Track Junction

The Track Junction is the key to enabling intelligent distribution of resources across your entire fortress. Junctions link to each other to form a transport grid that freight carts can navigate to freight station destinations. With these, it is possible to connect every production center, near and far, with a supply of resources from anywhere in the fortress.

Track Grids

All track on a connected grid will light up with the same color. Use this to identify when a section of track has become disconnected from others.

It is perfectly valid for a junction path to lead back to itself. A connection can lead to a station, turn the cart around with a buffer, and return to the original junction and register as a valid connection. Closed loops that do not end at a junction however are forbidden.

Press Q on a junction to reset the track connections. This may be used to force a recheck of track if a change has been made recently and a connection is not being detected. The track and junction color will change to reflect that a refresh has been completed. Tracks that do not match color indicate that there is no valid connection between them.
