Heya,

I have a train with an equipment wagon (A cargo wagon with an equipment grid).

The roboport equipment DOES work (robots are sent out in range of the train/wagon) when the train is being driven on 'Manual', but when the train is on 'Automatic' the robots don't leave the train.

My default expectation that the change from automatic/manual should not make a difference whether construction robots go out and do their thing.

My use case is to make this train go to certain stations on far perimeter outposts, park at a station, and then do repairs etc. However, it can only do this while manually driving the train - But I'd of course rather have a few trains do this automated.

Cheers

From looking at the code - and from how I wrote it years ago - it should already work like this.

Do you have a save I can sync-mods with and test locally?

Yep, no problem. Find the save attached.

The Factorio+ mod which adds the grid has not set on the rolling stock.

Thank you, that is my fault. I'll update the mod.
