g [Responded] Cargo Truck unit data (Not my problem)

4 years ago
(updated 4 years ago)

I have a question for your cargo trucks, and compatibility with aai hauler,

I'm not quite ready to try the radar towers just yet, (due to complexity even with nilaus tutorials lol ) to automate I use the unit path and depots, etc,
there was a legend you posted on how to better use them to transfer things between depot and truck, can you post that again?

also,. am I able to copy-paste a hauler's data into a depot, so that when I place your cargo trucks in there they come out with the same type? the hauler has a pretty good set up, its just hard cause I like using the cargo trucks more, but am not good with the depot to truck transfer data input (asking you cause your cargo trucks, are what i wanna use more)

I have totally no idea on what you are talking about.
The only term I know is "Cargo truck", which is provided by Schall Alien Tech. Yet I wonder if this is the same vehicle you are talking about, as I absolutely have not given it any automatic or "depot" thingy.
Are these even relevant to this mod or my other mods?

Sorry about that ill explain more carefully, Earendels mod AAI industries has a unit called an Aai hauler. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Earendel/aai-vehicles-hauler
this unit can use logistics, in order to send items to and receive them from other vehicles, and depots ( the 2nd photo of this thread, ) https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/a4s87a/aai_auto_guard_and_deploy/
within that mod that changes unit data is the vehicle deployer. Which I've successfully used on your cargo trucks from alien tech,

im just asking about compatibility in the sense of using the vehicle deployer or trying to copy the haulers unit data and pasting it within the cargo trucks unit data, so that it would allow easier item transfers because somehow the aai hauler is both set to give away and take in a certain amount, ( 12k of most ores) but it will also give away that same ore. But when i change the cargo truck data, if i have it set to accept 1000 coal, and give away 900 when i click the unit again it just does the math, and will then only accept 100.

i was curious if you know that the cargo truck from alien tech could or couldn't do this? I am trying to set a 2 or more depot chain looping it with a unit path controller so that once the cargo truck gets (x item) transferred to it, once it reaches the other depot it could drop those same items off. ( similar to the aai hauler)

Alright, but still I have absolutely no idea what AAI is doing to whatever vehicles, since I never bother with them. (Virtually no details is available without using Discord. One of the reasons why I just keep away from such mods.)
My cargo trucks are just ordinary vehicles (like vanilla cars and tanks) that merely have more inventory slots and vehicle grids. Nothing special or extra apart from that. It is highly unlikely such simple car prototype will ever stops mods from working with them.
The only thing I can think of, is that AAI has some math problem with such the large inventory size. Apart from that, it is unlikely a problem specific to mine, but as a bug in its item transfer code in general.

If you believe the problem relates to the depots, you should ask mod author or experienced users of AAI.

PS: I do not see this issue has anything to do with this mod: "Schall Transport Group". Posting in the wrong mod discussion page really confused me. For the next time, please post in the discussion page of most relevant mod only.
