Factorio 2.0 port/fork of Space Efficient Rail Signals by WristWatch/OceanPhantom. Decouples rail signal collision masks from rails so signals can be placed (almost) anywhere — ideal for dense intersections, tight rail spacing, or LHD↔RHD conversion.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 2026.04.29
Changes:
- Updated mod target to Factorio 2.0
- Collision layers now registered as CollisionLayerPrototype via data:extend (required by 2.0)
- Layer names now use underscores per Factorio 2.0 documentation recommendation
- Rail type detection is now dynamic: covers all types whose name contains "rail" but not
"signal" (handles straight-rail, curved-rail-a/b, half-diagonal-rail, elevated-* variants,
legacy-* variants, and modded rail types — curved-rail no longer exists in 2.0)
- Replaced static copy_all_rails with per-entity backup/restore covering all rail types
- Collision mask operations now use 2.0 API: mask.layers[name]=true/nil directly
(add_layer/remove_layer/mask_contains_layer were removed from collision-mask-util in 2.0)
- cmu.get_mask no longer mutates entities in 2.0; explicit collision_mask assignment added
before modification to ensure changes persist
- Verification now checks all detected rail types, not just straight-rail/curved-rail
Version: 1.0.4
Date: 2023.04.04
Bugfixes:
- fixed crash when loading mod with both Renai Transportation and railway tunnels
- added function to ensure all rail-signal collide after edits, as a failsafe against cases where mods add rail-signals that already don't collide with rail segments
Version: 1.0.3
Date: 2023.01.29
Changes:
- Change require("collision-mask-util") to require("__core__.lualib.collision-mask-util")
- Changed all_rails_collide() to all_prototypes_collide(), Fixed crash cause by nil values.
- Removed logging functions for less clutter in the log file
