In this episode I show some examples of 2- and 4-lane rail setups, with both single- and double-headed trains.

I mention track spacing briefly in the video, that multi-lane tracks are usually separated by 4 tiles (two track widths). Another good reason for this that I did not mention is that two track widths is the minimum distance required to merge or split.

This is a tutorial series in Factorio version 0.15. This series is aimed towards newer players, or those who have been away from the game for a while. I will spend more than the usual amount of time explaining what I'm doing and why. The goal of this playthrough is to get to a fairly quick single rocket launch. I am playing without mods, and enemy bases are set to "None" (no biters) to put the focus on base-building.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know in the comments.
