Perpetual Circuits and Relay Sensors | Rail Route | Episode 2

Continuing our look at the 1.0 release of Rail Route, a train dispatching simulator in which we have to design, build and automate a railway network, taking it from a handful of stations into a complex, bustling system! In this episode we use perpetual circuits and relay sensors to automate more of our network.
A big thank you to the developer for giving me a key so I could take an early look at the game!

18:05: Nicely explained, thanks! I've searched for an explanation for the difference between perpetual circuits and relay sensors. Now I understand: Perpetual circuits stay activated (or blocked) all the time, relay sensors trigger their signal only when a train arrives and then it goes white again, giving other signals the chance to take the track.

39:57 That doesn't happen for me, the relay won't go green after the track ahead is clear, I have to activate the ABS manually. I can't find any configuration for the relay for this either. What am I doing wrong here?

[@m0skit0]

Ok I found out why, you need the Routing Queue upgrade for that to work.

[@BdaLimey]

⁠@@m0skit0Yeah, that’s right. I actually didn’t get the Routing Queue upgrade until much later either as I initially thought it was only useful when manually dispatching.
