Hi
I use rail signals in my mod, to help me place my entity close to rails. Once this is done, I add another entity, but I have to keep the rail signal to allow blue printing of the item. However, I don't want this rail signal to have any impact on the rail, so I deactivated it, but it has no impact:
When placing the entity, it gives a direction to the rail and has impact on other rail signals.
Can you fix it?
Thanks

Niko

Deactivating is for entities that are updatable, and signals are not. Right now signals are disconnected from rails only when they are marked to be deconstructed. Blueprint that contains rail signals can be placed far from rails so this would not force placement near rails.
