I've continued work on my railway system..
pretty much
You have a loop of carts, that runs all the way around the track.
fk it i'll draw it. In simple terms..
A = A cart holding station. A cart is stored in a loop where it is released when an individual steps on a pressure plate @ B,
The cart travels into the rest of the system (E), where various boosters etc push the cart along the track. E is quite long, it's mainly a tunnel.
Apon return from E, the cart enters a water bay (C) -- The water slowly pushes the carts forward, and allows the user to exit.
The carts are then pushed to D at around 1 cart per 10 seconds.
@ D there is a variable -- If A == loaded.. go to E, If A == Empty, go to A.
This is accomplished by having a pressure plate in A, lots of redstone etc, but that's another system explanation.
Therefore, A is reloaded automatically, and with only 1 cart if needed.
If A is already loaded, the cart goes onto the system (E) just incase i'm working down there and need a lift back.
Thoughts?
