Invalid Train Stop Locations

Post by paddington101 »

Hi, was just playing in 2.0 and using the new rails. Had an error where I can only place stops on one side of the new (straight) rails, and attempts to put them on the other side are met with a floating error message:

I placed the stop you can see by copying from a train stop I had elsewhere (this was on legacy rails, which work fine).

PS. This is a save file from before 2.0; I'm not sure if that could be the cause.

Thanks for the report however that is a Not a bug.

This specific case happens when you have signals on one of the sides of a rail and you want to build train stop on the other side. Game recognizes that you want to build train stop on the wrong side when there is no point of doing that since trains will not be able to arrive due to blocking signals and prevents you from doing that.
