This train allows multiple different robot networks to request items from your mall/main base. Each requester station can request up to 20 different items. The train will be loaded accordingly at the provider station and delivers the items to active requester stations. If multiple stations activate before the train left the provider station, the train will supply the active stations in one go. You can also load the train at the requester e.g. to recycle wood and rocks. Other requesters filter their items, and the provider will unload the train as soon as all requesters are offline.
Setup:
- Connect all stations (power poles) with red wire. Set items and quantity at the constant combinator for each requester station. Turn on the combinator to activate the requester.
- The combinator next to it sets the "R" value. That's the critical amount activating the station when a requested item amount falls below (default is 5). *The combinator at the provider station can be used to define an intermediate storage.
- The inserters inserting into the roboports (requester stations) regulate the amount of robots in the network. Change the numbers if you want more or less (default 200).
- Train scedule: Provider, Requester 1, Requester 2, Requester 3, etc.
