Vanilla Train Stop for Fuel
Does not use LTN (or any other mod).
Designed for 2 header trains.
Train station is placed 1 tile ahead of existing trains
1-1 Fuel train must be provided
Automatically disables station unless it needs fuel (station reads chest contents)
Fuel inserters are disabled when fuel train is present by reading train contents.
Enabled when Solid Fuel = 0 (i.e. train does not contain Solid fuel)
This means the inserters are disabled when train does contain Solid Fuel
Enabled at all other times
Currently setup for solid fuel. (Signal must be changed for different fuel types)
Combinator is needed to turn chest contents signal into F. This prevents the station from loading fuel back into the fuel car
