Description
requirements: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/anoyomouse/Warehousing (need a single storage as big as a wagon)
Unable to find anything close to what i needed i made this. ugly but works
this station takes an input of what goes in to the wagon (three constant combiners at bottom) there is a 4th combiner that screens out the train code and the ammo in the artillery. (loaded by the requester warehouse)
when a train arrives it loads the 3x3 warehouse with all the things missing from the train by requester. the filter inserter removes excess (stupid robot stacks)
once the warehouse is perfectly loaded it disables the 2 inserters (make sure to connect the wooden pole ONLY to the power switch) and enables the wagon loaders to load the train wagon as well as enabling the requester chest purger. it then stops functioning until the train leaves (as told by the chain signal). it also has the benefit of my train stop disabling setup (not that you are likely to run multiple trains to this spot) and loads nuclear fuel for speed (higher stack backup fuel is in my wagon loadout)
it works and works well. it can load an empty wagon or a partially full wagon and i have yet to break it. it has no ability to remove excess or other items from the wagon so running by a train purger first might be a smart idea. it also seems to leave a few items extra in the requester chest but this gets cleaned up next time the train stops.
any help in cleaning it up or streamlining it is much appreciated.
