Splitting train deliveries over two stations.

[Dallas]

I have an automated basic rail system that i'm happy with. One issue that i can't seem to solve though is how do you pick up from one station and then split that pick up across two other stations? Every solution i've come up with ends up leaving it all at the first of the two stations. I'm sure i've overlooked something simple. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You'll need to split the resources at the first station before moving on the second and third.

Place a splitter on the resources you wish to split and have it go into 2 separate train cars. Have one station unload only from the first car, then have the second station unload only from the second car.

Remember that you can use empty platforms so that nothing is taken from specific cars that line up with those platforms when the train stops at the station.

I didn't think about splitting at the loading station, this is great thank you! :)

yA TOOK ME BIT TO FIGURE THIS OUT MYSELF. "oops caps" I had huge long trains at one point. And orginally i had it as one resource per wagon. And ended up with same issue. So had to move stations and wagons around to work it out.

What Im hoping for is some sort of control for unloading trains. Where can set specific amounts to unload.

Yes, this'd be great, being able to set specific amounts or even percentages would be helpful.
