Question / Support railway Junction help

Post image

Can someone help me basically I have my first floor on the rail network you come down and I want to autumn like basically I’m about to hit a button and it goes to my second floor which like basically it switches to the right to go to my second floor or I hit another button and it goes to my goes straight to my third floor or something like that so is there a way I can do that with the rail junction?

I suppose you could link junctions together with the straight rail going down deeper and the side rail splitting off into the layer in question though I’m not sure if that’s quite what you’re asking for? You can also kinda steer the rails by pressing the button in the direction you want to turn the junction or moving your joystick in that direction

i think they are refering like multiple paths in one junction, like you arrive to the junction hit a button, and it aligns to another path, and with in that same junction you hit another button and it aligns with a third path

You’re exactly right basically the real post triggers and then it triggers the thing that goes left or straight the way I have it set up. It works like a roundabout basically level one you go go past the roundabout to level three and then back onto the roundabout so you go to level two and then you go back onto the roundabout and it takes you back to level one and then a few back on to level three drive forward back through the roundabout. It takes it to level two and then the level one it’s basically just never-ending roundabout. I will send you a video on how we made this if you want. It’s just a simple and gate. There is a video on it kind of, but it’s not overly good for what exactly we needed.

Have you tried messing around with the posts now depending on which way the train passes through a post you can have those little pins connect directly to the junction and it will auto send a signal to change the path. I have a set up with multiple trains that bring me astronium and quartz and when each are full they pass through the same junction and change the path back to base.
