This stacking mining station is designed for taking any mining item that stacks in 50. When a station has enough for a full 4-cargo train, It opens and outputs a signal of 1 of the type of item being mined on the green circuit wire.
Can be stacked to as many stations as you want.
Use
- Give all stations the same name (i.e. Coal mine)
- Input balanced 4 or 8 lane belts from mine in the top
- First station will evenly load chests until their total reaches 8000 items, a full load for a train with 4 cargo wagons.
- After reaching 8000, train station will open and send a signal on the output green wire of 1 of the type of input mining items. Input will then split and start loading the next station.
- Stations will start loading successively in the same fashion.
Train behaviour
- When train arrives at a station, it closes that station so other trains can be directed to a different one of the same type.
- Bypass lane should be connected to the exit so that trains can move to a different mining station if all are closed upon arrival.
- Output green wires can be used to send a circuit condition to trains, indicating the total number of available stations of that type.
