g How to use the mod

7 years ago

Hello,

The mod looks pretty interesting! Do you have a tutorial on how to use the mod? can it be used to rename train station with only circuit network? (and if yes how?)

I have beed looking for a mod that allow to rename train stops, or at least make it blueprintable, which would work great with ConMan! Unfortunately no luck so far...

Thanks in advance!

The signalstring format is described here

Strings are expressed as a bitmask of where each letter appears, LSB on the left.
"FOOBAR" = {signal-F=1,signal-O=6,signal-B=8,signal-A=16,signal-R=32}

Add to this the trainstop signal to rename the stop, or the locomotive signal to send a train to that stop.

so now I have T=9, E=2,S=4 for TEST as name in the constant combinator, what do I now have to do to change the name of the trainstop?

Add to this the trainstop signal

what trainstop signal? what are you talking about?

So others don't go round and round in circles as I just did, as presumably Tiavor did 3 years ago and likely countless others inbetween... :D

  1. There's a stringy trains research. Research it.
  2. Build the Stringy train stop NOT the normal train stop.

Then hook it up to your circuit with the signal letters as described above. Voila, your train stop now renames itself :)
