+# Minimizing Train Traffic
+## Basics
+- Set up as many "parking lot" train stations as you have trains then add the interrupt below.
+- Turn off as many stations as you can using conditions. (Both pick up and drop off stations, turn them off if possible!)
+- If a station is full or disabled the train will go to the parking lot.
+  - In the parking lot, trains will wait 30sec before checking to see if the station is open.
+  - If the station is enable (and not full) the train will go to it.
+  - If the station is disabled (or full) the train will stay at the parking lot station (and wait 30sec before checking again).
-## Full Desto Time Killer
+## The Interrupt
-Set up as many parking lot train stops as you have trains then add this interrupt.

-## Drop-off Stations w/ Multiple items
-Turn off as many stations as you can using conditions.
+## Drop-off Stations
-When the station is disabled, trains go to parking lot.

-## Drop-off Stations
+- Circuit connection on train stations is "enable if".

+- This will enable the station if Green is = to 1.

+- This will send Green1 if steel is less than 40k OR Iron plates are less than 40K
+### Single Item
+- ![](https://i.imgur.com/55Zws3l.png)
+- Skip the decider combinator and just connect the buffer storage to the station and set condition to enable the station.
 ## Trains
-Always put the pickup before the drop-off
+Always put the pickup before the drop-off. Solves issues later.
-### Multiple Item Stops
-Can't make condition "Empty cargo Inventory" because another item might be needed

-### Single Item Stops
-Set all drop-off trains to stay until "Empty cargo Inventory"

-If a train stop train limit is set to 2 but you have 3+ trains that want to go to that stop, the 3rd+ trains will go to the parking lot. They will wait 30sec in the parking lot before checking to see if the stop is open.
+### Multiple Items at a Drop-off Station Train Settings
+- Can't make condition "Empty cargo Inventory" because another item might be needed.
+- Figure out what conditions work best for your factory. Mine are below.
