn’t work? I have not tried “Each” myself in schedules.

It is possible to put the anything signal in a train condition; while there is no visual indicator of the circuit condition it operates just fine.

I tried playing around with "Any", but didn't manage to make that work either. I think the issue is that I need to check multiple stations, but it seems like by the time wildcard in station name is replaced, the wildcards in circuit conditions must be settled and only one target station name can be waited for.
