## Quick Start Guide
# [Project Cybersyn Official Example Blueprints](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mamoniot/project-cybersyn/main/cybersyn_blueprints.txt)
Copy the contents of [Project Cybersyn Official Example Blueprints](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mamoniot/project-cybersyn/main/cybersyn_blueprints.txt) and paste them into the import string text box to see examples of how to create a functional network. I highly recommend taking a look at these; the blueprint book showcases both the basics of the mod and highly advanced designs you can create.

Within Project Cybersyn, you can think of requester stations as requester chests, provider stations as passive provider chests, depots as roboports and trains as the logistics bots. There is a direct correspondence between the Cybersyn train network and Factorio's robot logistics network.
A bare minimum Cybersyn train network consists of 2 components: depots and stations. Both are created by placing a cybernetic combinator adjacent to a train stop. Select the "Mode" of the combinator to "Station" to create a station, and to "Depot" to create a depot. Create a basic train and order it to park at the depot you just created, it is now controlled by the Cybersyn network. Depots and stations can have any train stop name, names do not impact their function. The circuit network input of a station's cybernetic combinator determines what items that station will request or provide to the Cybersyn network. A positive item signal is interpreted as that station providing that item to the network; A negative item signal is interpreted as that station requesting that item from the network.

To make a basic provider station, create an item buffer of chests or tanks adjacent to the station's tracks, and connect that buffer by wire to the input of the cybernetic combinator. To make a basic requester station, repeat the same, except reverse the direction of the inserters or pumps so they are *unloading* instead of loading; then connect a constant combinator to the same circuit network, set it to output the number of item you want this requester station to keep loaded in its item buffer, and flip the sign of each so the signal strength is negative. Once the provider station contains the item being requested, a train will automatically be sent to deliver that item from the provider station to the requester station. The requester station's buffer will automatically be topped up on the item being requested. Be sure that the requester station has the space to at minimum unload 2 fully loaded trains.

Then add the signal called "Request threshold" to the constant combinator. Set its signal strength to be at most the cargo capacity of the trains in your system. Once the provider station contains the item being requested, a train will automatically be sent to deliver that item from the provider station to the requester station. The requester station's buffer will automatically be topped up on the item being requested. Be sure that the requester station has the space to at minimum unload 2 fully loaded trains.
Follow the above directions and you have set up a bare minimum Cybersyn network! You may continue adding onto it with more stations and depots and Cybersyn will automatically manage all of them for you. There is one issue with this kind of network though; trains won't always deliver full loads of cargo, meaning trains will make deliveries more frequently than is necessary. To fix this issue you will need to start using "request thresholds". To get a full picture of how request thresholds work, either import the official example blueprints from above, or read the **Request thresholds** section below.
