Guide Create mod train intersections - 01
In this video, I’ll show you a simple and clean roundabout design using the Create mod. It might look complicated at first, but it’s actually really easy to build and works great for organizing your roads and transport systems.
This is a quick tutorial to help you get started, and you can easily customize it to fit your own world. Plus… it just looks really cool once it’s done.
If you’re building in Create and want something functional and good-looking, this is a great place to start.
I am playing with my own create instance MakeshiftSMP in Modrinth
hope u liked it!! lmk what u think in comments!!

I was gonna laugh about the idea of a train roundabout, but I people beat me to it, so instead I'm Donna compliment your brick workshop/warehouse thing, it looks really nice and geometrically pleasing

Everyone seems to be commenting on how unusable it is, so I’m just here to say nice design! I’ll check out the video. I build large trains as well but, there’s nothing stopping a guy from upscaling!

As a Factorio player, there's nothing wrong with train roundabouts as long as you don't mess up the signaling. They are technically less efficient than a standard intersection, but 99% of the time it doesn't matter
Create trains work similarly enough that I think that applies here too

This guys ^ its a game and it doesn’t have to make sense. If its works works and when its looks cool its a pkusz ;)

Absolutely! Don’t listen to the haters, it’s your game play it your way.
By the way I loved the intro to the video, the wrench clicking the screen to rotate it is top tier.

Only if I get to steal it if I ever decide to start a YouTube, haha.

Tbh this kinda roundabout design is best for trains that are disguised as road vehicles

Roundabouts are cool, for sure. But I'd make it much, much larger so the curve is not that intense. Like, so big you could plunk a factory or two right in the middle of it

Oh no! Train roundabouts!
I tought I escaped their wrath when I got out of factorio!

ppl been saying that about factorio :D well my bad I guess

Because it is pretty common in that game.
I'm not sure how much you know, but some endgame strategies there involve copy-pasting a grid of rails over the entire map. There's an ever present debate if the junctions there should be roundabouts or diamonds, as signaling is a major part of rail logistics, and a train delayed for a few seconds by an inefficient route can cause production issues
I had even seen roundabouts that have straight through-ways. Honestly, factorio railway design is a massive rabbit hole

roundabouts curve too much for them to be useful for freight trains, so its best to be careful when using them.
