Post by SuperSandro2000 »

I' trying to build a better rail system. And this Signal does not turn red. I replaced it several times.

Hello, this is not a bug in fact.

The reason why it is green is, that the bottom and top part of the signal are both the same block, because of the intersections on the left, so no train should get to the block.

The same situation would be a rail circle with one signal, it would also be still green, because the left/right side of it is the same track.

How must I change my build when a train drives from the bottom to the top and another one on the from the bottom to the right?

It will never happen, as it is one block, the trains will not get to single block.

To make it different blocks, you could add a semaphor on the diagonal parts.
