![]() ![]() Trains can be driven manually by sidling up to the locomotive and pressing 'Enter', to jump in the driver’s seat. (Image credit: Wube Software) How to automate your train This can be as simple as inserting coal into the locomotive from a storage box. Depending on what you want to do with the cargo, you should either have storage boxes ready to contain it, or transport belts prepared to convey the cargo for further production.įinally, trains require fuel to run, so it’s worthwhile establishing a method of refuelling them while loading/unloading. Trains carry huge amounts of cargo, so the quicker you fill their wagons, the better. Ideally, use either fast, filter, or stack inserters for loading and unloading. You can align up to twelve inserters with one Cargo Wagon (six per side). Loading and unloading the train is achieved using inserters. Either storage or further transportation for that cargo.For basic functionality, any station should have three things: It’s worth putting your train with Cargo Wagons on the track at this point, so you can gauge how must space you need.Īt this point you should consider constructing your stations. Also, consider the length of your train when placing the stop, as you want to leave space for your Cargo Wagons to be unloaded. The stop must be placed on the right-hand side of the track relative to the direction the locomotive is facing. Once done, place your train stops where you, well. If you opt for the former, you’ll need locomotives at either end of the train so it can navigate both ways. Tracks can be built in a straight line end-to-end, or in a loop. To build a railway in Factorio, first you must lay down your track.

Like locomotives, Cargo Wagons are resource intensive, so you’re best building them manually unless you have plenty of resources to spare. In standard play, manufacturing Cargo Wagons in Factorio requires the following: However, you’ll need a lot of it, so establish an assembly line for it (see image above for a simple example). Rail track is simple to make, especially if you’ve established good production lines for stone mining, smelting iron, and steel plate. In standard play, manufacturing rail track in Factorio requires: (notice how the arrow always has the signal on the "right" side if you think you are a train following it.(Image credit: Wube Software) How to manufacture rail track Then signals would no longer appear as touching each other, but instead be separated by a piece of track. If you were to signal for train driving on the right side of the road instead of left. If you take Fury's last picture with letter but with the train stop on the other branch on both side, it would show "no path" due to the signal giving the track a different orientation than the station located a little further down, making it not possible to reach. The signaling shown by FuryoftheStars is for train driving on the left side, this may explain (reason1) why trains are showing no path on your game.Įach signal, similar to train station, are placed on the right side of the track. The rest of the tracks just run completely independantly so I don't have any more signals any where else, am I meant to? It still doesn't work, both trains are saying 'no path' ![]()
