[2.0.13] Cannot place old rails

Post by shampoo »

When I open a save I had from 1 on 2, and I delete a rail to modify it there is no way to add new rail to the deleted rails. The cursor just jumps and it does not connect to the old rail.

Re: [Factorio 2.0.13] Old save does not let me repair rails

Post by boskid »

Welcome on forums and thanks for the report. This is a known sacrifice we had to make since we introduced new rail shapes in 2.0 (more about this in https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-377). Unfortunately diagonal rails have incompatible alignment and so you cannot use rail planner to continue from section of old rails. For a temporary fixes you should be able to fix those rails using blueprints but in general you will need to rebuild parts of those rails so they use new rail pieces that were added in 2.0.
