Im going to back all this up with a pic, you simply can not do something like in this picture below with a side by said rail system. A side by side without proper intersections will have at best a lop sided weird looking loop for intersections to allow traffic to go in any direction, it looks ugly ...

I can't help it, but laying down tracks without space in between them just looks ugly. :lol: I think it looks the best... and also another reason why side-by-side tracks are, objectively, the msot efficient: What I notice the most, is that it actually feels like a train network.

I turn off RSO, alien ore appears, turn it on, nothing, all gone. New start as well. I go into editor, and I can manual...
