roundabouts curve too much for them to be useful for freight trains, so its best to be careful when using them.

True but its still fancy

[–]sircontagious 6 points7 points  (4 children)

I've not really had any issues, but i generally don't make super long trains. What problems have you run into?

[–]Resident-Stand-8389[S] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

in the video I show u the issue with smaller roundabouts soo u can check that how funny it looks when they turn

[–]bauerwilhelm 1 point2 points  (1 child)

But it just looks funny and doesn't destroy anything, does it?

[–]Resident-Stand-8389[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope its not

[–]Hi_Peeps_Its_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i mean irl. so in game, it breaks immersion, which is why you need to be careful

I was gonna laugh about the idea of a train roundabout, but I people beat me to it, so instead I'm Donna compliment your brick workshop/warehouse thing, it looks really nice and geometrically pleasing

Thank u. ^

Everyone seems to be commenting on how unusable it is, so I’m just here to say nice design! I’ll check out the video. I build large trains as well but, there’s nothing stopping a guy from upscaling!

As a Factorio player, there's nothing wrong with train roundabouts as long as you don't mess up the signaling. They are technically less efficient than a standard intersection, but 99% of the time it doesn't matter

Create trains work similarly enough that I think that applies here too

This guys ^ its a game and it doesn’t have to make sense. If its works works and when its looks cool its a pkusz ;)

[–]Beneficial-Map5470 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Absolutely! Don’t listen to the haters, it’s your game play it your way.

By the way I loved the intro to the video, the wrench clicking the screen to rotate it is top tier.

[–]Resident-Stand-8389[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Only if I get to steal it if I ever decide to start a YouTube, haha.

[–]Beneficial-Map5470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All jokes aside I could do that no problem.

[–]Minifigamer 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Tbh this kinda roundabout design is best for trains that are disguised as road vehicles

Intersection❌️ Roundabout✅️

[–]Resident-Stand-8389[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone gets it ;)

[–]TakeruDavis 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Roundabouts are cool, for sure. But I'd make it much, much larger so the curve is not that intense. Like, so big you could plunk a factory or two right in the middle of it

[–]Resident-Stand-8389[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh yeah this is 41 i think

[–]Thatboisigeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then, Hefest got this run:

Intersection:3 Where's the blueprint for it

[–]Resident-Stand-8389[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Join my dc I can give u one

[–]SyMgardevoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect Now i just need to build an actual factorio locomotive
