Talk:Train Signals

Proposed paragraph
I proposed to add this paragraph to the Tips section:

With block signals, two trains can enter a block at the exact same time and collide. This might be considered a bug. It is generally possible (and intended) to organize your track so that path signals, and not block signals, are used whenever there are multiples entries into a block.

Got the reply "need verifiable proof as this is a pretty major claim". So here are two sources for this claim:

1. The same page already contains a paragraph starting with "WARNING" which mentions the same problem. My point of repeating the information in the "Tips" section is to clarify that the claim made there, "Collisions generally shouldn't happen if any signals are in place. Gridlocks may occur instead", is not quite correct.

2. https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/62ad0e51ca608e0803514f86 with a save file that shows the problem.


 * Thanks for backing this up! I moved the collision issues into a Current issues section and linked the QA site post as reference. Let me know if it fits or needs further adjustments. --Ondar111 (talk) 10:19, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
