Factorio Forums

Hello everyone! so ive been playing factorio for awhile now and I can not for the life of me figure it out how to use the rail planner. or it wont work anyway.
Before you say it yes I know place a rail click the green arrow hover over boom! nothing! Ive searched this forum all over, nothing. I have tried a new game, reseting countless times and uninstalled the game a couple times. but this problem makes me not wanna play because its alot harder to progress with no rails. Please any ideas would help.

welcome to the forums. hold shift+click for the planner. hit R to rotate the final piece's direction.

Hello!
Unfortunately this does nothing at all.

hold shift, then click the green arrow at the end of the rail.

Still nothing at all. hold shift + left click = nothing
Also, left click only, on green arrow causes rails in hand to go into the inventory bar. and nothing from there. confusing right?

only thing i can think, is that you changed your default button configurations.

Well that was it! just reset the controls and works now. I swear I have no idea how it got changed. but whatever works now. Thank you Much appreciated! Now if you'll excuse me I have a railroad network to build.

sweet. glad to help.
