Proof of concept, Track Signal Status board with Create 6 Logistics Network

improved board:

setup for one of the gauges:

[simple slate]

why is this good tho

[jagged solstice]

what do you mean? what is this good for?

[simple slate]

well why is this a concept that needs proving

does it have a use in any way

[jagged solstice]

well, there is an entire mod that makes something similar into a webpage , so i thought train enthusiasts might get a kick out of it

and a use would be to have a central monitoring room for your rail network

[simple slate]

does it work over longer distances tho

[jagged solstice]

logistics networks have no range limit, so the only factor is that you need to have a unique item for every signal block and maybe chunkload the signals and their setup.

[simple slate]

well, with excactly 0 chunkloaders to spare, time to chunkload all of my signals

this is sadly not practical

(i would be the number one person to use this if it was)

[jagged solstice]

have not tested it long range, so it might still work

guess you could do the same thing with just stations, that should work

like this:

but that would only show occupied stations

also the hopper and bottom packager are only necessary on (first?) load/assembly, after that, all that is required is that the redstone signal gets to the stock link.
If all else fails maybe the steam and rails team could adapt the logistics api to have something that works similar but directly with the signal block.

I needed this like yesterday

[knotty silo]

redstone doesn't work at all when not loaded

and redstone links have a range limit
