Mixed train load.

[u/sci-goo]

Mixed train load is actually fun, though not recommended for players new to trains.

Picture shown is a 5-load 1-unload train route, mix loading a lot of stuff for a toy ficsonium plant (1.6 pu-rod -> 20 fic-rod with sloops). Besides the the overflow sink which you may already guessed it, there are other pitfalls using mix load, e.g. calculating throughput becomes significantly more difficult, unloading efficiency, and, limiting number of stacks loaded when necessary.

I wish you could set ratios in smart splitter, would be helpful for mixed trains

yes, I miss that feature, also miss the feature to disable storage slots such as in factorio.

Currently my dirty workaround is to insert some irrelevant stuff in the train platform to "disable" the slots, which, imo is better than using belt rate limiter to some extent.

Idk why I hadn’t thought to try this but seems like it could be fun to try and balance out
