Some trains not auto reversing

[Paul KT (Joseph Fletcher)]

I've had, which I assume is a bugs, after unlocking auto-reversing, some trains auto reverse as you would expect, but other trains (at the same platform) do not and have to be manually reversed. All the trains are at the correct platform and should be auto reversing.

I've seen this happen when the station has rail at both ends. It happens somewhat randomly. Try flipping the station from autoreverse and back again to see if that fixes it. Seems if its set to reverse when station has only one rail exit, then you add second rail on other end. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, I'll give it a go :)

Did you solve the Problem? I have the same issue where trains do not reverse if there are exits on both ends of the Plattform. I want the train to exit the same way it entered the station but it won’t reverse on its own but want to continue straight ahead.

Auto-reverse works on dead-end platforms only.

Departure Sensors is the right tool in your situation. It both reverses the train and crates a route to the next signal according to train's next stop.

Thanks a lot for your quick response :-)

I have auto reverse turned on, and it's not working for any stations

Please share your save or screenshot.

Just an idea: as it is a very early automation, it does not have any configuration and so it works only on dead-end platforms for the result to be deterministic & usable.

I'm having this same problem after adding departure sensors.

It happens when I manually activate the route/signals prior to departure. If the station signal is already engaged prior to departure, the train won't auto-reverse, even if it's a dead-end station with auto-reverse enabled.

This is intentional. Departure Sensor offers fine-grained control over reversing & routing the train so once build, Auto Reverse is turned off. Departure Sensor does the job once the train departs.

Moreover, with the Hotfix 2.0.14 we published yesterday, the Routing Queue is enabled from very beginning, so if you set up the route manually, Departure Sensor will enqueue another one & reverse the train.
