[0.10.12] signal not splitting block

[arl85]

left roundabout is working correctly, but right one is quite strange: the signal all right is red (it should be green) and green signal leading north should be red (instead it's green)


checking block numbers it seems that both signals on "north branch" are not splitting blocks.

save is here

The signal on the right loop of track is further forward than the one on the left. It needs to be back further for it to split the track into a new segment.

That's not a bug. Signals can't split when connected to a curve - you have to place them on straight track and not one that also has a curve connected on the same tile.

I think it is a user interface problem, which needs to be fixed, cause I see those kinds of errors in a lot other reports and questions about railway and videos and even me makes this kind of error: Sometimes it's hard to decide, if a signal is placed right or wrong.

Some headwords:
- direct visibility of blocks, when placing and when running trains on it
- automatic placement of rails, signals and poles over longer distances
- handling of whole segments (a bit like blueprints, eg. whole train stations), and here whole working crossings with signals etc.

I don't know if it could be related to signal problems, but have a look at this image

I don't think so. It is just the order you build it.

I tried building in different order but result is the same, so I think build order is not relevant.

Signals now blink in the same way as when they are not connected when they actually not split the block. This could help the confusion, I actually find some faulty signals in my factory as well.
