Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

RHD drives on the left side of the road Shouldn't that be right side? In my language we say translated rightdriving/leftdriving where rightdriving is driving on the right. But in English right hand drive means the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. And cars with the steering wheel on t...

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

[ RHT/LHT (When did D become T? What does T stand for?) Score: 109/111 Set1: 115/114 Set2: 104/108 Hey Farcast, what a cool intersection! I'll test it later. RHD is a term describing where the wheel is placed in a car so cars with RHD drives on the left side of the road. Since our use of RHD/LHD is...

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

I am back with more intersections. :) I took some inspiration from my blitz roundabout but then i rotated it 45°and added frontend buffers. The first design does not use parallel buffers for the same direction and it scored slightly better than Windmill MK2. The second design has more parallel buff...

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections

v5.0.6 With version 5.0.4 multiple issues were fixed regarding the 3/4way detector. Also added lights to easier see which trains are being spawned and named all stations so that you can see which trains are being spawned. Makes it easier to change things and to understand the bench. 5.0.5 introduced...

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections

v5 Major update Now it's an intersection tester for any intersections! if you are missing some connections, trains will use whatever lanes are available. The update from Kano to the spawning mod makes that possible. Support for up to 16 ways or any combination of planned intersections. There is no n...

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections

v4.6.1 New RHT and LHT Detector. Together with 4.6 this now makes all kinds of combinations possible to test without errors. You can also now connect to whatever rail you want. No need to use the inner lanes. This makes it easier to adapt to different rail spacings as you don't have to do all the cu...

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections

so if i am understanding you correctly, if i were to make exact copies of the original stations, rename the new stations like NE, NW, SE, SW, and add them to the trains for routes then it would work as a proper 8 way intersection testing system. no need to change any of the combinators in the syste...

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections

would adding in the additional stops as exact copies of the 4 originals and just connect with circuit wires to the rest work? Will i need to add in additional trains for routes? will i need to modify the combinator system much if at all? That would work but it would be equivalent to just splitting ...

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections

New version 4.6 Adjustable input tpm, so that you can go beyond the standard 29 TPM or lower to hit the sweet spot for your intersection. Max is 33 tpm per lane. Removed crossing between input and output. Allows intersections that uses [input output input output] for 4 lanes. Instead of the normal 4...

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

At the moment I'm not sure the best way to gather metrics, so I'm seeking advice on that as well. I was able to confirm that this is not a property of buffered intersections specifically, but rather how trains path in general. Here's an example: unknown.png My goal is to get trains to take the stra...

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

Based on a little bit of my testing it seems that many buffered intersections out there encourage trains to turn rather than go straight. This may be because of the longer paths inside the intersection from the buffering. Regardless, it leads to high scores on the testbench, where only a single int...

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections

4.5.2 Fixed a rounding error, where it would round down from .9 instead off up.
Now it rounds up from .5

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

I strongly prefer intersections that do not support lane changes and do not support U-turns. I know that will sound crazy to some folks and I don't want to derail this thread with debates about it. :D But it means I actually agree with sparr that it would be useful to be clear about this. However, ...

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

I'd like to see some standardized labeling in the main list to differentiate between intersections where each incoming rail can or can't get to each outgoing rail. At the moment we only include intersection where every incoming lane can go to every direction. But do you mean lanechangers or not? On...

Re: Testbench for 3/4way intersections

4.3.1 Feature update: Custom train sets, an optional addon for auto testing multiple times You can set a custom train path so that it simulates your own factory better. Much easier to adjust train lengths now. You have to be in manual mode to test custom sets. Minor fixes - You can switch set in the...

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

Finally managed to match the score of the number 1 on the 2-lane 4-way unbuffered section :D It took some tweaking, I tried to force it to be spaced by 2 tiles, but I could only make it work with spacing 4 (on RHD at least). I call it Snowball 1:50, 2:39, 3:51, s:47 Probably got lucky though, I fee...
