Help with some tweaks
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2025 5:20 pm
Hi,
I need a little help with two setting up a requests.
I'm using a 1 locomotive 2 wagon train system.
1: Manage Quantity Loaded
My current setup works fine as long as the trains run full loads, but I'm not sure how to setup a system where I only want to transport a set quantity.
Let's use Iron Ore. Two cargo wagons = 16K.
What if I only want to transport half that. Currently my trains always collet everything at the pickup station until they are full. I'm not sure how to get then to only take a set amount. Let's say 8K.
Also, the train now waits at the station until it's full. at some smaller outposts this could take a very long time if the resources are trickling in. Because it's waiting for inactivity and it's not triggering.

2: Multi Station Drop-off
Why are the trains not using both stations to drop off? They have the same name, one combinator attached to them. No priority settings.
As you can see, the one train is waiting for the other to move, to unload, but there is an open station with the same name next to it.
