Locking track in holding mode sending carts back
ajwalters95 opened this issue · 16 comments
When a redstone signal is applied it is sending the cart back in the direction it came from instead of boosting it along in the direction it was heading. As far as I can tell this isn't how its supposed to work.
I'm using Railcraft version 9.6.1.0
I can confirm this very issue with railcraft version 9.8.0.0 in the pack FTB infinity evolved. Makes impossible to automate and signal control separated carts.
Regarding the ,,Makes impossible to automate and signal control separated carts'' -> use pulses to send the carts on their way. To do that, you could use a detector right under the holding track (pointing up into the track)
@SamDiego, @ajwalters95 see this: https://youtu.be/9WLMqT5mZPs
It doesn't matter, the problem is when the cart doesn't need to stop, it goes back like in the video ajwalters95 sent.
I never found a solution. I had to find another way to automate the system which is a shame because I was trying to focus on using Railcraft.

I had to make a overcomplicated one way loop for 2 carts, thankfully locomotives seems fine to automate.
Well that works when the cart has permission to go but what if you need to hold it to avoid a collision? The detector would make it go always..
@SamDiego well, use an and gate. Or some other contraption to interrupt the incomming signal between carts. I have another video how this could be done. I'm sure the redstone is terribly bulky and over complicated. Feel free to come up with something better: https://youtu.be/Am4_FjJLH7Y
Also, this is meant as a workaround. Since this is already flagged as bug-major, I expect is to be fixed in one of the next releases.
Works fine for me. I just tested with the same version, single chestcart on a flat piece of track. Can you describe your setup? Maybe post a screenshot?
I'll do you one better. I recorded this and threw it on Youtube.
As you see from the video, it works right at the start but then it won't let the cart pass going the other way. This leads me to believe that I am doing something wrong but I can't seem to figure out what.
I am using it in a modpack... Could that be the issue?
Oh, I see where the issue is. If you don't deactivate the redstone signal, this happens. So as a quick fix, just make sure to turn off the signal, once the cart is on it's way.
And maybe this will be fixed in a future version.
The same happens to me in 9.7.0.0. This bug prevents from making carts (without locomotive) be controllable like in Forecaster's tutorial about keeping trains apart (as carts without loco won't continue from locking track in locking mode and holding mode is bugged).
Hi there everyone!
I just stumbled upon this bug when trying to setup an automated system.
I am playing with Bevo's Modpack atm, which uses Railcraft 9.12.2.0.
Is this bug fixed in more recent versions?
