Introducing A.R.M.S. (Automated Rail Management System) — Modular Smart Train Network

Dynamic Station Throttling: Stations automatically close or adjust their train limits based on storage capacity. If an outpost is dry, trains won't waste fuel going there.

Micro Percentage HUDs: Instead of messy progress bars, it uses compact, custom-font text displays directly on the stations to show exact load percentages (like [46%]) using dynamic color gradients.

Station Indicators: I added some simple light indicators. Thanks to these, you can instantly see if a station is ready to take a train or if one is already on the way.
Monitoring System: The network constantly tracks available trains and station capacities. If something bottlenecks or there's a huge delay in resource delivery, a programmable speaker triggers an alarm to alert you before production completely stalls.
A live demonstration of the system:

Instead of standard schedules where trains just mindlessly loop between stations, this setup operates on an On-Demand Dispatch System.

The Depot: Idle trains just chill in centralized depots, saving fuel and keeping the mainlines clear. It's a general-purpose staging area, so any train in the system can use it (except for specialized stuff like personal taxis or construction trains).

The "Order" Trigger: The circuit network constantly monitors supply and demand across the base. A train gets dispatched ONLY when two conditions are met at the same time:
- A Provider Station has a full load ready to go.
- A Requester Station has enough empty space to take a full load.

Zero Waste: If there’s plenty of iron ore but nowhere to unload it (or vice versa), trains simply stay in the depot. No empty runs, no wasted fuel, and zero station deadlocks.

The blueprints are fully modular, so you can easily scale them from a small outpost to a massive mega-factory. Here are the configurations I've included:

1-1-0 — Great for low-volume or expensive stuff (like Uranium or Science).

1-2-0 — Perfect for mid-tier sub-factories and fluids.

1-4-0 — The standard workhorse for Ore and Plates.

1-8-0 — Heavy-duty transit for high-throughput mainlines.

Honestly, it’s completely up to you how to mix and match them — you're the engineer running the show.
