b Stations never get skipped

I don't fully get how this is meant to work, In my mind if the train going to a station has all the conditions met it doesn't slow down for that station and goes straight through.

While I am using LTN, this doesn't appear to work at all regardless of if its a LTN station or not.
The only way I can get it to skip stations is if the station has no conditions.

But say I have a loop with 2 stations and a single train with a cargo wagon. If the train has both stations with no conditions, the train goes around in a loop forever. If I add a condition to one of the stations saying the train has to wait till its completely empty then go, the train still waits at the station even if its completely empty.

Please advise, I don't get it

Hi

Did you use the latest version? There was an update to add compatibility with LTN, if you're using the latest version and it still doesn't work, are you able to share your save file?

I do use LTN. Problem being the save is really large and uses a unhealthy amount of mods. So I will see if I can slim the mod list down and get a basic save to reproduce it.

I think I figured it out.

LTN adds a "2s of inactivity" condition to all the stations, even if the Cargo condition is met, the train still waits for those 2 seconds. That's why I never see a train skip a station. Admittedly I don't think I will ever see a use case for the LTN side of train networks as I am forcing a train in use to go to a station to check the mod but as long as I don't put a wait along side the cargo condition, the train skips the station as it should regardless of if its a LTN station or a normal one.

Maybe this mod should try to make it ignore those 2 seconds if possible? Also would be great to see a actual use case for LTN. I would like to get better at LTN and if this helps then I'd like to know how.

Thanks

EDIT: Do you have a save where you can clearly show the mod in action for both normal stations and LTN stations?

Hi, I'm afraid I cannot make the train skip the 2 second inactivity wait as it's identical to the vanilla waiting condition, and skipping those will break vanilla. Can you describe the situation you are trying to use it for? The mod is mainly intended to make it easier and faster to have one train fetch multiple type of resources from multiple stations, but if I understand LTN correctly it should already handle that quite well

Hmmm, ok maybe my rail network just isn't designed in a way where this would be useful.
