GUYS, FORGET ABOUT MY VERSION. User IAmTomahawkx made an upgraded version of this platforms with a much better script, that allows you to use multiple platforms together by giving them a prefix. I highly recommend using his version of the platform.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LINK TO IAmTomahawkx's VERSION

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This platform is for exchanging cargo not only between trucks and trains but between all kinds of vehicles.

The platform has 4 connectors and 6 sorters.

Sorters:
- ingot input
- ore input
- rest input
- ingot output
- ore output
- rest output

You can turn the sorters on and off with the button panels. A display will show you the status of each sorter (script).

EXAMPLE:

- My new Backpacker Truck is loaded with iron ore and construction components.
- I want to transfer the ore to the cargo train that is connected to the platform.
- I disable all sorters but the ORE OUTPUT
- I connect the truck to the platform
- The sorter now drains all the ore from the truck
- since the platform has no cargo containers, the next available containers for the platform are on the cargo train.


!!! IMPORTANT !!! - USING MULTIPLE PLATFORMS

since I'm no scripter, the simple script of the platform only works if there are no other platforms in the grid. So if you want to use more than one platform within the same grid (same base, same train station) or if you want to connect two platforms so you can transfer stuff between them, make sure to make subgrids of them. You can do this by simply putting an advanced rotor between them. (see uploaded picture with graphics).

I will try to make it work without this workaround but for now it should be okay.

IAmTomahawkx thanks for making a better version. Link in description :-)

That would be really nice since I depend on that visual script builder!

Nice concept, having all of your stuff able to link together! I'm by no means an expert scripter, but i figured id take a look at your script and see if i could fix the multi platform issue. if you'd like i can try and upgrade it?

I would hve thought it was a station, but i will definetly check that.
Hull Breach  [author] 19 Dec, 2018 @ 4:43pm 
did you try converting the rotor head to station before attaching the other platform?

Also, thanks for actualy trying to help.

when i tryed using an advanced rotor the whole platform shook itself into oblivian. I did lock the rotor.

I just uploaded a screenshot with some graphics to show you how to bring multiple platforms to work with each other.

putting an advanced rotor between them should work, too.

PlatformA---Conveyor---adv.Rotor---Conveyor-PlatfromB

But I will have a look at the system tomorrow. Maybe I can fix it in one session.

Thanks, i'll try that
