vanilla train delivery
- for double-headed 2-4-2 trains
- use constant combinator for requests
- turn off constant combinator after request
- all requester-stations have the same name
- connect green cables via big power poles
system-features:
-
loads trackside-buffer & train with exact quantities, while using stackinserter bonuses
-
excess from robotic network stays at homebase, repurposing through active providers
-
multiple reciever stations possible (signals are turned off after delivery)
-
train can collect trash from outpost
-
train returns home after delivery
-
requests can only be made at outpost-station.
-
sender-station reads train and starts "immediately" (7 ticks) after request is loaded onto train
-
requester-outpost switches on a green lamp, when train has left sender-station
-
uses only one wire (green)
-
uses z-index for trainline-usage
-
sends only pulses on trainline (no permanent signals)
-
system is "immune" to signals without or wrong z-index (unless wrong signals are sent without z-index AND during a communication-tick with correct z-index)
-
wrong singals (z != 753) will be ignored
-
only accepts requests when train is at home (blue light is off)
train wait conditions:
- sender-station: circuit signal G > 0
- requester station: 3 seconds of inactivity
quirks:
- train waits indefinitely if request can't be fulfilled.
- train must be started manually when requested items are not fully available.
- fills only one wagon. beware of requests larger than 40 stacks. train must be started manually when request exeeds wagon-capacity, until trackside-buffer is delivered or manually emptied.
- will not unload trash-items when request is made before unloading is completed. train must be started manually and will deliver trash to outpost.
- user needs a bunch of combinators for "outdoor-deployment" (lamps are optional)
global variables: z = index (global), 753 in blueprint u = "usage" (global), sent only together with z, communicates usage of the system (active from time of request until train-return) "items" = sent only together with z-signal
