Basic info
This is an easy to use modular station book inspired by Odhrean's LTN station book found Here, brought into the vanilla game.
Fluid logic also stolen from Odhrean's fast balanced fluid stations Here.
Features
- Supports 1-8, 1-4, and 1-2 train sizes. (Yes, I know. I like good looking trains.)
- Loads/Unloads either to the front or the back.
- Modular design allows you to easily build a complete station in less than a minute.
- 1-8 Trains have 8 or 16 belts of load/unload, 1-4 have 4 or 8 belts, and 1-2 allow for 4 belts.
- Fluid stations are auto-balancing and offer the fastest load/unload time available.
- Chests are ready to hook up to a circuit network for fine control over stations.
- Compact design allows you to use the saved space for other things, like More Factory.
Downsides
- Stations are made only for single-header trains, this is an aesthetic choice.
- Not sized to accommodate trailing locomotives.
- Different train modules might require manually adding small sections of rails between them, such as the Load Back 1-8 and Unload Front 1-8. The modules were sized to neatly stack next to each other with no extra space, mixing and matching modules will require some small effort to make work.
- Can be resized to fit different size trains, but this requires effort. (I count this as a downside, because i'm lazy. At least I did most of the work here.)

This book was made with the community of Toad Hall Factorio in mind, come and join us! Please leave any criticism (assuming comments will ever be fixed.)
Changelog
- v1.1
- Made stations signals, lights, and electric poles consistent across the different modules.
- Made belts consistent across all front/back load/unload stations.
- Added Bulk load/unload stations for 1-8 and 1-4 stations. (1-2 are already considered bulk in my eyes)
- Added proper fluid logic for all fluid stations, fixing the oversight of keeping the LTN combinators. (Shamelessly stolen from Odhrean. Thank you!)
- Fixed some belt issues, and made belts primarily standard belt sections instead of underground belts.
- Fixed size of the module rails at the top and bottom, standard is to add rail sections towards the right to accomodate larger modules.
