How can I supply the same station with more liquids, for example, and configure the pumps so that they draw the specific liquid required?
Tnx

Im not sure how to dynamically switch fluid requests at a station. Building is fairly inexpensive. In our mega base we have logic to mix items at a single station but liquids are 1:1 because of issues with pipes mixing fluids. I’m sure you could do this, I’m not sure how, and I would be fearful fluids blocking train deliver due to misconfiguration.

Thanks for your reply.
One possible solution to your question might be that we could control the pumps using the filters. Let me explain: when the train arrives at the station, the RLD controller sends a loading request signal, and this signal can be used to control the pumps that allow only that specific liquid to pass through. Of course, this also applies to non-liquid cargo using the loaders.

momift, I am working on this, i am thinking of ways to wire this up, it will be about an hour of work, but I think it will be worth it. Could you mock up a train stop of how you think it would look so I can see it. put it in imgur or some other picture share, and I can visualize it. I believe in my head i was thinking of 1 pump per fluid wagon, but you are saying something like 3 pumps per fluid wagon each pump has a filter.
