Sorry for the late response, when the train is arriving at the last green signal before the red one at the locking unit it will turn available path green instantly and let it pass through locking unit. Or if the train tries to take another path (standing on the checking rail for too long) will open ...

Red signal will completely block that path. A train cannot path through a red signal except under manual control or if it was already pathing through it when it turned red and it cannot stop in time. I am not sure why you think it can path through it. Im not thinking that it will pass through. A re...

Thats why im suggesting it here in the suggestions section.

You can use it to make slow lanes, also to get the long-distance trains up to speed so they can run through biter territory. Im using chain signals in non protected/biter territoy and place some protected areas (where the longest train fit in) with regular traffic light in the entrance and regular ...

I don't like clicking into a dozen places to discover new posts.

Same here! Maybe a way to sort threads by their creation date would be useful to find new stuff easier?

It wouldnt prevent the Pathfinder from considering it to be a valid path if the other lanes have more penalty on it due to red signal or waiting train blocking. If you place signals on both sides of the track (but not directly opposite each other) then you make a section of track that automatic tra...

To lock a track path for the pathfinder could also be useful to reserve tracks for player controlled train to keep a rail clear from automatic driving trains so that a player can drive in without the chance to crash into automatic trains. Just place signals on both sides of the track to prevent any...

Made a concept which seems to work most of the time evenly distributing the trains (1-1). Test and shoot please. What your setup does in my test is stacking litle trains one side by side which means it doesnt keep the rails clear for long trains: Stacker1.jpg My target is to stack small trains behi...

I like the idea to have food a start could be to make the fish edible. Additional to have something to eat it could be intresting to feed colonists as consumer of food (and maybe other stuff for consumer/colonists?)

The connection of the inner and outer line in the turnaround part was planned to make rail change possible. When i put that crossing in a diffrent place there would be another place where the trains have to wait (maybe less long per wait but more often) which result in more travel time due to more b...

This would do well i think: Lock Path.jpg The pathfinder would not prefer that path with red signals where the checkbox is active. Instead it would try to use another path if possible. When the checkbox is active the red signal penalty would be extremely high so that waiting train penalty may never ...

I think a "Science & Research Setups" cathegory would make sense.

Nice work there with the tests. Im suggesting a test that includes trains that want to turnaround and railchange. That is possible on the test bench. The only reason I see for adding it would be to show why you shouldn't allow U-turns or lane switching in your intersections. Where do you suggest th...

Sharing my blueprints with you.

I wish it would simply save copper wire connections in blueprints. The auto connection always mess up my power switch built from blueprint. Just think about when you have larger blueprints with multiple power switches controlled by wirenetwork and you have to fix all of them manually. Power Switch.j...

Im not a modder nor do i know what to do with that code.
When its a multiplier what it seems to may shouldnt be zero the one would keep the current number not increasing while zero would completely remove penalty from it?

Possibly it is the increasing penalty from waiting trains causing this problem. I think it would solve the problem if the increasing penalty wasnt there and give a fix penalty to each waggon instead. Its because any waiting train penalty will overrule any placed red signal sooner or later due to inc...

it would help to simply have control over penalty values a regular signal could show The specific penalties can now be found in the utility constants, which allows mods to change them. (Undocumented) So this says, that it is possible to alter the penalties. Maybe you can mod values, that suit you? ...
