b [fixed] Loading ramp doesn't recognise vehicle wagon.

3 months ago

Title says it all.

Loading ramps don't recognise the Vehicle wagon and just sit there waiting for train, they act like normal inserters now.

Still new to Factorio I can get my save file but I'm not sure what the expected way to share the save file here is.

One limitation of loading ramps right now is that the train needs to be in automatic mode stopped at a station. Is your train in manual mode? Or do you mean the loading ramp is actively picking up items?

People normally give a link to a file on their personal google drive, another file sharing service, or DM me on the Factorio forum at robot256.

I've train every combination I can think of, Manual Automatic, at a station not at a station.

I haven't had a forum account long enough to send a DM, do you have Discord?

Also.

This is true it is actively picking up items.

So the shipping container works when placed directly ontop of the ramp, I still can't get the car to auto load though.
and it stills acts just like a normal inserter.
I also can't get it to unlaod a shipping container, it sends a message saying "Selected ramp [LuaEntity: loading-ramp at [location: long&Lat,Nauvis]

Update:
I can get it to unload the train just wasn't waiting long enough for the ramp to act.(still no luck with anything else though.

Update 2:
And now I've got the car working, turns out I was probably putting the vehicle in the wrong place to load and not giving it enough time to load/unload.
User error on my part but it may be worth adding a note in future updates that it needs at least 2 seconds to operate the ramp, this is a problem because most automated trains have a 1s inactivity timer which isn't long enough to operate the ramp.

Update 3:
The loading/unloading function stopped working again and I got an error when I tried to rotate the ramp.

The mod Vehicle Wagon 2 (4.1.8) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

I'm also #robot256 on discord. I'm interested in your save file because the mod is supposed to block the ramp inserter from ever attaching to a visible inventory.

The root cause of this bug was a typo that broke the data format when two ramps were placed next to the same rail and one of them was rotated. It is fixed in 4.1.10 and existing saves will be corrected when they are loaded.
