OTTD - Fail-Safe Cyclotrons with & without logic circuits

[@ivanalaskevich4736]

But why are you using the old version of NUTS?.. In the new versions, the balance of trains has been changed, FAST maglevs are much more powerful, perhaps a result will be different.

You're right. I am using NUTS 0.7.8 and I use it because I like how the trains look in this version. These trains have been removed from newer versions. Double engines give enough power to accelerate efficiently. Thnx for watching and comment 👍💗

[@ivanalaskevich4736]

@@jewoGRFS Hmm… have you tried BRIX and a standalone version of PURR? A non-obvious thing, if you install PURR+NUTS, universal rails and signals will get 32-bit graphics.

[@jewoGRFS]

Yes, I did but somehow I like those particular engines. I use, from time to time, different sets but this one suits me best.

That is an excellent idea. Thank you. 🙂

[@jewoGRFS]

Thank you !💗

Should it work on other configurations? Tried it on 11 tile vanilla trains and the train turns at the last moment due to fail-safe. The copy of the cyclotron from the video works, but any change breaks something.

[@jewoGRFS]

This solution, as it is in the video, will not work with trains of other lengths. You have to adjust the size of the loop as well as other connections to the length of the trains you use. If you are using different length trains on the same tracks, then no, this solution should not work efficiently. Right now, I don't have enough information to advise anything. If you have a google drive you can provide a link to the game-save file. Then I could take a look at what you have and only then I could advise what can be done. Maybe you are on Discord so you could send me private message.

​@@jewoGRFS , the problem was actually in one single signal, which was hard to notice - I used the exit instead of the combo signal, so all the cyclotron won't work and it seemed like it was something wrong with train lenght. After I replaced it, everything worked. In any case, thanks for the reply.

[@jewoGRFS]

I am surprised that it work with trains 11TL :) Keep in mind, however, that cyclotrons are not very good with a very heavy traffic on main line.
