Beware of Gridlocks (multiple crossings)

[shrewdlogarithm]

I spent 2 hours building a long transport route today - checked supply was OK, checked everything worked as-intended - left it to do it's thing

It worked for almost an hour and then I noticed nothing was arriving.

I assumed something had attacked the sparks perhaps - but no, they're all there, carrying nothing...

Got to the source and found my sparks were 'gridlocked' at a crossing - one "long" group blocked 2 crossings - nothing could move!

I guess that's realistic - it's also kinda annoying as sparks will 'bunch up' due to travelling faster when unloaded so EVENTUALLY they're a train and they block the whole junction - not really sure if that's fixable either by the dev or the player tho really

Other than by not putting crossings ANYWHERE near each other?

I think they should add a way to go under and over other paths.

We really need this, the crossing just gets ridiculous after the very early game. Also the two "sides" of a path don't seem to be honored in crossing squares...you can get gridlock even if one of the paths on the other side is open.

Thank you for those suggestions. Added to the list for consideration.
