Single Train Circuited Unloading with Hysteresis (Version 2)

#Single Train Circuited Unloading with Hysteresis (Version 2)

Simply Drop this wherever you would like to unload a single train, and set the type and amount of material to be unloaded in the constant combinator. Set any trains going to this station to leave if Signal Condition F > 0 .

The power pole closest to the train station has a copy of all the signals going to the station, so you can easily see what the train sees.

This station does the following things:

• Filters unloading based on the item type in the constant combinator.
• Stops unloading when the chests contain the number of items set in the constant combinator.
• Outputs an F signal when it stops unloading, and sends that signal to the train.
• Outputs a Green signal when the chests are at least half full.
• Disables the train station when the chests are at least half full.

This is in some ways a complicated way of solving an easy problem. The same could be achieved by:

• Setting limits on chests
• Manually setting the filter inserters.
• Sending all chest contents to the train station
• Manually setting the train station enable condition
• Setting the train leave condition to based on a pre-set number of items in the chest

Note: Picture is missing a green wire between the power pole and train station, and is of Version 1.

Changelog:

Version 2:

• Removed the stack inserters
• Added support for more than one item type

To really make use of this feature, switch the stack filter inserters out for regular filter inserters.
