What does LTN mean in LOGISTICS

A Logistic Train Network (LTN) is a mod for the game Factorio that manages the movement of trains and the delivery of resources throughout a player's factory. It automates the task of setting up and managing train routes, allowing players to focus on other aspects of their factory's development.

LTN uses a central control system to monitor the supply and demand of resources at various locations within a factory. When a station needs a particular resource, it sends a request to the control system. The control system then assigns a train to deliver the requested resource to the station.

LTN offers several benefits, including:

• Automated train routing: LTN eliminates the need for players to manually set up and manage train routes.
• Reduced train traffic: LTN optimizes train movement, reducing traffic and congestion on the factory's rail network.
• Improved resource management: LTN helps players to ensure that their factory has the resources it needs, when and where they are needed.

Setting up an LTN requires the installation of the LTN mod and the creation of a central control station. The control station is responsible for managing the network and assigning trains to delivery tasks. Players must also set up stations at the locations where they want resources to be delivered and requested.

Here are some tips for using LTN effectively:

• Use unique station names: Each station in the network should have a unique name to avoid confusion and ensure that trains are assigned to the correct destinations.
• Set up buffer chests: Buffer chests can help to reduce train traffic by storing excess resources at stations.
• Use priority settings: Priority settings can be used to ensure that certain stations receive resources before others.
