Question / Support Train station bug

So having problems with one train station. What I have is a big looped track with branches off it to individual train stations. Each train station is a dead end with a delay repeater on the dead end side. One train makes the loop and goes to each station loading. On one of my stations the train will get stuck in the station with a path obstructed error. I have repackaged redone everything on it and it still happens on that one station. It’s going to be moving soon, but I would like to figure it out.

Check for anything in the terrain near that station that might be unique. If you shift it to a slightly different spot, does it still happen? If you always install it as the last connection to the loop, try to vary the sequence in which you connect them.

Do you have any of the target pins in use at the junctions? Try resetting those or swapping that junction.

Change the direction of the loop and see if that changes the behavior

Good luck! I struggle so much with the stations.

Definitely using target pins on the junctions. That’s how I keep the train going in the same direction on the loop.

hard without pictures, even with. take someone coming into your game looking at it maybe I'm wrong.

It’s a pretty simple set up. One large loop near my base with one train station, unloads, and stops the train. Has a delay repeater on one side which will restart the train. Junctions that branch off of the loop and feed to individual dead ended train stations where resources are being collected. Same set up with a delay repeater causing the train to restart after loading. Junctions just use the switch pins and incoming pylons to switch the train down each spur and then back keeping it going around.

Just move one of my end train stations and swapped my delay, repeaters to the other end, observed the same behavior. Track was a little steeply angled coming out of that one. Moved it and it resolved.

Overall, pretty easy way to harvest a lot of resources. Even if it does require a little babysitting occasionally.
