I've looked at the mod portal for a mod or mod pack that'll tell me when a train is out of fuel, or getting low. Anyone know of such a beast?

There was a mod i used in 0.14 that would alert me when a train was stuck somewhere; due to a signal, low fuel or otherwise. I think it was called fat controller

This is not exactly what you asked for but maybe an alternative way to get the desired result?

(I tend to have the station at the Factory last and the refueling stations between the base stations and the mainline, so they can refuel after delivering their cargo and before going to outposts)

[FOUND/No Longer Req'd] Alert when train out of fuel

The Fat Controller does what I need it to do, without being too overbearing. I found Logistic Train Network after the fact, and have all my trains associated to fill up while waiting for a new job, so I kind of solved my problem. However, this Fat Controller does add an extra layer of awareness to what the trains are doing, so bonus.

Thanks.
