Rail nodes with more angles

I wanna place some long rail with slanted angle, but for now I can only place right angle rail nodes.

I would like we can place rail node and they will rotate to the direction the character is looking at. (Like sign)

commented

hmm,,, Signs have 16 different rotations, the old rail nodes in the 1.10 version of the mod have 8 but I don't know how that should be done. Also now that there's S-bends do we need diagonals?

Yes we need. Imagine if we want to make a station with non-straight platforms, we can't just use right angle rail or it might be strange. Or we need to have a switch rail between a diagonal rail, that's a lot of reason for rails with more angles. And the most important, to make rails more realistic.

If 16 directions aren't enough, can we use brush to set more angles?

I don't understand what purpose angled rail nodes provides. I hope we aren't trying to turn this mod into a Rollercoaster mod!

Don't get overthinking, I just want to make some of rail system more realistic like this:

An random example I picked

(This picture is from wikipedia)

As you see, the station rail is almost slightly curved, which is what the right rail can't build.

Also other mods also supports rails with more angles such as Immersive Railroading and Real Train Mod (It even support tilting rails!). So why not?

I really don't understand what you are asking for. The current version of MTR has curved rails.

commented

Oh I think I do. You want the nodes to be able to have more than 4 angles

Yes that's what I need.

Yeah I made university with its curved platform and big gap, I used armour stands to rotate the blocks.

Yes, I get what you mean. Any more than 16 rotations and lets just say I mightn't be able to use the mods anymore ๐Ÿ˜‰
