In my case, I achieved the goal already without waypoint stations back in 0.16. It just required leaving the train's full braking distance between stations so they wouldn't slow down at each one (with 1-2 ratio trains, that is about 120 tiles). I had been hoping that with 0.17 I would be able to mak...

I'd also prefer knightelite's second option, as the first would make waypoints less useful in heavily combinator controlled train systems. Speaking from experience, I may be a bit biased... Definitely why I started looking into this as well, I was thinking "Hey, I can shrink these blueprints d...

Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought it was possible in 0.16 to change the station in a schedule. Is this functionality that was lost in 0.17 with the new GUI or am I just insane? You can add a new station, delete an old one and rearrange the ordering (which you could do in 0.16 as well), but what he wan...

Kovarex, do you have any thoughts as to which way you're leaning for fixing this one? Is it going to be "waypoints are struck from schedule as soon as braking distance passes them" or is it going to be that turning off a waypoint prior to the train physically passing it will immediately ca...

Agreed, it would be way more beneficial as a global setting. I spent a while looking through all the settings to be able to enable it, and then had to resort to google to find out it was a map setting. Also makes it annoying to enable on old maps, as it requires a console command that disables achi...

Appears to be the same thing as this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=68047

Seems to be the same issue as in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=68148

I just tested it; you can get to full speed with nuclear fuel manually driving backwards.

So I continued investigating this some more, and I'm not sure if farcast positioned his signals where he did on purpose, or it just lucked out that way, but I think I've figured out the current behavior. Demonstrated in this video with pause mode showing the exact ticks where the difference in behav...

This behavior may have changed; I was able to find a difference in behavior since the last time I did the test. See here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=68145 EDIT: Interestingly, it hasn't. I just ran farcast's blueprint, and it behaves exactly like in his gif in0.17.16, but th...

What I did: Send a train to a waypoint station via the GUI (I tested via the train departing based on normal departure conditions, and it occurs then too). What happened: The train GUI still shows the waypoint station as the next stop, even though the train has passed it. When the train slows down (...

I'm interested to see what's up this one, as it relates to some things I wanted to do with waypoint stations as well.

I haven't checked your save yet since I'm not at home currently, but does the train ever turn right from the intersection shown? Perhaps there's a signaling issue or something there that causes it to only be able to turn left when leaving the InternBase stop?

It's still a bug, it's just a different bug. Trains should not attempt to path to stations outside their network just because there is a disabled station with the same name within their network. I think this one comes up so that you become aware of an issue if you accidentally deconstruct a rail to...

I agree that this one may be intended behavior, and I also figured it was the difference on whether the train was stopping before or in the segment of rail. Looking more closely at my screenshots here, you're right that one can actually see that the train braking point is past the rightmost signal o...

I believe this is NaB:

Seems so, thanks! I even did a search, but somehow didn't find that one.

I was testing ways to detect which branch of an intersection a train came from, and I noticed this inconsistency in signal behavior depending on where a signal is placed. Scenario 1, signals are one tile apart: https://i.imgur.com/jxxW1kU.jpg The leftmost signal in both cases is yellow; behavior is ...

I thought I had this happen to me too, but it was because I had a station with the same name in a different rail network. Thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=67619

Do you have a station with the same name as the disabled station active in a disconnected rail network?

What I did: Made a blueprint of a train that had automatic set to on. Blueprint contained only trains, fuel and rails. The train blueprinted had a valid schedule. Made a copy of the train via the blueprint, and set it a few tiles back from the next station in the blueprinted train's schedule. What d...

Confirmed this was an invalid bug report, this should be removed.
