Think about how your words affect others before saying them.Р”В®xplain your screenshots Take a screenshot (or a video), not a picture/recording with your phone. Every post must be about Factorio or of content you have made that is directly inspired by Factorio (such as fan art). If you want to post about other things, there are subreddits for that. This is a subreddit for the game Factorio. This should enclose the crossing as its own block, and each branch coming out as their own.Factorio has never in many years had a sale, is currently not on sale, and is not expected to ever be on sale.Р”Р‡actorio developers: 'Not having a sale ever is part of our philosophy.' One signal on both sides of each track coming out of (or going into) the cross. That's simple (and normal, for two two-way systems crossing).

So the only issue is where the two tracks meet in the middle of the cross. First train is 3 units long 2nd is 6 units long.Р”Вoing a quote on your post, it looks like it's more of just a big cross.

#FACTORIO TRAIN SIGNALS HOW TO#

It is pretty simple if it was one direction from A - D to B-c, but i cant figure out how to signal for both direction. Problem is i am trying to avoid collision at intersection x. So one train loops between A and D while 2nd loops between B and c. If single direction is the way to go then i will make changes but if intersections in 2 way is possible i could use some help. Most of them tell to avoid using a 2 way track. Originally posted by mOj:Hi i am fairly new to game and learned most from tutorials and online videos. You can technically make 2-ways work for a while but it will rapidly become problematic in term of throughput as you add more trains. In that case, put a standard rail signal at the entrance for each side (after the branching) and a chain signal before they merge again.

This means that there should be no standard rail signals except for the incoming side right before a train stop (at least a train length between the signal and the train stop).Р”Тђ/ If you want to 'break' the chain signals to allow more than one train at a time to travel, you need a short 'exchanger' where 2 1-way rails replace the 2-ways portion for at least a full train length. When you use 2-ways rails, you need to add a few important rules:Р”В¤/ All parts that are 2-ways except right around train stops should be treated exactly like an intersection. A set of two 1-way rails is definitely the way to go when you start increasing the amount of trains you are using.Р”В«asically, there is a set of 'rules' that allow you to easily do signals for those:Р”РЋ/ In long stretches without intersections, have standard rail signals at regular intervals (to allow multiple trains to follow each others since they are going in the same direction).Р”Сћ/ Right before intersections (for the incoming rails) and through the whole intersection, use chain signals.Р”Р€/ Right after an intersection (for the outgoing rails), use standard rail signals.Р”Р€b/ If the next intersection is too close to fit a whole train between the two intersections, treat both intersections as a single one (do not put standard rail signals in between but chain signals instead).
