Block markers when mouse over rails

Post by polwel »

Hi all,

With the advent of .13 I have picked up Factorio again. IIRC, when you previously hovered the cursor over a rail section, yellow arrows would indicate the possible paths a train could take from that point. They seem to be gone in the current version.
I haven't found any statement about a removal of this feature. What am I missing/doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Currently i only managed to get them by hovering over signals or train stations.
Can't remember if they also were visible on rails - are you sure?

Exactly. The old feature was quite helpful sometimes.

I don't have a screenshot, but luckily we have youtube :)

Wooow yes the good old times :D
Thanks for the video.

I guess the developers just forgot to implemment it.
Hopefully they bring it back.
