The time for each train would go up, true. But now it would be unloaded from more trains in parallel. Ideally the ore/s unloaded remain the same. So if that is the goal then why have buffer chests at all? I think buffer chests only help when you don't have enough trains because the extra loading/unloading speed lets you get away with less trains. When you reach that point the buffer chests will overflow and the unloading of trains will slow down to the belt speed. You want the waiting stations to be always filled to some degree. Because if you don't produce enough ore then no amount of buffer chests or train efficiency will prevent the smelters running out of ore. So less time spend waiting for the train to fill at that end.īut from my experience what you want is to have trains arrive faster than the belt can take away ore. This gives the ore mines more time to fill their buffer chests though. Trains will be unloading much slower in my setup. Add to that that you have more trains unloading than the belt can take and the ore will back up. Unloading onto 6 belts take significantly longer. Unloading 1 train into 12 buffer chests per train car takes something around 6 seconds with maxed out stack inserters. The number of trains that can fit in the station at the same time wouldn't change.Īs for there only being 1 train at the station: That depends on the time it takes to unload and the number of trains you can fill with ore. That's why I suggested changing the waiting bays to unloading stations and not suggested to remove them. Yes, you need to be able to handle all trains being stuck at the unloading station. But if all 5 trains arrive at once, you need somewhere to put them. You can have 5 trains sharing an unload station, and normally only 1 is there at a time (the others are travelling or loading).
