Ideas for 2.0 intersections

i got factorio to run on my android phone using termux and box86 (64bit version of box64) but with cpu graphics it ran at like 5fps and hardware accelerated graphics was a little bit too much pain to setup so i gave up

Unless it's a sufficientley megabase then you need a 7800X3D and even that will lag if you get big enough.

I've spend hundreds of hours designing interchanges for the C:S community. I'll be sure to dump some double trumpet, turbine-stack, clovers, directional diamond, and DCMI interchange blueprints here.

Yup, can't wait to build a cloverleaf

I'm so disappointed that we won't be able to make a stack interchange

Isn't that kinda bad for factorio, considering trains moving opposite directions block each other?

And id say rail interchanges that uses bridges...pretty much the same though haha

This is true to a certain degree, but real life has multi-layerd overpasses and doesnt follow a grid system, so copying 1-1 wont work in a lot of cases. Not to mention they are buildt for cars so some sollutions wont even work.

juckele

1mo

The topology does work though, as long as you're willing to make it bigger.

lee1026

1mo

Only two layers in factorio, so many designs won’t work.

buwlerman

1mo

A three layer crossing can always be converted into three two layer crossings.

juckele

🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🚂

1mo

I think it should always be possible to spread out any multi-layer interchanges into just two layers.

Do you have an example of an intersection that you think we can't keep topologically equivalent while converting to two layers?

RocketmanRS

1mo

Yeah i suppose that is true, but bigger is worse no?

If your concern is space, yes.

UristMcMagma

Multi-layered overpasses are highway spaghetti, I'm not sure why you'd want to copy them

spaghetti

I mean, why do you even ask :)

you just wouldnt copy those silly

The Fake new rails mod can help with designing these more accurately. They are just graphics, but based on what we saw.

TwistedSoul21967

Haha, Circuit network go brrrr

1mo

Transport Tycoon players have been waiting for this for years. We can finally have split before merge junctions and priority merging in both directions without slowing down traffic going in the opposite direction. Though some junctions require both over and underpasses, but many can be adapted for bridges only.

For more inspiration, you can check out the OpenTTD junctionary https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Community/Junctionary/

The gold standard in junctions, interchanges, and signaling. Everybody should go to that wiki for train logistic guides.

This is my best attempt on your design on the left with the fake new trains mod. With 110x110 it seems quite big.

RocketmanRS

1mo

That's sick. Looks like you can shorten the length of the arms for left turns somehow.

janderzerstoerer

1mo

Only those turning from east-west into north-south I think. They have straight elevated rails where the others have ramps. So yes, some of them can be shortened but then we lose some symmetry (happy to be proven wrong).

janderzerstoerer

Putting the ramps for the left turns on the outside gets us to 94x94. (Fake new rails is awesome btw)

RocketmanRS

1mo

A roboport in each cloverleaf should work out great, but one in the middle could look cool...

RocketmanRS

1mo

Yes i did see that would have been better after i drew it.

Thanks to the elevated rails, now the intersections looks like the ones used in highways in Europe.

hey you know what?? :D your intersection looks li-

A clover?🍀

You could argue it's a symbol of luck too, at least the original, not the one rotated 45°

TheOnlyZiodberg

As a German. No not a clover.

The arms in OP's picture go to the left, not to the right as it was 80 years ago.

Still, I noticed too...

Cloverleaf interchange when?

Abadayos

1mo

Sooo your designing transport tycoon Felix rail mergers and overpasses that we did back in the late 90’s?

Seriously though, a lot of the designs can be carried over from TTD with the only changes realistically being spacing and how the rail geometry works regarding corners and curves. I’m really looking forward to it honestly

Gonna be like car cloverleafs on highways.

Great minds think alike, well done mate.

If you are interested in what a scale/spacing correct version of this looks like, check out the post I made a few months back.

Your intersection is great, looks like it takes less space. I like to maxemise symetry

Is the one on the left inspired from Germany?

Also, I think that one should be too the right

Do upper lvl rails need to interact with normal ones bellow it ? General question about the new rails .

Baer1990

For the right one I'd make one cross over the other first, of the S-E and S-W rails. Bit more symmetry

Roundabouts are just so convenient though ...

Well yes this is true and yes I said it like an asshole, I think anyone who drove through an exchanger just knows how to build one (while I don't have a real life experience with perfect ratio blueprints)

spoonman59

Imagine someone is so excited to design and use interchanges, and your only point is “who cares, I drive intersections so it is boring.”

Like it’s factorio. A game. A puzzle. We aren’t solving real problems, we are amusing ourselves. And different people like to optimize different parts be it throughput, space, power, UPS.

It’s not like you aren’t allowed to post or play unless your solution is novel. People can be excited by a spaghetti starter base, or figuring out intersections.

Someone has to make the blueprint for the game.
