Add a Lane Blocker

Post by Erendir »

Some time ago (almost 2 years) there existed a mod called Belt Blocker (viewtopic.php?f=87&t=6227) which added a way to stop just one lane of a belt, but the mod isn't compatible with the latest version of the game.

Currently there is an alternative way to do this, by using just one entrance of an underground belt, like this.

Since the functionality actually already exists (which may very well be a bug), it would be nice to have a proper way to block just one lane of a belt.

This has been discussed in length several times, and the devs themselves have said that this is not a bug with the underground belts, and that its the "Proper way" to block one side of a belt.

Ah, I was looking in the "Frequently Suggested Ideas" viewtopic.php?f=80&t=4806 for this.

Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.
