Mod Request: Railroad crossing block
Like a crossbuck or other such railway crossing safety device.
The basic idea is a single block that can be attached to a railway line, and can be used like a railway crossing, with minimal circuitry setup.
When a train approaches the crossing gates on the track, the gates close, the lights flash and a bell sounds. Cars and people can't go through the gates.
When the track is clear again, the lights stop, the bell turns off, and the gates open.

I am dragonkin and proud of it. If you don't like furries or dragons, tough.
Blocking me will only prove me right.
I love trains, I love aircraft, I love space, I love Factorio.

Doubt that's possible beyond using normal gates+rails with hidden entities (signals+wires)
One may as well use a blueprint

Perhaps but I really don't feel like doing that... Complex setups are not for me.

Re: Mod Request: Railroad crossing block
That would be what the blueprint is for. Make it once and paste it from then on. A mod would basically be the blueprint but with hidden entities, I don't think there's a way to do it otherwise.Saphira123456 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 1:27 pm Perhaps but I really don't feel like doing that...

Hey, if that's the only way to do it then go ahead and do it. Publish it and I'll download it!

Alternatively, make it once, save it to your blueprint library, and don't worry about it.Saphira123456 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 2:05 am Hey, if that's the only way to do it then go ahead and do it. Publish it and I'll download it!

I wouldn't be able to figure out how! And if I was able to, I wouldn't have posted it here!kirazy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 6:16 amAlternatively, make it once, save it to your blueprint library, and don't worry about it.Saphira123456 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 2:05 am Hey, if that's the only way to do it then go ahead and do it.

Can I get some step-by-step instructions?
