Thanks. I watched several other videos that did a terrible job of explaining the signals. You nailed it. Got all my stuff working immediately after watching :)

THANK YOU. you are the first person to explain this in a way i can understand. I couldn't figure out how to put in the path signals to make a though put on my intersections.

my pleasure Jasen. It was something that took me a while to get my head around as well and I am glad that it helped you

Truly fantastic video and extremely easy to follow. I wouldn't consider myself a Satisfactory novice but trains... trains scare me. This video is going to help me immensely!

Really great explanation thanks. Trains are a bit daunting for me. But this gives me the confidence to start a train network.
@DrLootCrate Жыл бұрын
Awesome to hear! There is a lot of track to lay, but you only have to do it once. You can always just add more trains. It is worth the investment

would this cause colisions if the trains are longer that the intersection?
@DrLootCrate5 ай бұрын
Nope. It doesn’t let the next train go until it clears the intersection. If you put multiple of these intersections closer together than the length of your trains, you could have issues

Hello ! Brilliant video, thanks a lot, i stumbled across a video of "Amelie of the sea" (some times ago) where she explain how to do a 4 way intersection (without as much details as this one) but without crossing. Could you do a video of that kind of intersection like this one ? So I/we'll able to replicate it easier ? :D :D Keep up the good work though, it's nice to watch your videos ! ;)

I think I know the video that you are talking about. Like a cloverleaf intersection on a freeway. I would have to figure it out myself first, but I will put it on the list of ideas. Glad you liked the video!

It should be noted that you're not going up 3 and over 3 foundations. You're going up and over 2.5 foundations.
@DrLootCrate Жыл бұрын
That is an excellent point and consider it noted. Particularly since this is something that requires precision. I have always thought of it as 3x3 because that is how many foundations to put down, but you are correct
@johnrtrucker Жыл бұрын
Do you still have collisions from time to time if two trains cross the same point at the same time?
@DrLootCrate Жыл бұрын
Nope. Not if you signal the intersection like I have it in this vid. I have a ton of trains running hundreds of hours and never had a crash

Is there a difference between a 4 Way Intersection and a roundabout?
@DrLootCrate Жыл бұрын
Yep. A roundabout is where all of the train enter the same strip of circular track and then exit towards their desired destination. 4-way intersection is like a road junction with four stop signs or yields. These are much easier to build and signal properly, take up less room, and don’t gridlock as easy as roundabouts. Roundabouts look cool though! 😎
@MrHaggyy Жыл бұрын
I use roundabout when the entries and exits come at an angle other than 90°. You can also build a big 0 when more than 4 roads cross each others. When you use path signals in and block signals out it works fine.
@Mishn0 Жыл бұрын
Is there a mod that allows you to put more than one junction at a switch? I thought the game didn't allow that?
@rellify3 Жыл бұрын
The game lets you do one-to-many (e.g. a "Y"), but it doesn't let you do many-to-many (e.g. an "X"). Edit: and if you look closely at the intersection in this video, the switches all respect that principle.
