Hello Factorio lovers and traffic jam fan ("cough")?!?

Here's the video clip I made with a terrible accent of mine :) subtitles available if it's to hard to understand:

This is possible thanks to the help of Allaizn, KnightElite and the Technical Factorio Discord!
Special thanks to the dev for this awesome game!

Cheers!

How do you control the spacing between the cars?

I see cars which are stationary being released, when a next car arrives behind it. How do you detect an arriving car?

Thank you Koub for pointing the perfect time tag when I talk about it!

If I can add : the word "detect" that you use, I can't truely detect a car (without using additional inserter with specific item to tag a car/mod as inventory sensor), i got to set each stop so they release the car at the right time. To make the task easier, some pattern/distancing are repeating themselves , but for some section i got to test it with editor, stop the time in order to identify the right time lapse to set for the stop. I'm editing something gathering all I know/my findings, allaizn's advices about it and more...

OK. got it. thx!

I find cars on belts intriguing, as the calculus shifts from items/sec on a belt to in what interval a container arrives and how long does it need to be un/loaded.
