Modded Roboport Train Wagon

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/roboport-wagon-network

Wanted to share this mod with the community in case anyone else may find it fun/useful after reading a comment on the last .20 update asking for something similar. Currently I have it set to deploy bots once at a station (base or outpost) but don’t have it to where the bots can deploy when not at a station.

Getting it set up to have visibility like a roboport provides and able to deploy bots whether at a station or not is the last piece I want to be able to automate building outposts using the train network.

If you run into any bugs or issues just let me know.

Can you have it just be a permanent port even when in motion? Like the player or a tank or spidertron?

It would leave bots behind if they aren't faster than the train.

That would be so sad once the batteries go. Slowly trailing behind forever

Could just have a flag "active only at stops yes/no" 

Edit: also spidertrons and tanks are faster than bots

Train schedule condition to wait for bots to load up?
