Instant Load, instant karma...

Midland

Sphenodon Punctatus
I have the Instant Load Rule kuid2:67585:1017:1 by Robin Hoods and it has worked well especially for loading portal generated trains.

However in my latest use of it the trains being emitted from the portal have the wagons loaded with every product they can carry. The end result of this is that poor little VR J555 instead of hauling a train of 500 tons is now burdened with 2,100 tons! And all this in a train of 30 wagons!

I understood the rule simply took the first product in the queue and filled it to maximum load. Certainly many of the wagons that can carry multiple products are done this way. The Shell 50' tanker for example can carry a huge assortment of products but it is always loaded with Bunker C oil because this is the first product on the list. Same with log wagons. Yet the VR and NSWGR wagons that can carry multiple products end up being loaded with all products possible. I'm assuming this is an error in the wagon's config.txt rather than a problem with the rule.

Before my poor little J busts its foo-foo valve is there some way I can get these wagons to load just one product?

Hi Nix,

Yep, sounds like an error in the config.txt file, in the queues that only 1 product can be loaded at a time.

Can you give me the kuid of the wagon your using and i'll have a quick look.
 
You could add the line conflicts-with-queues like this:
Code:
 load0 {
  size     15857
  initial-count    0
  animated-mesh    "load"
  product-kuid    <kuid:-3:10002>
  allowed-categories {
   0    <kuid:-3:10040>
  }
  conflicts-with-queues {
   0    "load1"
   1    "load2"
   2    "load3"
   3    "load4"
  }
 }

I can tell you it is exclusively Aussie stuff! :hehe:

VR VLX van type 1 and type 2, the new interactive flour wagons and a bunch of others I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll check 'em out and post the kuids.

Oh and thanks for your input. Eventually this session will end up on the DLS so the problem might spread a bit! :confused:

Hi Nix,

Ok cool found them on the DLS, having a quick look at other wagons before this I seen that it could be in the config.txt file or it could be in the config.txt file for the product, allows-mixing tag.

I will have a look now.


Edit: Downloaded the Type 1, started up Surveyor and had a look, yeah you will find that the config.txt file for the wagon needs the 'conflicts-with-queues' tag added to stop all the products loading in the different queues.
