[CANCELLED] creating a rail intersection test bed

Post by impetus maximus »

[UPDATE] i'm no longer doing this at the moment. see this thread for intersection maps. [/UPDATE]

i've been meaning to do this for a few months now, but haven't sat down to do it proper.

i hope to make a set of test worlds (0.15.*) to stress test/debug intersections. mainly 4 ways but can work for 3 way as well.
it will have a number of trains going to, and coming from each direction. if you know a way to layout the trains/stations
to increase the chance of dead locks (we want worst case scenarios) for the intersections, do speak up.

i want to compile a list of the most popular track spacing, and loco/wagon combos people use. it will start with 2 way (1 track each way)
and move up to double 2 way. trains will include double headed and one way trains.

please list what track spacing, number of lanes each way, and what loco/wagon setups you use.

aaargha has made a thread (now stickied) about intersections. we need a good test bed though!

For me LLCCCC on 2-spaced rails (4 tiles between them), one lane in each direction. You coud add LCC (for smaller networks).

Please add LCCC as well on the same rail setup.

Aaargha is actually making a good test bed as you can read in his comments. He'll make it available when he finished.
Since he has much more experience doing this and got a confidence boost now that his thread is stickied, I suggest you to wait a few days for him to finish.

Has anyone ever played with CCCCLL trains?

As far as I understand, they're functionally identical to LLCCCC.
