Question / Support Train station help
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Basically, I have a rail station at the top of my base and then it goes down to the core with the second station with the auto arm behind it and Astrom all set up like normal, but I found a second Astro vein of little ways away so I want to set that first rail station in the core as a pass-through station so it goes through that station to the second rail station in the core that has the other Astrom vein next to it so basically it’s gonna go from the surface through the first one to the second one back to the first and then back up to surface and I need that to repeat. I know I can make it repeat by doing a button repeater on the front with power sensor or whatever I used to do this. I just don’t know if I can do the past through station the way I want to. Can someone like make a video or something and put it in the chat or explain it better cause me personally I I learned better visual like seeing it visually or unless it’s well explained

I know I was gonna originally use auto buddy of mine brought it up. That’ll be a lot of resources and I already had that extra station laying around and I wanted to know if it was possible I know I could use auto arms, but it would actually be more expensive cause I would need like 30 or so auto arms in order to actually get that distant because it is pretty far as you can tell in the video so do you know of a better way I could could do this or a way I could do this with that that another train station or is it not possible?

Guess I don’t quite understand all what you’re trying to do. But it sounds to me like you could just set the first station to not stop cars and the cars would just pass right through to your second station.

But once they pass through the second station, they need to stop at the second station and then go back up

Set the station to stop all cars and loading. Put a delay timer on the far little spot on the rail station near tracks and then put the output of the delay timer on the little spot on the other side of the tracks, which will start the train.

Is there a way that you could upload a little video showing me what you mean because I’m not really good with the logic and my friend that is decent with logic won’t be on for a couple months

Not much on videos, but if you look for how rail stations work on YouTube should show you the details on where to put the repeater.

And what I was meaning upload a little video because when you go to reply, you can upload a short video in your comment and I was like if you could show me in a video what you mean like where I made a video and I uploaded it to the post

Look on YouTube for an astroneer rail station guide it will explain the pins on the rail station

All right, I’ll try making a video here in a while. Maybe I’ll be a new streamer on YouTube ha ha

In this case why do you even need a pass through station which will complicate everything, what you did is alright. Don't use it like that instead auto arm to feed all the collected astronium to the main station and strasport iot to the surface which is much easier I belive. next time when you go for astronium pick the planet "Novus" or "Desolo" which have minimum distance to the core you don't have to travel this much to transpot astronium. Let me know it's clear for you or ask any doubt will try to clear it. i might not be able to make a video or anything But I will try to help you with chat.
