@Zavian: Thanks for all the tips! I will try as you suggest.

@boskid: I really appreciate your technical explanation of how it works! Thank you very much!

Thanks for the tips with the blueprints. Yes its actually all copy/paste. But it will still be a lot of fun. I can't deactive all trains because I need power to defend against the biters. So I'll have to do it very carefully in a smart way.

Just so that you have a feeling about what I am talking ...

Is this a city block style rail network?

True. I have quadrants. Between quadrants I have two rails going parallel into one direction so that two trains can drive besides each other. Inside the quadrant I have a ring-rail that standardises the inside (so that I can copy/paste factory parts into ...

Thanks for the answer. In that case I will have to change my rail layout to make it more performant.

It is impossible to collapse straight segments together, because that would break the ability for trains to drive very close.

Wouldn't it be possible to separate this issue from the main path ...

Hi All,

I have a quick question. I have quite a large factory and sometimes the train pathfinder took up to 50ms according to the debug overlay. Therefore I was thinking about what I was doing wrong and especially I was thinking about removing signals to have less train segments. At the moment I ...
