Quite honestly, I never understood the purpose of the “wait station”.


Well, I could run 6 trains with 2 spots at each mines wtih a 60% efficiency... Or I could run 4 trains, 3 wait station and all train run at 90%+ efficiency.

And as mine production slowly goes down, train stop going there for ...

I always wonder how someone can be bugged by such an insignificant detail like the belt that keeps move under items or the fact that our character can craft while running, but on the other hand can go
So, I'm gonna pick this locomotive, those 2 wagons and this tank and I'm gonna put them in my ...
