That seems rather destructive. Needs a lot of repair packs long term and you can't use any signals with this.arrow in my gluteus wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHQcxVylU9k
You can increase the (time)efficiency of your trains by researching breaking force. But even with breaking force fully researched, trains take a while to stop. But there are other ways to get trains to stop fast...
For example: by crashing into an other train on purpose.

Huh? When a signal is reserved then setting it to red with a circuit is ignored till the train has passed. Anything else would be a bug.looney wrote:Use a circuit condition to close a signal, trains then stop on a dime.
Hmm, you would put 2 stations near each other. First station is disabled, second is the currently scheduled station. Then when the train is right at the first station disable all stations. and next tick enable the first station. The train would stop and then halt at the first station.Aeternus wrote:Disable all the stations on the train's route. No path found -> Speed becomes 0 instantly. With some clever combinator magic plus a rail signal in read mode that trick should be usable to halt a train in a desired position.
It is intentional! And the trains really do instantly stop if you change a signal right in front of it to red.mrvn wrote: Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:27 amHuh?

Sure you not just raise the gate and change the signal too late? Also you don't need a gate if the signal turns red.Aeternus wrote: Tue Nov 06, 2018 12:04 pm Not in my experience. I had a circuit controlled safe crossing that raises a gate and changes approaching signals to red if a player approaches the gate in front of the crossing. Trains tend to blow right through the gates (destroying them in the process without slowing at all) and completely ignore the signal.
So just put a perpendicular rail section in place? Interesting. Will give that a try.hansjoachim wrote: Wed Nov 07, 2018 10:35 amSure you not just raise the gate and change the signal too late?

I might need an intersecting rail for the instant stop to happen.
