Factorio Train Unloader and Station Blueprints

Five train station designs for 2.0, each with its wagon count, output belts and a real image: two unloaders, a smart station book, a rail yard and a stacker.

Station type

Three designs unload trains: a station for 1-8-1 trains with eight wagons onto four belts, a 4-wagon station that filters wrong items and feeds four balanced belts, and the single-belt unloader from a book of smart stations for 1-4 trains. The rail yard adds three unloading stations for short 1-2 trains. Filter by wagons to find the one that matches your trains.

This release has five station designs, because a design is only included when its author states both the wagon count and the number of output belts. Many other 2.0 stations show a layout without saying that, and were left out until those numbers can be confirmed.

Factorio belt balancer lookup

Train loading stations

Loading designs are part of two entries: the rail yard has two loading stations and a small fuel stop, and the smart station book includes loading examples for 1-4 trains. There is no standalone loader page in this release.

Balanced unloading onto belts

Inserters empty each wagon at their own pace, so the belts at a station fill unevenly. The 8-wagon and 4-wagon unloaders here end in a 4 to 4 belt balancer that mixes the output so every belt draws from every wagon and the train empties evenly. If you need a different number of belts, the belt balancer lookup has every split.

Train stackers and waiting areas

A stacker holds trains waiting for a free station. The compact stacker here serves four station lanes with six waiting spots for 8-car trains, the item-filtering unloader includes a stacker for four trains, and the smart station book has a depot in first, middle and last pieces.

Which game version and expansion do these stations need?

All five strings were exported from Factorio 2.0, between 2.0.15 and 2.0.60, and none was test-imported by this site. Two need Space Age: the smart stations use turbo belts and the compact stacker uses elevated rails.

Train station questions

Is there a train station blueprint book?

Yes: the smart train stations entry is a book with requester and provider stations, a depot set, single-size and multi-size network books and loading and unloading examples, all for 1-4 trains.

Is there a train depot blueprint?

The smart train stations book includes a depot made of first, middle and last pieces, so you can build it as long as your train count needs. It is the only depot in this release.
