With the new update train limits are removed from LTN. With this 2 trains trying to go to the same depot. How to solve it?

Just put a limit on the depot stations using the standard train limit mechanism.

I always just name all my depots "depot" and give them a train limit of "1" when I build them. One nice addition to 2.0 Factorio is that once I have done that the first time, any new station I name "depot" will automatically get the train limit of "1" by default.

I have same issue with my depot.
Train limit set to 1 in the LTN combinator, but another train pulls up behind the one waiting at the station instead of going to an available station.

@mikegarrison, It is not possible to set the limit in the station, because LTN takes over and resets the configuration.

I have "wide" depots: 5 next to each other, and all t he trains go to the closest. i can't set the normal train limit, as it gets disabled immediately. the "limit trains" signal does not work either (i would expect it to just set the trainstops max length, so not providing it just disabling max length seems like t he expected behavior)

I am using LTN Combinator Modernized

OK, I just tested it. And ... you are correct. The new update does override the station train limit. This is a problem.

It did not used to do that.

I tested with and without the LTN combinator mod active. The problem seems to be LTN, not the combinator.

I rolled back to 2.4.3 and the station train limits worked again. That would be my suggestion to keep playing until this issue gets fixed.

I'm here to bump this post. DO NOT remove train limits! Roll this change back. I had problems with two trains pathing to the same depot stop a long time ago and this was fixed with the train limit set to "1" on the stop. Trains do not communicate to each another so this just causes major backups at depots. Looks like I won't update LTN till this is hopefully backed out.

hgschmie can you please explain why you removed train limits, which are a very powerful and useful tool?

I'm still playing with 2.4 while you have now gone onto 2.6, but it's because I want the train limits.

Ditto the above, why the removal of train limits? I don't see anything in the change log other than the removal with no workaround within LTN.

Edit: Confirmed rolling back to 2.4.3 does still work with train limits. However had to roll back LTN combinator modernized as well to the 2.2.5 version.

OK, so I finally found the changes in github where he removed the train limits. It's not clear why he removed the train limits, but he did seem to add some kind of code about how to handle when a circuit disables a stop.

But I think most veteran Factorio players never (or almost never) disable stops, but rather use train limits to control stop accessibility. By turning off train limits (which was clearly an intentional choice), LTN 2.5+ takes away a major tool used by Factorio players.

I wish he would comment on this and explain why he did it.
