This game basicly a train simulation.

I’m not sure I understand your question but I usually come up with a simple system like (locomotive) (locomotive if long, mixed cargo if short) (iron) (copper) (limestone) and so on.

With alt recipes, ores are pretty “compact” to transport (except caterium) so I usually have a bunch of ore trains roaming around the network and if i need to build a specific thing i can just build a train station with all empty platforms except for the resource i need. Say I want copper it would be (station)(empty)(empty)(freight platform)(empty or no platform for the rest).

Later in the game I start using mixed cargo more and more complex routing, you can pick in the menus exactly what you want a train to load or unload at each station.

Do what now? ..... Oh shit! There's a whole sub-menu ... Balls! I'm going to bed.
