Thanks for the many years of entertainment, and many more with the new expansion.

Congratulations on being the number 1 & 2 top sellers on steam, you folks deserve it. The passion and care you've shown over the years is great to see in the mire that gaming has become in some sectors over the last ...

Ok I must say that is the first time I have ever been rick rolled and enjoyed it, that is fantastic man.

No special rules or anything like that just a vanilla (for now) let's play for the new release of 0.13.

Going to try and check out the new features and play with them as much as possible along the way.

Episode 1 is here.

Full Playlist is here.

Come check it out, comment on what I do wrong ...

Checking or unchecking the "active" checkbox for a train on the Iron w-2-1 line gives the error

Error in SmartTrains:__SmartTrains__/gui.lua:553 attempt to index local 't' (a nil value)

Ticking marked and hitting delete marked gives the error

Let me know what you come up with, I'd be interested to see what kind of temporary solutions can be used to fix the problem for the time being.

Right now the solution I use is just to separate the in/out lines so that the pathway along the "shortcut" isn't continuous which of course keeps the ...

a waypoint system would work just as well as my suggestion, extra train stops don't seem to be the best solution as that would also fill the list of train stops with "detour around xx" stops or such. As for not being able to remember where such rail has been placed, just making the section of rail a ...

Basically a "dense" rail you can use that is normal except the path-finding algorithm "sees" it as 100 units long (or a variable length) instead of 1 unit.
Allows much easier control of path-finding selection of routes for trains to travel, as well as easy prevention of trains taking "short-cuts ...

Thanks for the suggestion, I used that for the title and amended the wording of the post to be a bit clearer.

I understand that, that is why I suggested when holding a damaged piece to drag all the other damaged ones get used, if you had a non-damaged piece it would work as it does now

Drag-placing a damaged object (ie turret, wall, etc) prefers placing damaged objects of that type out of your inventory before non-damaged ones.

Drag-placing a non-damaged object prefers placing non damaged objects.

Edit: Clarified a bit in title and body.

Actually thought of this while streaming the other day

Portable radar, basically extends the players vision radius by a decent amount (somewhere around a regular radar's coverage maybe), fairly expensive on power but could be stacked for additional radius effect.

Figured I'd post this for completeness, expanding the T-intersection for the merge of 2 heavy traffic lines
As long as the diagonal parts are long enough to hold one train between the signals it allows one train to sit on the "siding" while another comes along and goes a different direction
But ...
