  • Yup, they changed all the rail geometries, the old will be removed completely in 2.1. It’s the main reason I haven’t done anything trains yet. I procrastinated making new rail blueprints for the longest time, and then I decided to spend 8 hours making blueprints for a giant, fully modular city block design for 1-4-2-4-1 trains, which will be great… once I can actually afford it. So, still no rails, just lots of slow, inefficient “temporary™” spaghetti. 😅 I’ll probably have to bite the bullet and remake all my standard junctions for Fulgora though.









  • Except in very rare configurations (i.e. not 99.9% of residential), you do not want to have multiple paths to ground within a system. All grounds should go to the tied ground/neutral bus in the main breaker panel, which then goes to earth via a ground rod or a clamp to a copper gas/water line, etc. Otherwise you can have current flowing in ways that the system isn’t designed for, which at the least can trip breakers and GFCIs, and at worst exceed the rating of the wires in a short condition and cause a fire.

  • At least for me, I have ADHD—if it’s out of sight (i.e. another bookmark in one of the hundreds of folders I have), it ceases to exist, no matter how important or interesting it is.

    I have 6 virtual desktops for current projects, with all of the tabs (and other applications) for each project on a desktop, and with a Firefox window for each “topic” within that project. I go through and close out old windows periodically (i.e. when I need to free up desktops), saving anything I might want to refer back to with the Tab Stash plugin. Importantly, I also have the Auto-Discard Tabs plugin so they aren’t using RAM until I need them again.

    It might seem messy, but it’s what works best for my brain. I do at least try to not have more than 12 tabs per window. On rare occasions I’m even successful! 🙃
