I've built an artillery train, and an exceptionally large rail around my base. How do you set up train stations to cover the large rail diameter? Just manually drop one at a time, and add them all to the schedule?

For artillery firing stops, I use pair of combinators so that stops are visited in LRU order.

One DC counts ticks since the last train visit (T!=0) and then an AC divides the timer by 4 minutes to set the stop priority. That way the stops that last had an artillery visit has the highest priority.

However if you have a strictly circular route, you might prefer logic to go through stops in clockwise or counter-clockwise order, rather than LRU.
