[2.0.14] Train failing to find path

Post by kammak743 »

2.0.14 with SA

Waiting for this to be pointed out as a problem with my current terrible starting rails in this game, but think I've found an issue where a train won't automatically route over a certain section in either direction despite it being possible when driven manually and manually following signals.

.
In the screenshot above the train is just to the left of centre and just onto the turn downwards. It's aiming towards the station on the far middle right but won't move in auto mode until I've advanced it past the green signal ahead. It's not just that it's treating this green signal as red, it won't run from any point further back past other signals either.

To me, it looks more like a problem with signal placement, but I might be mistaken.
I've moved some signals around, the train has no problem finding the path, take a look if it solves your problem

Yep, you've got it there. Another 'not a bug'. I hadn't quite appreciated what all the symbols in the signal overlay meant until now. Thanks

To be honest, I have noticed the symbols for the first time as well :)
I haven't built a lot of two-way rails before, so TIL!
