Introduction
Some people create Malls while others like optimizing the science. For some reason, it's the train network that inspired me. I wanted something that was drop-in (i.e. blueprints) but also easily upgraded as the base evolves. This means some sort of standardization with the pieces being of a similar size, at least along the rail itself.
Also important was performance. Trains make up the life-blood of a base and its important that they flow quickly and freely. Everything I've done is optimized for that, from the signals along the rails to the loading & unloading stations.
Blueprint Changelog
V5 blueprints are completely incompatible with all previous versions, and with Factorio 1.x as well. V5 is for Factorio 2.x only.
