OK, I don't know what I'm doing wrong with this.
My goal is to create AI coal traffic from a portal to a rotary dumper, then off to another portal. Seems pretty simple. To try to provide for the fact that eventually, the coal trains will come from several different portals and disappear into several other different portals, I created a Schedule Library schedule that's supposed to act like a subroutine -- it just dumps five cars at the dumper. The driver schedule uses the "dump five cars" library schedule five times (for a 25-car train), then sends the train off to the portal to go bye-bye. For testing purposes, the train starts out on a yard track because I figure it's better to only take on one impossibility at a time. ;o)
One problem -- It don't work!
The dump car schedule item gets copied into the train's schedule OK -- except the portal command gets put BEFORE all of them. Because of the track alignments, there's no route, so the train just sits there in the yard. Once the portal command is manually moved to the end of the driver schedule where it belongs, everything sorta works -- but the train only dumps the first car before hightailing it for the portal.
1. How do I make sure the portal gets put LAST, like it's supposed to?
2. Why is only one car being dumped?
3. What the heck am I missing here?
