Guia de Sistemas

Configuracion de trenes, senales, intersecciones, circuitos y logistica automatizada.

Train Basics

  • -Trains need at least one locomotive and one cargo wagon.
  • -Locomotives only drive in one direction -- use two for round trips.
  • -Fuel goes in the locomotive -- coal, solid fuel, rocket fuel, or nuclear fuel.
  • -Train stops are named, and trains follow schedules between named stops.
  • -Always use at least one signal per block of track.

Rail Signals

  • -Rail signals divide tracks into blocks. Only one train per block.
  • -Chain signals look ahead and prevent trains from entering occupied blocks.
  • -Place chain signals BEFORE intersections, rail signals AFTER.
  • -Use chain signals at the entrance of every intersection.
  • -Signal both sides of the track for two-way traffic.

Train Network Design

  • -Keep train networks simple -- avoid complex junctions early on.
  • -Use a single loop or point-to-point design for beginners.
  • -Stackers (waiting areas) prevent trains from blocking main lines.
  • -Standard train length (e.g., 1-4 or 2-8) simplifies station design.
  • -Use circuit conditions for smart loading/unloading at stations.

Circuit Network

  • -Red and green wires connect machines to share signals.
  • -Use combinators to create conditional logic (e.g., stop production when full).
  • -Arithmetic and decider combinators enable complex automation.
  • -Circuit-controlled inserters can filter items or limit stack sizes.
  • -Start simple: wire a chest to a light to show fill levels.
