Notes: The post is about trains, and says the game is "inspired by Transport Tycoon" everywhere and that the concept could be used "almost completely" for trains. A long thread follows; the quoted lines are the first post. The permalink is viewtopic.php?p=10#p10.

In February 2013 kovarex wrote that "the game is inspired by Transport Tycoon" and proposed using its concept for Factorio's trains almost completely: stations, a route for each train, and trains that wait at a station until the inserters have nothing to do.	`first post, kovarex, 7 February 2013`	Dev blog
kovarex's 2013 proposal for Factorio's trains took Transport Tycoon's concept "almost completely": stations, a route for each train, and a train that waits at a station. His train waits until the inserters have nothing left to do, where Transport Tycoon's FULL LOAD order waits until it is full.	`first post, kovarex, 7 February 2013`	Manual
