#Help with multi-station Deliveries

but this doesn't work because if oil is full, it doesn't go to main base
I tried adding interrups for when it is for it to skip it but it also doesn't work

So you go from base to coal and then to oil and then to base?
Or is it base - oil - coal - oil - base?
Basically how do you want it?
Do you want
Base - sometimes(oil) - coal - sometimes(oil) - base

Interrupts is the correct way I think
If I assume what you want I would do
Base - coal - base
Interrupt: if oil is below 2k go to oil load.
Then unload the oil in the same station as the one you load coal in or just right after.

No, coal depot fills the 1-3-0 train's wagons, 1 of them gets emptied at oil and the other 2 wagons at base.
grand ivy
If the station isn't filled, it has a train limit (like I said, the BPs I use) and it gos to offload.
grand ivy
If the oil is filled you want to go back to base?
I want it to go to the stations if they need stuff.
My problem is that if base needs coal but oil doesn't, it doesn't go.
tulip flax
Yeah so give them the same name but increase priority on the one you want it to go to first
tulip flax
So you have ”Coal drop” on both of them
The same name makes the train prioritize the closest one/the one with the highest priority
So I have all my iron pickup stations called ”Iron ore” and nothing more
I have 9 of them
grand ivy
So I have all my iron pickup stations called ”Iron ore” and nothing more
So I should just name them the same and it'll go to the one with higher priority?
That feels weird..
tulip flax
Yes
And obviously if you set the train limit to 0 it won’t go there 🙂

One more thing, is there a way to make them follow a specific path without using additional stations? Maybe choosing signals for them to follow like in Transport Fever 2?

You could place stations on the paths you want to be less used, but that will affect all trains
If i remember right, each station passed adds 1000 length
And trains pick the shortest path

Just out of curiosity
Why would you want this?
deft cosmos
it'd be useful for multilane systems, otherwise no clue

I have a stacker and I don't want the first train that comes in to stay in the main path, instead stay on the side. I mean, my stacker is like:
S-------/---------------\---------```I couldn't get the thing right but you get the point
And I want the first train that comes to go to the top one, I know how to detect it using circuits, I just don't know if I can make it.
tulip flax
I dont think thats possible unfortunately
Or i guess you could detect if there are trains in the others and then disable the main station until all others are full?
