Description
A Tram system between 2 rails where each station also functions as a safe crosswalk.
Enter the crosswalk to call the tram and set the combinator to the station you want to go to while waiting for it to arrive. Once set leave the crosswalk so the tram can enter the station. When the tram arrives, hop in and turn off the combinator.
There are 3 components required:
- A Tram Station
- A Station Controller
- A Tram System Controller
Notes
- Fuel is not provided since I use electric trains. Tram will basically run forever on rocket fuel though, and I'm open to changing this if there are good suggestions on how to do it.
- Red and green wire passes through station.
- Red wire is used for communication between stations, but only uses 3 signals for rail items so there shouldn't be a lot of conflicts.
- Each station needs a station controller and each tram system needs a master controller.
- There should not be more than 1 master controller per circuit network.
- For convenience a blueprint is included that combines a master controller with a system controller to take up less space.
Setup
To setup a station:
- Name each stop Tram
- Connect a Station Controller with red and green wires to one of the 2 inside Big Electric Poles.
- Connect at least the red wire of the outer Big Electric Poles to your rail's circuit network.
- Then set the Train Stop signal in the combinator in the upper left corner of the Station Controller to the id you want to use for the station.
- Make sure that there is exactly 1 Tram System Controller connected by red wire to the rail's circuit network.
To make a station refuel:
- Remove one gate section from the right side of the middle gate, below the center track, and from the left side of the middle gate above it.
- Add a requester chest requesting fuel where the gate sections were.
- Add an inserter to fuel the tram from the requester chests.
To setup the tram:
- Place 2 trains back to back.
- Add 2 identical stops with the following configuration:
- 2 seconds of inactivity
- AND Circuit: Signal G = 0
