They managed to make trains bad.
I thought hey maybe an alternative to the 50 Shuttles burning ungodly amounts of fuel transporting stuff over the map from my further away extractor stations (or my Excavator). Trains run for free, and carry more than shuttles.
Just one problem. Station depot management. There is no way to make it in a request based system (which is somewhat primitive even for shuttles, but with universal depots you can get stuff to be everywhere so you eventually get something). Universal depots also cannot block, which is important since the AI for that is super moronic.
My RC Transporter decided to dump metal into the main station. Result was that nothing on the trains moved any more since the Stations were all full with metal. Even disabling Metal storage did not help. Drones were just looking at it and shrugging. Even putting Metal depots next to it did not cause the drones to start moving out the metals.
So basically 6,99 for a straight downgrade from using RC transports on a fixed route, and those are already obsolete once you get your first shuttle hub.
