Add possibility to connect the loader / deloader to the logistic network #19

Hello,

First, I'm a big fan of the mod, you did a great job.

But I have a little suggestion, can you add the possibility to connect the loader / deloader to the logistic network?

That would allow us to do a lot of things, like filtering items, adding activation conditions, activating the loader under certain conditions only,... well you see.

That's one of the things I think is missing in this mod.

Thanks a lot, hopefully a positive answer.

You can already connect BRLs to the logistic network by positioning logistic chests in the correct locations. See the documentation for “interface chests.” You can control the loader by connecting it to the circuit network and sending it the “disable railloader” signal if you don’t want it to transfer items into or out of the wagon.

For balance and realism reasons, I do not plan to add filters to the BRLs.

Right, thank you for the information!
