@@taeko1019 I think if you use empty platform you can decide which loads to take and leave. Like you put iron in your first wagon, coal in the second, and idk quartz on the third ; at the train station if you want to unload only the coal you put a loading/unloading station on the second part of your wagon and for the other wagon you put empty platform.

This was incredibly helpful. I didn't know that Bidirectional trains were a thing, I now know the point of the empty station buildings are to have one train un/load specific cars, and i have a bit more confidence with junctions though it still looks like magic to me (like most programming). I just have a single loop taking fuel from the West beach to a cluster of power stations in the southern plains, and I know that's not the best use of the system, but I'd just unlocked the tech and that was the furthest base I had at the time. I'm kind of going through an overhaul of everything I've made, attaching things to the world grid and incorporating verticality as i learn more about the game.

Several other video I watched on satisfactory trains said blocks at the entrance and paths at the exit but I think yours makes more sense and I just tried it and it works perfectly fine.
@richardpayne
7 ай бұрын
For the simple fork junction you signal up at 9:31, you really don't need path signals. Block signals on entrance and exit is fine. Path signals are useful for complex junctions where it is possible for two trains to use the junction and the same time without colliding. The fork does not have this possibility and so the path signal is overly complex.

At around 2 minutes in I discovered there was something that you'd normally not think of as being questionable. But I very much disagree with the concept of starting off with a placing down a train station. In my first playthrough I did do that. But I learnt from that as well. It's actually best in my opinion even though you can't use it. To start off with some track. You will need to keep in mind that the train station is big. So if you want to place it down to get a feel for it's size and then remove it fine. But focus on finding a way to make your track work before building the station as it's part of your factories building. Similar to why you'd prefer building a foundation before putting down a 'Miner' You want to figure out where it would be suitable for your trainstation to become attached. Especially in the northern forests with the big tree's you could end up with very windy tracks if you don't figure out your tracks first. There is a lot of lee-way with tracks capable of very unrealistic grades. In the end though how you build a line is up to the player.

well, when you put it that way.... It can be used to send the same items across different parts of the map, without having to belt across the entire map. But that being said, I've ran belt buses before across the map no problem, so it's a preference I guess.

trains can get a much higher throughput with much lower cost to add new resources if you hook up a new factory to an existing rail network you don't need to run an entire new line to the place you want to use those resources / from the places you want to get resources from
@catgirlQueer

each freight car is effectively (almost, because of the loading animation) 1560 items per minute, to double the throughput you don't need to double your bus, you just add another freight car

I want to make a Train with 4 Different Pick Up Stations would it work when i build it like Frist Pickup has "Trainstation - Fraight Platform - Empty - Empty - Empty " and on the second has "Trainstation - Empty - Fraight Platform - Empty -Empty" and so on ?
@spectrumdad_
Жыл бұрын
In a way yes. But you’ll want to have the same total amount of platforms on all stations for the same train. So in your second one I would remove the last empty for example. That way the first one grabs the first wagon, the second station grabs the second wagon.
