It sounds like you are well on your way! Please feel free to ignore the rest of this post, I'm only writing in case it helps someone else one day.

I'm sorry that I didn't explain that my redundancy against that problem which was that I made the blueprints in the shape of an "L" from above where I always knew as I was building away from my base that the _1 m foundation part of the L shape was always to my characters right as I was facing down the | part of the L. I could clearly spot whenever the track was wrong when the spacing between _ foundations was off

I didn't care that it made the track look a little funky, and never really had times where the train rails would meet outside of the main hub base.

I know I know. My boy Dio is toxic but I still love him anyways. It's self cabbage-toge.

If Aurelian isn't in your Top 5, swipe left.

Yeah that tripped me up for a bit too. I colored my 1 m foundations so the top was Red for towards my home base and Green was for away. So I could follow the IALA region b red right returning guidance

I also use two blueprints for my rail construction that I alternate with to help make things flow

1. that has rails and rail signals built in

2. one that's just foundation

In addition to the other tips here, I recommend having a two level rail system with one direction heading on one level and the opposite direction on a level above.

The pro is this way you don't have to worry about making intersections that cross over your main rail lines.

The con is that you have to build enough space to ramp up your track connections on level 2 but that's mitigated by just having around 2 train lengths of space length of space from the main rail before the train station

So it looks like this from the side

==========> Rails

---------------------- One meter foundation

At least 8 meters of space

<=========== Rails

----------------------- One meter foundation

And cats

I always appreciated that the years of X emperor's always increased. Imagine how confusing would it be to have the chaos years as 6,4,5 or 5,4,6.

If it makes you feel any better, that's how I read the post too until you were corrected. I also missed the beginning sentence. Oops.

This may be the best Shampoo commercial I have ever seen.

I always thought the best part of the Tetrarchy was a legal foundation to the formal separation of East and West allowing a constitutional division in the empire to allow the East to still have legitimacy after the West fell. That is it created the frame for a Rome without Rome.

I agree his retirement was, at the most generous, premature. It's like he wanted to play Cincinnatus but the world wasn't ready yet.
