Minecart Routes and number of minecarts
« on: March 15, 2013, 05:43:11 pm »

Is it possible to assign more than one vehicle to a route, or am I missing something? I tried to create one route for all my logic circuits, but after putting one minecart on the route, they won't haul any more. Do I need to create a new route for each power-to-signal converter?

 Yes, you need separate Routes for each cart. Routes may be identical.

Question is:  Do dorfs need to push or guide carts to operate your system?  Most powered logic systems only require the cart be placed onto the track via a route with a single stop. Then the cart is forbidden and the route deleted. The cart continues to function however the logic circuit dictates - it's forbidden so nobody will touch it.

You know some people use minecarts to transport things ...

You know, some people use minecart logic to control needlessly complex minecart routes throughout the fortress. :P


Hey dawg, we built a minecart in a minecart to drive your other minecarts. --- MINECARTCEPCTION ---
For science of course. :)
