Testing how pan and zoom will work on the new signalling screens. When panning I'm holding down my left mouse button - all features support keyboard-only, mobile and gamepads too. Ignore the network image itself - it's not what will be in the final version (also, ๐ŸŽ‚ @ Charlie)

This SCR update coming soon is maybe the biggest since 1.0 for programming. I have completely rewritten the part streaming system, the way sensors work, and the server-side signalling system. Changelog is currently 19 items long after collating related things ๐Ÿ‘€ @StepfordRail

Accelerating the new movement system to be ready asap might mean we roll it out in bits to get parts of the game functional sooner Better than fixing the current system when we could be spending that time on this new system which fixes lots of other things

I'll see if we can solve some quick bugs in the meantime, but this rework will render the current movement-related bugs obsolete as it is a different way of rendering and moving the trains
