Unloading station MK2

** * NEW * ** Checkout a vertical take on this design Unload station MK2 Vertical Edition!

A much improved version of my older Unloading station. Made even more compact and elegant. The full starter station is now more simple and should have a higher chance of fitting your location but also uses red belts to start with. Besides the blue belt 8-lane unloading system, there now is a red belt 4-lane and blue belt 4-lane unloading system. Both of which leave enough room to expand to the 8-lane design down the line.

Modular station. This book contains a full starter station with 2 red belt 4-lane unloading stops that is built into the armpit of a roundabout. The book contains many pieces to fit your needs. Besides the already mentioned 4-lane red belt, 4-lane blue belt and 8-lane blue belt unloading stops, there are also multiple fluid unloading/loading stops both basic and advanced => advanced has much more buffer tanks and loads 3 times faster.

Features

• Very fast wagon unloading
• Integrated belt balancing
• Fully modular design (expand and add pieces as you wish)
• Basic and advanced fluid (un)loading (option between fast and way too fast)
• Full starter design included to get you started
• Color codes and stop names included
• Fuel insertion by requester chests (bots)
• Large area of logistic coverage by roboports

This design is made for right hand drive bidirectional 2-lane train networks with roundabouts, but it might fit your network easily with a few small changes. MADE FOR 2-4 TRAINS. That means -----.

The iron and copper unload are identical with the exception of the train stop name and color. For all color codes you can check out the Factorio Cheat Sheet (all the way at the bottom).

This contains pieces from other designs:

• Unloading station: https://factorioprints.com/view/-Kroion4ELi9I7EiJ9XC (inspired, wanted something much more compact)
• Roundabout: https://factorioprints.com/view/-Kt7QI8bMMskDbjD9zW9
• Kitch's station rails: https://factorioprints.com/view/-L9sMnI9prR83xg54NjG
• Train unloading station to 8 blue belts: https://factorioprints.com/view/-L9M5zNQnFUOFRBJrQiA (I mirrored the design)
• Fast Balanced Fluid Train Stations: https://factorioprints.com/view/-KpR9g5xwpke0jOV4pQ1 (these are the "Fluid (un)loading advanced" stops)

If you notice something not working or some small sloppiness, tell me in the comments so I can improve the design!

Enjoy!

Updates

• August 21st, 2018
  • Fixed an issue where the rail signal of the parking wasn't placed far back enough and caused jamming on the main line. (both "Full station starter" and "Parking 2-4" updated)
  • Added an extra rail block signal at the exit.
  • Added multiple rail signals after the exit on the main line to decrease wait time at exit (you should do this along your whole main line: placing rail signals every 30 blocks or so on each side).
  • Removed all train station names as having same names can give annoying issues. You should assign them yourself after placing the full station or station part.
  • New attached screenshot. Updated "Full station starter" and "Parking 2-4" bot blueprint images.
