- two parallel tracks, lets say it is horizontal, then we have the upper and the lower track.
- the distance between the tracks is exactly one track (two tiles).
- Now try to place a train stop. It is not possible to place a signal, if
--- you come with the cursor from top (above both tracks) and want to place the signal on the upper track into right direction,
--- you come with the cursor from down and want to place the signal on the lower track into left direction


But it is possible to place a blueprint including a train stop. Once the blueprint is set, I can place also the real train stop instead.

I can't reproduce it.

Does it help if you attempt to rotate it?

I managed to reproduce this after monkeying around with tracks and signals and then realizing that ssilk was talking about train spots.

The problem is the cursor skips positions (snaps to a grid?) depending on whether you move the cursor from the top or from the bottom.

I can make an animated gif showing this when I get home, if necessary.

In the following screenshoots I move the mouse slowly from top to down. Every time the screen changes I make a pic.

Ssilk use your rotate key in this scenario.

Ahhhrggglglgl... I was so used to this autorotating, that I didn't came to the idea to rotate it myself.

Somebody should take the time and make a super tutorial level. With ALL the tips and tricks.

And we should praise him, because he would became God of Factorio.

Quite good idea, but useless, cause there will be so much changes withing the next year, that it needs to be changed about every 2 weeks.
