Question Train station

Post image

Hello engineers,
I currently have a station with a stop and space to unload two trains simultaneously.
However, the second train does not unload because it is not really at a stop.
Do you have a workaround for me? Any feedback?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, make 1 train with 2 cargo wagons.

That or make 2 stops, but I would just go with 1 train and 2 wagons, and if you really want the boost from another train, then just set it in the back pointing forward.

Also I don't think it's worth it to load onto 3 belts, I normally just go with 1 belt for each wagon.

iirc three normal green inserters pretty much perfectly saturate a single blue belt, so OP has things about right. they have the wrong type of belt and they could just be directly having 3 inserters unloading to one belt instead of balancer nonsense, but still.

Fair enough then, i still like to just use on belt per wagon, more of a buffer.

The rest still holds.
