  A whole city block dedicated to centrifuges is wild! 😄😄  Good job none the less 👏

  Use chain signals on entrances to intersections to reduce gridlock risk even further

  Good video! Trains are quite confusing for me as I’m pretty new, but it seems like their logic is pretty fine tuned in factorio

  I have noticed few potential problems or things that may be improved:<br>1) Intersections and railway:<br> &nbsp;a) intersections dount utilise chain signals. Should be at &quot;inputs&quot; and some inners<br> &nbsp;b) railway is too tight (2? blocks free inside)<br> &nbsp;c) roundabounts: (you dont use) they have their problems and advantages also, like without them all outer city blocks are rather problematic,<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; since trains there can be unable to find path. Roundabounds solves this, also adding ability of taking train_stop directly from it *<br> &nbsp;update: at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=860">14:20</a> you described that<br>2) roboports inside CB. It uses space inside and drastically descreases design flexibility (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=92">1:32</a>)<br>3) train stations not using load/unload circuit(logic) balancer<br>4) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=60">1:00</a> splitting whole ore to all train stops equally will cause all 4 trains wait very long with such low throughput, even if only ine train needs stone, all 4 must fill. At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=295">4:55</a> you described same btw<br>5) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=101">1:41</a> in addition to lack of load balaner, you taking RSS directly from that buffer via robots, making it more unbalanced, so train will fill slower (because only 3-4 inserters will work when all 6 could)<br>6) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=114">1:54</a> copper cables are used only in few massive crafts, so can be made inside same CB, espcially when can be made via EM plants or Foundries<br>7) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=127">2:07</a> why so many belt lines? You should really check IO ratios and belt througput. Since with not-full output belts, input ones are barely moving<br>8) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=158">2:38</a> LAB massive production is wild. You wont need this in such amounts, few assemblers in a MALL is more than enough for CB expansion<br>9) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=176">2:56</a> same as above, its wild lol<br>10) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=442">7:22</a> water via trains is insane and genious at a same time. But it could be better to build water-needing recipies neer to water and just route pipes<br>11) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=555">9:15</a> consider making nuclear fuel for trains<br>12) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=765">12:45</a> that parking feature (Depo) can be made in other way: Interrupt: when destination station is unreachable, go to depo, without wait condition, so it will cycle that interrupt until station is opened again<br><br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfRXT0ecmX8&amp;t=187">3:07</a> [double stations] its genious. Such train unload is really nice idea. Just add unload logical balancer.<br><br>If you are interested, you can find my blueprints at factorio prints site.<br>Hope this comment will be helpfull

  Nice citiblocks. But... <br><br>1. Make the blueprint grid aligned. I guess it is 100x100. Shift+click in blueprint settings to set a center. Adjust absolute grid by trying to place the blueprint and pressing Ctrl+arrows.<br><br>2. Chain signal before intersection, normal signal after. You don&apos;t want a train waiting on an intersection.

  I like a block train system also but :-) &nbsp;I offset each row so the intersections are a &quot;T&quot; &nbsp;instead of a crossroads. &nbsp;Seems to have less conflicts.
