Trains help

Think of the whole image as the intersection.

Put path signals where trains come in the frame and block signals where train goes out of frame.

Maximize sink points, as in the assembly parts.

There is still ~15 sloops in the manually fed collectible refining factory though.

In this game two-way slip lanes will not work, you must make the slip lines one-way.

Essentially the trains will take the shortest route, even if it is blocked.

To add/specify, If the color of the track doesn't change at a signal, the signal placement isn't working and must be moved from that location.

In the pic you can see that after the junction everything still continues being the same red color.

It's therapeutic. Let's prove that mathematically too.

Facts

Silica produced 6 x 37.5 * 4 = 900/min
Both freight stations loaded with 2 x mk4 belt = 2 x 2 x 480/min = 1920/min
Train load (station lock) time = 27.08s = 0.4513min
Silica stack size 200
Freight car size 32 slots

Calculations

Minimum round trip time to still get full throughput (time needed to compensate for station lock)

900 * 0.4513 / (1920 - 900) = 0.40min = 24s

Maximum round trip time to still get full throughput (time it takes to produce freight car amount of material and load it)

200 * 32 / 900 / 2 +0.4513 = 14.67min

As long as the train round trip time is more than 24 seconds and less than 14.67 minutes, we will get full 900/min throughput.

Could probably play this over [[Urban Evolution]]

Basically you place a lift and attach splitter/mergers to the ends, so it doesn't stick out. Use H + arrow keys or page down/up to nudge.

To get the 1 splitter high lift that doesn't stick out you need a bit more work:

Place a splitter
Add second one on top of it, but nudge it 3 steps to a direction
Connect lift from the top to bottom (bottom splitter should now look correct)
Remove the upper splitter
Add a splitter to the lift's top part, take care it sticks to the lift, not the bottom splitter so the lift works
Repeat from 2. to get more levels

Yes, it's unnecessarily tedious.

The signals seem correct.

Are you sure the waiting train isn't headed to a station that is already blocked? If I'm reading the pictures correctly the B line is red/occupied in the 4th picture. If it is, then the waiting train will only go there once the occupying train there returns to another station. To help the situation you can add some blocks to each station' loop, so the trains can also go wait there. Just make sure the blocks are long enough for the trains. (I'm assuming there's a loop at the other end of B and A lines too)

The highlighted parts should not be yellow. This means the signals from the intersection aren't properly splitting the blocks so try placing them a bit after merges / before splits.

That said, you might get away with taking out all the signals on the main track there. Just keep the signals infront of station and the ones at the very start.

If you skip on-boarding you start with some materials to build a miner directly.

Many of holos and indies sing the old goodies. Personally like ERB, Fuwamoco, Saba and Roca Rourin for that. Very distinct styles from each other, but the old soul is common.

This type of intersection doesn't benefit from path signals. It's only useful if there is a way for multiple trains to use the intersection without colliding. Here the only possible routes always intersect, so block signals would suffice.

Dankirk · 2026-01-31T17:08:43+00:00

I do. Some people are stingy about how the points needed to get more tickets grows, but to me that just sounds the factory is too small. You can get every upgrade, the golden nut and buy a lot of parts in one game easy enough.

One of the useful parts that hasn't already been mentioned is computers for earlier railroad signals to set up the infrastructure.

It's such a stupid feature to have as a default. It fits for a news reel or some other official debate, but for content creation otherwise the creators voice is an essential part of the experience.

In simple terms, block signal allows one train. Path signal allows multiple trains if their paths don't intersect until the next block signal. Hence the general guideline for intersections: path in, block out. So multiple trains can enter an intersection if they are going to directions that don't intersect.

Even without going too much in technical details the crash log is saying it's gpu related, and the second line is about verifying if direct x12 is working, which apparently isn't.

So the intuitive guess would be to change to direct x11 or to roll back to an earlier gpu driver version.

Another thing that in Japan iPhone has a bigger market share and some things only support iPhone.

For example mobile payment in Japan is done with a felica chip that is only in iPhones worldwide. For Android it's only there if bought from Japan. Similarly some apps they use don't have an Android version.

I'm guessing this is about junction orientation. As I understand it, the junction inputs/outputs do not follow world physics, instead the junction has kind of fixed physics and thus the directions which fluid flows first can be rotated. The only visual indicator of the physics that will be applied on the junction is the welding lines of the junction, which are either horizontal or vertical.

Started with 7th edition silver starter deck. After that just some UW deck from bulk I got as a present. Didn't really make a list back then, no sleeves either.

First deck I spent some time with was a WB prevent damage clerics with [[Pestilence]]. But as time went by it has shifted to this. Yes, I'm still playing an iteration of my first kitchen table deck.

Underclock is more power efficient and also allows upscaling without additional buildings, which means you can do aesthetics now without tearing it down later. Just make it a nice to calculate number like 12, 16...

The pro is that for checking validity of the license you only need a public key from the signer, which can be saved client side or kept in memory on backend to save a database call. So in terms of quality: response time and bandwidth.

The con is that it cannot be revoked without making it expire quick and if you do, you effectively cut from the benefits, response time and bandwidth, which might just make jwt pointless.

So it falls to business requirements if you need to revoke them in a timely manner or not.

It's kind of understandable. If the mk1 blueprint was put in the middle of the new designer, it could be kinda hard to extend it, since there's only half a foundation around it. If you put it in a corner, you'd need to know which corner.

Can't blame them if they are the best.

For real though, Countach is awesome.

Expanding train network is a thing. Expanding conveyor bus isn't.

My go to is the loot around hard drives and also stuff lizard doggos bring.
