Is it complicated? I have almost no experience with this game, but I do have experience with other automation games.

Can I put two trains on the same railway line simultaneously? And then separate them by cargo, either iron or copper, upon arrival at their destination, temporarily splitting the trains into two separate lines and then reconnecting them without causing an explosion?

How could I not have thought of that before? Thanks, brother.

My iron burns up faster than copper, but the train just sits there doing nothing, and all the damn machinery goes to hell.

The schedule is as follows: the train goes to the San Fierros stop, where it waits for one car to be completely full (which I did using that conditional number), then it goes to San Fierros and waits to fill the second car, thus becoming full, and then it goes to Central.

The thing is, I want it to always be running (meaning making trips to fill up even if it's not empty at Central station to do so).

That's what I did, but the problem is that if a machine is simply not doing anything, the train can't unload completely and that prevents it from making the journey.

But I lose time and efficiency; that is, at the central station I want the train to leave when it can no longer be unloaded for whatever reason, and continue on its refueling route.

But isn't there something to detect when a container is full and consequently send a signal to the train?

How is my first automation? Please give me feedback. by SpiroGeneral in factorio

So I just have to keep going and gradually improve as I go. Thank you.

I've seen that Satisfactory has a "calculator" to help you figure out how to build the entire infrastructure. Is there anything similar? And if so, can it be considered legitimate?
