The creeping horror for other players is making them zoom in to realise the scale of the thing. Its a long time to traverse even with rocket trains and go fast legs.
Edit: I should have included a picture of one of the cells for scale
Occasionally I’d get jams. The jams would manifest with a train sat occupying the corner, so i put a circuit in each one that sets off an alarm after 60 seconds of being continuously blocked. Then I’d investigate.
Generally, given that my stations only became available if they had > 1.0wagonscapacity*stacksize the trains mostly sat in “parking” waiting or at “parking” nearer the raw resource in the far outposts.
It required a little tuning, some modules have a lead-in perimeter loop where 5-6 trains can be stacked waiting to unload.
In 1.0 I played bobs+angels and ran on a 100 square cell structure
In 2.0 I’ve still only done vanilla, but I went with a 200 square cell this time for bigger trains.
My only regret is exploring south and not east or west

Isn’t a pure square grid inefficient, because trains get stuck? That happened to my square grid megabases, so I stopped doing them.
