We are aware of them, but do not have solutions that don't cause other issues. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[2.1.8] Train GUI flashing with mulitple no path trains to one station

Post by Kibb99 »

I have a no path alert for 7+ trains attempting to go to a station that is on a different rail network.
The GUI is rapidly flashing - it should not be

The start of the video, the bottom of the GUI repeatedly flashes in a consistent pattern (likely when the trains are trying to path), then at the end of the video a train gets dispatched to a different station that it can reach and the flashing stops.

I was able to reproduce it in a separate save and it seems to require the trains to have a same named station that they can reach (maybe?)

1. Have an unreachable station with the same name as a reachable station
2. Have multiple trains trying to go to that station
3. The reachable station is full/can not accept more but the unreachable station is still requesting trains
4. Flashing GUI

Hope this makes sense and was enough information to help! (I'll try to check back in case there are any questions for me to answer)

Thanks for the report. This is technicaly working correctly. It's not a desirable way for it to work - so maybe someone will change it at some point - but the GUI is doing what it's supposed to be doing (showing trains in that state). It just happens they leave that state after 1 tick and so it flashes.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
