... hitting 2:1. The diagonal-adjacent curve has no such theoretical possibility at all. Not that many people even have access now. And then the new bridges add even more curves. Bring on the speculation!

... That is still a mystery to me. The design for the load/unload area for train with loco facing each way i think i recognized it from the FFF with bridges and ramps so i assumed every other rectangle similar are for trains. I just realized that on your screenshot there are 9 science packs shown ...

... about the strange white T in the blueprint Are you talking about the train ramps/briges ? that's all i can see :D I was not sure if it was ramps/bridges here White_rectangle_in_map_view.jpg but maybe the rails are near enough to confuse me. Found this other example Rectangle_or_elevated_rails.jpg ...

... give you a reason to mass produce stuff that you can't really upgrade or use later. How many thousands of burner miners are you producing really? Bridges And on the topic of rail bridges, saying that it is QoL without new gameplay is just false. It completely changes how throughput of crossings ...

... them for increased throughput but it will probably just be mostly for fun rather than necessity. There will be some interesting effects of having bridges appear later in the tech tree. If you already have a train network, you'll be able to upgrade existing junctions. I'm very much looking forward ...

... So all that will need tabs or extra pages or icons or something. (For "consumed by" see above.) Maybe I was assuming a separate tech for bridges there. That tech page would then be exclusively for the elevated-rails mod, so we could skip the elevated-rails mod tab, and instead mention ...

Unexpectedly, the introduction of bridges solves one of the first expansion problems noticed by the community Since the goal was to make the overall expansion experience as good as possible, we have rebalanced the tech tree. This means, that ...

... trains flowing - but trains had to travel the whole loop to get back to a station that was in front of the starting location. So i feel great with bridges. I hope, that the costs of elevated rails is high, so that the feeling of building is like a great accomplishment.

... weight. Though I would love if we could get animated bendy rails for when a train goes over them. But who cares about graphics! Gimme my rail bridges already I can't wait a year!

Rail bridges is the most wanted feature from TTD, that we waited for in Factorio. And now it becomes real. And even better, than in TTD. Yay!

... another puzzle ,where you try and fit the blueprint on a( infinite) map,(sandbox) or a ribbon world (puzzle). For such playstyle the additions of bridges and curves and half diagonals feels very very good, because the "small puzzle" of trying to fit the existing "pieces" to ...

In my opinion, it's much simpler. I fully agree on your analysis, although i'm not sure it's much simpler to conclude that bridges help tremendously for concentrating production at the map scale. I went through pretty much the same trajectory as the process of dis-entanglement you mentionned ...

... For my setup, after optimizations and some disentanglement, even less crossings were not possible. There are 2 ways left to get less crossings: bridges/tunnels or a less dense base in the first place. Since there are no bridges/tunnels in 1.1, the only thing to bring congestion down is to distribute ...

... amusement, I've noticed that there is a problem with shadow casting now, limited by either engine or artists manual labor complexity. Prior to bridges, it made perfect sense that shadow layer is singular, uniform and located above ground-layer entities, but below all the other on-ground entities. ...

... to elevated rails either. Which makes it much easier to use cliffs as natural barriers for defense. I do have a question though... The beautiful bridges mod makes long-distance electric power poles placeable on water. Elevated rails have support pylons that are placeable on water, but there seems ...

... would be exciting to see included as new entities if possible (And requisite elevated station.) All that is missing now is elevated foot/traffic bridges. Also elevated conveyor belts! ;) Electric poles with supports above water would be awesome if possible. Also electric poles or wires somehow ...

Can we walk on the bridges?

Long string coming up....) --------------------- As we can’t walk on the bridges what happens if for example a train runs out of fuel on elevated tracks over water? If you're going to allow building long stretches of elevated ...
