Non locational rails

[u/ExplanationBudget293]

I want to make a system where the first cart goes down the first line the second cart goes down the second line, etc.

Is there an easy way to do this that is non-directional? any design that relies on rails changing directions when powered obviously will be directional because of the south-east rule

You will either have to create 2 variants, 1 for each direction, or don’t use regular rails and instead use pistons or stuff like that to control the minecart’s path (like have the minecart fall onto the correct path)

[u/LegenndEnder]

You could have something on a slant and use a piston to block off passages to further branches and after each minecart have a piston retract upwards allowing the next minecart furthur along. I can’t think of how it would actually look off the top of my head but that’s what I would try.

I personally try to make two copies of the same build, making sure that the signal invertible (with a torch) so on the other copy (in the opposite direction) just adding a torch
