Ok, so how the hell do I set up my tracks and semaphores by the large custom houses so that I can have three trains coming and going on a two-track main system without jamming each other to hell?

I haven't actually played the game, but would this work?

This is sort of what I've been trying to do, but there doesn't seem to be any consistency to if the trains switch tracks to a vacant one if the first one is busy. Maybe I just have to fiddle around more with distances between splits and semaphores vs custom house.
Ouch. Ok that's bad. I was worried the game wouldn't allow you to make trains wait before the intersection if all platforms were occupied but it sounds like the game needs to add some fairly basic signal behavior if they can't even figure out which spots are available.

Is the distance people are willing to walk on footpaths long enough that they could walk to a heating plant without breathing in coal smoke?

Is it possible to import enough garbage that you can feed your industry on the recycled materials rather than digging them out of the ground? :v:
