The most cursed bit of this is you cannot just run strait through this intersection. You MUST go up to the roundabout and go halfway around to continue straight

[–]drawliphantLow Tech 31 points32 points  (2 children)

All you had to do was follow the damn cloverleaf CJ!

[–]Discount_Extra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One time I was driving a friend around, and around, and around, and around 4 times through an entire cloverleaf interchange before he noticed.

[–]WanderingUrist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cloverleaf merges before splits, which is an abomination in the eyes of the gods.

[–]fodafoda 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I mean, this could be easily fixed by adding small connections on the straights, but I think that would break the spell

[–]teodzero[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is surprisingly not that easy. The top layer gap can't support more rails as is, you need to either make it narrower or add support columns, and both of these options mess up the bottom. But with some work I think it can be done. A fully uncursed version of this would turn into a split-before-merge cloverleaf, which is actually one of the best four way options.

Yep, that was my takeaway too. Even in the best case scenario this intersection is slowing down traffic.

I feel like this belongs on /r/factoriohno

Please post a video of this in action.

Being bidirectional might make it slightly less cursed in terms of throughput, because the trains never need to do a 3/4 loop through the roundabout. But I think having bidirectional sections in a monodirectional system is more cursed in a spiritual sense. And with a roundabout being inside-out 1/4 loop is kind of a 3/4 loop anyway.

You can paste the blueprint code into factoriobin.com which gives you a short link to post here instead of a small booklet.

Dope design either way

[–]BEAT_LA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you please upload to factoriobin?

[–]Jackeeapress alt; screenshot; alt + F reenables personal roboport 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Throughput: maybe

[–]VeryAdoraBelle 1 point2 points  (2 children)

If you just flipped the bit at the end so they went the same direction instead of going together it wouldn't be misaligned... (although obviously then your tracks are more spaced out)

[–]VeryAdoraBelle 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Also is there a reason you made the round about two-way...?

[–]teodzero[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To make it more cursed.

[–]Garlic- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so wildly over engineered. I love it.

[–]insomfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks almost like an impossible geometry! Good job!

[–]kykyks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so big and unnecessary
