Phantom Buffers

[split comet]

As the name suggests, it's a phantom track counter part to phantom tracks. Just like the phantom tracks when holding it would show up but when not holding it would be invisible. The main reason for this would be for phantom tracks so you don't have flowing buffers and for people to build custom buffers.

or maybe just

make buffers on phantom tracks automatically invisible

Why buffers in the first place then

Didn't you see the posts in #sneakpeeks

But why would you need an invisible buffer

It's not like your train will derail otherwise

[analog summit]

and yes I did see those posts

[whole adder]

same reason you'd want a normal buffer, but also want it invisible like the rest of the track it's on

[analog summit]

Why would you want a buffer? Deosent th3 end of the track also stop the train

[hollow sand]

1. a buffer slows down a train rather than an instant stop
2. a buffer can stop a train in the middle of a track without a station

[analog summit]

Oooh

[split comet]

And an invisible buffer could be used to make block built ones

And be functional like the normal buffers

[visual drift]

you know what would be realy nice? IF the little stone things for stations and signals where invis unless holding a station/signal

[lusty knot]

we are planning to make those be invis for phantom tracks, probably with a condition like that
