    HOLY FUCK I AM SO FUCKING HARD

    …small concern though: I currently use the rail planner a lot, usually to map out how I want my outposts to look at long distances. If the rail planner, particularly shift + click, is actively looking for rails to snap to, I hope it won’t greedily try to snap to rails I don’t want it to. I’m sure the devs already have this considered, but I just want to make sure that if I have multi-layer train crossings, and I’m trying to plan them out before I actually build them, that I’m able to path out rails behind an elevated rail without the rail planner assuming I want the rail to connect to the elevated rail. I hope that won’t be an annoying issue.

      Rails are amazing and I don’t even fully utilize them with all the cool logic stuff you can do.

      They get rid of so much clutter when done right.

    Between this and the new more flexible curves rail spaghetti is going to be off the chain!

      I think they said you can’t interact with trains on elevated rail at all, un/loading works only on ground level.

        Fine with me. Dyspon sphere program does the whole build up instead of out thing and I don’t like it as much. I think satisfactory started the trend though.

          Me too, wish it was for making game play easier instead of an arbitrary game play mechanic that forces you to play a certain way. I am happy that factorio is very easily mod able, and you can install mods that expand or remove limits on players.
