Re: Add functionality to limit the number of incoming trains per station.

Yeah, you're right. There's still something off.

But thanks again for pointing to the problem: one often needs to repath trains that are currently stopped.

Re: Add functionality to limit the number of incoming trains per station.

Let's say the waiting bay has the 5 lanes as shown in the screenshot. Let's further imagine that there are 20 trains going to that waiting bay. The problem is, when the 5 lanes at the waiting station are full, 14 trains (one is at the station behind the waiting bay) will wait on the railroad before ...

Re: Add functionality to limit the number of incoming trains per station.

--- The "solution" shown in this post is not working. I did not choose the settings correctly: I got too few trains, and their timing was all the same. By adding more trains and ramdomising their programming, the system broke. But even without that mistakes, it did not work as proposed. Th...

Re: Blueprint alignment pins

I'm using refined hazard concrete to put either a border or at least a triangle shape at the edges of the blueprints I need to align carefully.


But this feels rather clumsy. I'd like an upgrade in vanilla, too!

Re: Console Block :o

You then can plug in your controller/synthesizer to generate output, what leads to
- "better" controllability when, i.e. playing combinator tetris.
- play live piano instead of programming it.
- I think video jockeys will find that usefull, too


Sound to me like a thing for a mod, though.

Re: Blueprints should not be items

So - again - the solution is to remove one UI. Which is clearly that which has less features and make the blueprint lib easier to use. Which (again) should enable to remove some code, that is not needed, when blueprints cannot be accessed in an inventory. And it’s clear that a lot people will begin...

Re: Multiple Conditions + If \ Else function+ for Logic Networks

That never stopped anyone before. Your logic is interesting. Showing one person, who (at its current state) is very advanced in something does not prove that everyone is smart in the same something (at the given moment), too. But I guess you wanted to say "RTFM" by saying "I''m smart...

Also, he says he doesn't have a middle button so he can't do that. Uh damn. I'm sorry! I tried rebinding Filter Toggle from RMB to another key but it says it has to be mouse-related, and all other combinations of shift/alt/ctrl/RMB/LMB are taken. Should I report this as a bug I guess? I surly can't...

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers

Don't think so. RMB does work correctly in any other cases? Have you tried to set keybinding to MMB and tried that? Also, try to unbind RMB from every other interaction. Maybe there's a double-binding that causes interference? When I bind Toggle Filter to RMB, it does not work, eigther. But I did no...

Re: Keyboard entry for new “set request" pop-up windows (and requests, and combinators)

Interestingly, User Interface for "less abled" asks for a total different approach but argues comparably: widen the options of how to change values (interaction with the gui). So broader accessibility might be a thing of future development proposals for consideration. Long story short: +1

So all you need to do is to move the trashed items back to your inventory. :)
But we're using the trash slots as additional inventory slots in vanilla :D

Re: Explain meaning of blinking Icons in Tooltip

Hover your mouse over the icon on the bottom right of the shortcut bar. This is, at last, what you will get. Bu you are right, additional information (to locate the spot of the specific missing entities etc.) would be nice.

Re: Add functionality to limit the number of incoming trains per station.

If you connect a train stop with a circuit wire, it can be set to send train ID (T) enable/disable (T = 0) That's true, and there are quite some more ways to smart this up (I got that you posted an easy-to-get-your-point-example). I once liked to use delayed self-deactivating stations with few exit...
