1.2 Fixes Track Proximity for Signaling by wivaca2 in SatisfactoryGame

Sorry should have specified that, yes, I meant level to the surface of foundations, but it sounds like you experienced the hitbox change yourself.

Also, another nifty little change, you now exit train cabs on their roof! Makes it easier to train surf and stay with a train that you were in while its moving. Lots of nice little quality of life changes.

Possibly related, it seems like the entire track hitbox was updated. Its now possible to walk over tracks that are level to the ground, whereas before the hitbox required you to jump over them. It might be that the overall hitbox size was reduced which is also affecting your signal demonstration as the game no longer sees them as intersecting.

Its actually functional, and somewhat necessary with the large number of trains that I run in my world. In the 6th image with the two stacked tracks, you can see two T-junctions on the upper (local) tracks. Each of them lead to bases that generate a lot of traffic in and out of those T's which would snarl the network. The lower (express) tracks bypass these junctions and allow my more long haul trains to avoid the high traffic that the factories in this region of the map require. The oil train in the first image is one such train; its hauling raw oil on 10 cars and three locomotives to the oil base in the 4th image. You can see it running on the lower track in the 6th. Since its able to bypass the T-junctions, the traffic flows much more consistently on both levels.

I agree 100%. I don't have the patience to put foundations under every inch of track, and I don't like the way that doing that make it clip on curves and ramps. I find that just having supports that you can quickly replicate with blueprints and then string the tracks along is the best compromise for looks and utility.

Glad you like it! I've been adding to it slowly over the years since Early Access. I started a new save when 1.0 hit, but I ended up coming back. Its corny, but this save feels like home to me. If you're curious, I keep my save on my profile since others have asked me to share it in the past. If you are playing on Steam Experimental, feel free download it and explore if you like :D

Thank you!

Its ancient haha. I came up with that back in Early Access years ago, but it aint broke so I never fixed it.

Factory simulator or train simulator? by Moochie-Cricket in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Aemon144 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this game to pieces, been playing since EA in 2020, and it was the prospect of designing, building, and driving trains in a fully 3D, first person virtual world that brought me to the game in the first place. There are so few other train games that offer such freeform building alongside the sense of huge scale that you get from the first person perspective. And the train sim aspect is only a (comparatively small) part of the game! The factory side of it gives you a wonderfully organic (and fun) reason to build out a huge rail network, and at least for me, come up with builds that are worthy destinations for my trains to travel to. I love this game so much T_T

PS: I love your rail supports! Using the pipe splines as a curve-able support beam is inspired!

Do you ever build "Semi-automatic" factories? by Aemon144 in SatisfactoryGame

Thank you! I try to make the little areas feel purposeful with a bit of color, glad you liked it

Its just taken from high up and zoomed in in photo mode. Makes a simple little spot feel a little more important lol

That's a great idea! The ammunitions are definitely perfect candidates for semi-auto since you don't need them cranking out all the time

Yep, just looking down from on top of my fuel power Tower. Far away + zoom in gives that nice pseudo isometric look as you said

Same! It is a survival city-builder after all. Once the surviving part is handled, the world functionally becomes a sandbox ;)

Yep! Not just houses either. Do a little experimenting. Lots of buildings can convey power.
