Hearing reports from the FMMO community that .40 completely breaks train signals? Anyone confirm?

You got that right. Mine are quite literally "on the blink".

Wuuuuuuuuubbbe, what did ya fiddle with this time? ^^

EDIT: After reading through this: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=60043 people are able to place new "virgin" blocks of signals that work, but "old" ones will blink.
No offence, but this "fix" was kind of a big mistake, and it's also unclear what the bug actually was beforehand as the changelog-bot here doesn't link to a topic.
Also using a lua-console code to automagically replace all signal-lamps, while effective, disables achievements which I'm sure many players do not want either.
Perhaps it would be best to quickly rollout a reversion "update", as I cannot see too many people manually replacing all their signals in order to keep achievements.

Sigh.... SO MANY CRASHED TRAINS....

I really shouldn't have been on the experimental latest.

Somebody should get a census together and tally up just how many trains were crashed with that update.

[Hydro Engineer]

I had three trains in one pileup and I only have 4 trains. The fourth train was on its own circuit.

Aren't all trains supposed to be on their own circuit??

Oh, wait, no...they aren't...I lost sooooo many nuclear fueled trains............

Just don't save in 0.16.40 and revert to. 39.

It's an alpha game.

Multiplayer server...don't control the saves...ah well, live and learn...or don't...either way...

You're saying...
... this update is a trainwreck? *sunglasses*
[edit] Joking of course, just to be on the safe side. Glitches happen during prerelease, 's what they call experimental.
