Trains keep blovking each other

Post by Maddie »

Hello fellow Factorio players,
For some reason I keep running into issues regarding my trains.
Often, when I run past one of the intersections it will look like this, with trains blocking each other.
Is there any way to fix this?

Get the signals out of the circle of the intersection. Trains 1 blocks 2, train 2 blocks 3, train 3 blocks 1, and you have a deadlock because none of them have a path to get out of the intersection.

With a roundabout, you have to have only signals on the entrances and exits of your intersection for a train of any length to pass without any chances of dead locking.
Ignore this
