Allow modification of rail block connections the pathfinder sees

Post by Illiander42 »

This is (primarily) for the Train Tunnels mod.

It would be really useful to be able to tell the train pathfinder that two rail blocks (possibly on different surfaces) are to be treated as though they are connected, even though they're not next to each other.

I would have thought that I requested this already too. But there is no thread to be found about it in my postings :|
Maybe it was only talked about it on discord.

I don't see this as ever being feasible with how the train system works.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Train tunnels, or letting modders have access to the rail block tree?
