Usage
Place the "ServicePickupV6.X" somewhere in range of your logistic network. After the robots finished filling up the boxes somewhat, you can switch the train to automatic so that it fills up with materials. If you ever want to change the layout of the train, just adjust the constant combinators at the wagon you want to change. The first wagon has a disabled constant combinator with nuclear supplies that you can enable. I have it disabled by default, because I usually build my first few reactors at the starter base and don't want it loaded into the train instead. If you change the layout, don't worry about removing the items from the wagon or anything, the system is specifically designed to handle everything automatically and make these one click changes possible. Never put the same item in two different wagons, that completely screws the exact insertion. Also, it's your responsibility to make sure your layout actually fits into the wagon. If you want more than one train, just copy the one you already have or reapply the blueprint. I usually slowly increase the number of trains throughout the playthrough and end up with somewhere around 4 or 5 at 1k spm.
Next, you can place the "Fuel/Trash/MilitaryPickup" and the "Fuel/Military/TrashTrain". These two are seperate, because the train actually has filtered slots and a somewhat complicated layout. If you play without biters, just delete the buffer/requester boxes of the second wagon, because those carry all the military supplies. This wagon is also responsible for nuclear fuel delivery, but it only starts requesting the fuel when at least 50 are available in the logistic network, so as to not drain your entire supply. If you're lazy like me, you can also wait a bit with building this train, because really who cares about trash and fuel.
Now, when you want the train to deliver resources somewhere, build the "ServiceMe" station. Double check that all the combinators, roboports, filter inserters and passive provider boxes are built (that's the number one cause of error). The station should now call a train and unload robots and materials. Construction and logistic robots are automatically inserted into the roboports and construction should start immediatly. By default, the station doesn't unload any nuclear supplies, because that would get expensive very quickly. There is a constant combinator next to the front roboport (marked green in the factorioprints screenshot) that you can disable to allow the train to unload nuclear materials and nuclear fuel. Next to the nuclear constant combinator, there is another constant combinator with some ironplate, copperplate, etc. signals set at 10k. These block the train from unloading the specified items, so when you ever need to block some other items (like rails and electric furnaces in a purple science production) you can add them as a 10k signal to this constant. It basically tells the station there are 10k of that item already here, no need to unload any more. Last but not least, you can customize which and how many military supplies are unloaded with two constant combinators towards the back of the station (marked blue in the image).
The station uses a memory cell to save what items are currently on the train. If the build train enters the station with some items missing (because they weren't available or something), the station memory will save this incomplete inventory. To fix this, the station will call for a train automatically every 150000 ticks. If you don't want to wait that long, I would recommend to just blueprint some belts or smth next to the station, so that the buffer gets used up and a train is called. After the train arrived, you can deconstruct the belts again.
The more blueprints you have on the map, the more time it will take for the construction robots to react to new items in the network. This can cause major issues for the system, because it can happen that the train arrives at the station, unloads the missing items and then leaves again without the robots reacting. If this happens to you, I would recommend to stop placing down new blueprints and to increase the inactivity and time passed condition of the construction train schedule. If you don't want to deal with this, I also wrote a mod that fixes this issue.
Old version with the Mall, just in case someone still wants to use it.
