What is the purpose of your pickiness?

Throughput.

Sorry, can not understand the problem, please explain. I can confirm, that turning to the right (from top) blocks the train, which turns to left (from bottom), it is expected behaviour for unbuferred intersections (and for buffered probably as well). Why not just use the Wide instead? The only adva...

This situation is imposible, train can not move to top from bottom-right line as well as can not move to bottom from top-left line. Probably you mean the mirror situation, but here there is not differences in comparing to SQUAREABOUT (it is not an issue for this intersection): Yes, I put the arrows...

Also, left turns do not block intersection:

They block each other:

There are no reason to design any intersections again, just these simple ramps and mergers. There are non-ramp intersections possible that are more compact. Ramp tech comes later, so there will still be a place for non-ramp intersections. Even though there are fewer possibilities because of ramps, ...

Doing some handwavy math, does this mean that 2 lane intersections will always be limited to a score of ~100 with regular merges, and ~130 with high-speed merges? In practice, regular merges can get slightly higher because trains will not always come to a stop. The high score of 33-34 tpm is genera...

Hello! 1. Is there some intro writeup to intersection design? I see a bunch of patterns repeated in multiple of the intersections here, some of which make sense in retrospect but some of them are a mystery to me. I have not seen any advanced intersection writeup. Most tutorials go over the signals. ...

Also, as we need some more cursed intersections... We absolutely need more cursed intersections lol. I love it! Unfortunately, when I went to test it with the new mod, I got variable results (set 3 incorrectly testing). So I tried to test with the 5.3.3 bench as well and got good scores with RHT bu...

could some one tell me if this is a decent intersection I would suggest posting your BP to the Factorio discord server. There is a channel named "train-help" were you could get exhaustive help from many people. The closest intersection to yours appears to be the Buffered Compact Attempt ....

So. Today's FFF (#377) on rail changes. (Insert George Takei "Oh my!" here. I can neither confirm nor deny the reports of uncontrolled giggling.) Seriously though, holy crap that's going to make things interesting for intersection design. I'm quite excited for the new curves. They both lo...

I believe that you would need to modify the circuits to reduce the tpm on the X->W trains, although they would even out anyhow as the outbound west line would only be able to take maximum trains. I don't believe that there's a built in way to do this with the test bench and I don't have time to mess...

The mod Automatic Train Deployment (0.1.11) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Kano may see it here, however you should probably post mod problems to the mod page to make sure:

I wonder if there is a factor for this that's worth measuring for determining whether a result is actually useful. You need to change the tpm. It's tuned for 2-4 trains so that there is a small gap that allows other trains to go. In the picture, the left circled CC is for manually changing the opti...

Set 1 76 Set 2 64 Set 3 57 ----- Score 66 Results if just built on top of old intersection: Set 1 74 Set 2 57 Set 3 53 ----- Score 62 I've posted your intersection, however my results were each 3 lower. I'm guessing that it's because I put safe exit blocks on it, which I believe are needed.

https://i.imgur.com/U7KpGaV.png Overall, it's not poorly signaled but I have some suggestions. The yellow dots are where chain signals should be added. The chain before the red circled rail is needed to stop trains from blocking the crossing traffic. The red circled rail indicates a block that a tr...

I've tested both intersections with M = 90. And they tested 104 and 103 which seemed good to me. They have been posted under the hurricane header next to mine and given design credit as "clorine". But maybe an extra TMP or two can be gained by an experienced rail wizard moving/adding/remov...

Hope this is Ok, not trying to steal the lime light or any credits ;) I am absolutely fine with adaptations of all of my intersections. When I have adapted others' intersections (generally for LHT) I just put "Designed by [insert person here]. Adapted for LHT by Avona." or something simil...

I wonder if you could put in a header at the 92 position for "MultiCross Expanded: 92" with a "See below" link ... I'm fine with the way the four listed blueprints are linked to factoriobin. Just wanted to have a link added below I don't believe that the script supports a "...

What upgrade do you think I need, when Factorio doesn't even use a full potential of my computer? Your point a) was about fps, not ups, therefore it isn't applicable (graphics are not the limiting factor for Factorio; it's a 2d game). If the computer is not running the game at the stated ups, it is...

I noticed in the current listing here for my 2-lane Multicross, the "expanded" version is lumped in with it on the same entry and even though it had a significantly higher score, the score for the smaller version is what's listed on the heading, and determined its position in the list. .....
