limit trains by composition signal #93
Comments
The problem with using composition as filter instead of train size was explained in an post in the old discussion thread:
|
so you're saying that having these composition signals is basically useless as it doesn't prevent trains that mismatch the station design from getting sent there. I guess you're going to say one can do things with the outputs but rather than setting up overly complex, large (and expensive) circuitry at every station dealing with decoding the signal then disable some inserters / pumps it'd be much more fitting to do that in the request and only send matching trains. |
Composition signals are read only signals used to create stations capable of servicing multiple compositions |
I still wish for something like this in order to differentiate between solid and fluid trains. While I think I understand the forward/reverse ambiguity argument, how about the following logic:
Using similar logic, a train could select a depot to which is should return:
Apologies for rehashing an old issue here, but I'd really like to see this work in order to avoid composing trains in which length indicates composition (primarily in order to standardize station blueprints). |
Since 1.7.0 stations can be assigned multiple network IDs. |
Fair enough. That handles every concern I can think of which would make use of train composition as input. Thanks for the feedback. |
There are two kind of trains available to LTN, a 1-1-1 and a 1-2-1.
The target station outputs 5 for encoded locomotive location, but LTN keeps creating the order on a 1-2-1 train, which doesn't match the locomotive locations asked for.
It also created an order on a 1-1-1 afterwards for a target station requesting a locomotive location of 9 and cargo wagon location of 6, which is asking for 1-2-1 trains.
LTN 1.6.1 on Factorio 0.16.10
