(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). ## The Interrupt  ## Drop-off Stations ### Multiple items -  - 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 -  - 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. Solves issues later. ### 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. -  ### Single Items at a Drop-off Station Train Settings - Set all drop-off trains to stay until "Empty cargo Inventory" -  --- ##Example Train Parking Lot -  --- # Get Gass Interrupt - Forces trains to go get fuel when they are low! -  </markdown> games/factorio/minimize_train_traffic.txt Last modified: 2025/11/20 02:28by 127.0.0.1
