I think i went through the whole topic and the only legitimate use case was the safe crossing on a bidirectional rail. When having large intersection, disabling particular exit can be done with a regular signal, disabling particular entrance can be done with a regular signal followed by the chain si...

Moving to Duplicate as it should be fixed for 1.1.0 by 90015

facepalm I noticed this crash at the same time when the "consider tile transition" pathfinder crash was happening which was around 0.17.79, there is even a test case written 9 months ago just for that, but it was disabled until it will be fixed and it was forgotten. Basically the issue is ...

Are you sure this zip file is not corrupted?

It looks as more general problem: since the entity is NotBuildable at that position in manual building sense, there is no way rail signal can communicate which directions are preferred. Same issue applies to the offshore pumps if the place for it has colliding tree: the offshore pump will not snap p...

This is the console/chat history. It is only stored for the purpose of showing you the console/chat if you reopen it with a tilde.

a/ After save-load hooks will stop working

No

Yes they will stop working if they were provided from the console.

If a script is in control.lua, it will be provided to all players and will survive the save-load so it will be persistent within that game.

Using script.on_event in console command has multiple issues that i hate: a/ After save-load hooks will stop working b/ Because of the a, the replay will break c/ Because of the a, multiplayer will desync (assuming other players would be able to join as they would most likely get the script mismatc...

it only applies to the entities that are currently placed. Running any command will disable achievements.

This bug report will not matter in 1.1.0.

Tiny update about this behavior: in 1.1.0 the train will not halt at the chain signal before the waypoint when the path is extended. Instead in the case where after the waypoint there is chain signal that cannot be reserved and the train would be in chain signal section when approaching the waypoint...

Cannot reproduce any desyncs with given blueprint string and provided steps.

Why doesn't the internal code use >41 instead of >=42? That's what I still don't understand. What would break or be inaccurate if we did that?

Because it would look bad when box would stick out of the block.

Ref 88396 (or duplicate?)

Ok, the issue is now fixed for the next release (1.1.0). It also covers another issue that i noticed which is tightly related to this. - Fixed that train could get stuck within chain signal section when exit signal is requested to close by circuit network and train is forced to repath. (https://foru...

That does not change the fact that the current calculation does not match the relevant game mechanics. I know, and it is intended to not follow them. You are right that the block behind is not occupied by that train since the last rail joint is within block ahead with a 0.842 of distance to spare. ...

No. It is 0.16 of distance outside of current block. End of the rolling stock is at the point A while the block ends at the point B. 89185-detailed.png If you want to measure the length of the segment yourself, use this command by pointing onto a rail between a train stop and a signal (no junctions ...

Now how to fix this so the previous fix from 0.17.49 - Fixed that rail signal disabled by circuit network didn't prevent train passing by it if it guards a block that is already reserved/occupied by the same train. (https://forums.factorio.com/71839) is still true. Basically the issue is because tra...

Provided save file has only 3 trains and the map looks quite different from what is in the video (a lot less rails).
