[factorio] what kind of train network do you like most? (feddit.de)

I mostly go for 1-4 trains with a two way rail network, because it has high throughput.

Right now I am playing a rail world with 1-8 trains and single rail, for the challenge.

I tried building a grid with two-lane intersections, my trains weren't able to plan routes where they need to go around a grid cell and turn around (which was definitely possible without using the same rail twice), then I tried troubleshooting it for 1-2 hours and decided to give up on trains until I need them to bring in ore from far away.

You most likely had some signaling issues.
