Are you allowed to share the U turn ? or is this qualify of some sort ?

If you combine all the U-turn routes into a roundabout then it's possible for a train to route into its own tail end which causes problems.

No, this mod abuses a bug where trains are only checked for collision if they are in the same rail block, and rail blocks only connect if the collision boxes for their rail entities overlap. So the bridge is actually two rail entities with collision boxes that don't overlap but otherwise do they job...

You can get even more compact if you don't need left turns

I tried and could not come up with a smaller version using diagonal bridges, because there are so many curves.

They prevent a train from turning left then getting stuck, blocking other forward or right turning traffic, if there's an alternate path to their destination.

This blueprint places correctly, but if you rotate it 180 degrees the signal won't place and will be invalid. 0eNqV0lEKgzAMANC75LsOZ3WOXmWM4TRsAa3SVpmId1/UMSZ2H36VtMlrWjLAvWyxMaQdqAEor7UFdRnA0kNn5bTn+gZBATmsQIDOqikyGZUwCiBd4AvUcbwKQO3IES71c9DfdFvd0XDCtzJvTYdFMAMCmtpyTa2ni9gJOK+fFqYLMpgvZxxuxOgrWsfY4...

I would like to be able to check a box such that when a batch of mod updates finishes downloading, the game will automatically restart instead of me needing to notice that it's finished and then manually click Confirm.

As I write this I have Factorio running in the background and my browser focused, because I'm in the middle of a 10+ minute mod update cycle. I would love for there to be a sound effect when the downloads finish.

Bumping this to hopefully reach new eyes with new perspectives on rail and interchange design.

Just to be clear, this bug happens even when there are no ghosts involved, when placing a wagon directly onto track manually. The last replies seem to be focusing on ghost stuff.

I built this manually by accident first. The blueprint was just so I could post a bug report.

maybe two arrows on each segment, maybe one arrow on each segment, maybe a diamond, maybe the current graphic. doesn't matter to me as long as it's distinguishable.

I am also seeing duplicate locomotives and wagons placed in various situations with rails close to each other. Also notable is that sometimes the green "this is where the wagon will go" ghost will jump many tiles away from my cursor after placing a wagon, but without placing a second one.

Currently when placing signals the rail blocks are highlighted in different colors, and the ends of each segment/block have flat caps on the lines. I think it would be very useful if the caps were arrows indicating which way trains are allowed to travel at that end. I can mock up a screenshot if tha...

Heya, sure. Maybe you'd like to use this endpoint?

Thanks for this! I have a project in progress that needs to download new versions when they come out, and this will help me.

Bump. I'd really like to understand this so I can do more planning and less trial/error in my rail layouts. Also so I can explain it on the wiki for others.
