Community-written libraries exist for interacting with schedules. These are not made by or affiliated with the Create team. The ones below stem from the Minecraft Computer Mods Discord Server, and can be used to contact the developers!

trainlib ​

A pseudo-OOP library for building train schedules.

In this example, we will assign a schedule to drive to Station 1, then wait for a player (or more) to mount, after which it will drive to Station 2 and wait for them to dismount.

lua
local tl = require("trainlib")

local schedule = tl.schedule(true) -- cyclic / looping!
local conditions = tl.condition_set_or():addCondition(tl.conditions.player_count(1, false))
local conditions_destination = tl.condition_set_or():addCondition(tl.conditions.player_count(0, true))

schedule
    :addEntry(tl.entry(tl.instructions.destination("Station 1"), conditions))
    :addEntry(tl.entry(tl.instructions.destination("Station 2"), conditions_destination))

station.setSchedule(schedule)

Scheduler ​

A minimalistic "it just works" library for magically building train schedules. Also supports Steam 'n' Rails, Crafts & Additions, and Railways Navigator, and is easily extensible. Full LuaLS documentation is included in the library.

In this example, we will assign a schedule to drive to Station 1, then wait for 5 seconds, and then wait for the station to be powered, or until the time hits 14:00 (every day), then drive to Station 2 and wait for a second.

lua
local Scheduler = require("scheduler")

local schedule = Scheduler.new(true) -- cyclic / looping!
    :to("Station 1")
        :wait(5):powered()
        :OR():time(14, 0, "daily")
    :to("Station 2")
        :wait(1)

station.setSchedule(schedule)

Create Scheduler / DSL for Create Train Schedules ​

A domain-specific language for writing schedules.

In this example, we will assign a schedule to drive to Station 1, then wait 5 minutes, and then wait for the station to be powered, or until the time hits 14:00, then drive to Station 2 and wait for a minute, use this DSL code:

scheduler
cyclic
to "Station 1" {
  wait 5m, powered
  time = 14:00 daily
}
to "Station 2" { wait 1m }

Then, turn it into a schedule like so:

lua
local mksched = require "create-scheduler"
local schedule = mksched("cyclic to ...")
station.setSchedule(schedule)
