     * We also have a (not very quantifiable) number of people who play singleplayer. The number of ContentDB downloads gives some indication of how many people have tried the base game, as well as each of the train packs also available on ContentDB. Some of these people post in the minetest forums.     * We also have a (not very quantifiable) number of people who play singleplayer.

 +    * The Ks signals are changed to (hopefully) be realistic.
 +    * Distant signaling will be removed from the branch.
 +      * It is far from maturity, and implementing it properly would likely extend the development time by a lot and move the focus away from the signals themselves.
 +      * The Zs3v signal will be kept.
 +      * Distant signaling will be implemented as a separate feature.
 +      * This will affect worlds that already use distant signaling, but it will //not// affect the actual operation of the train. (It should also be noted that using a WIP branch on a production server is not recommended for obvious reasons)

 The following points were briefly discussed: The following points were briefly discussed:
-  * Distant signaling in the ''new-ks'' branch will be removed as it is way too far from maturity. +  * A "line speed" signal aspect (the maximum speed at which a train is allowed to pass a line) should be implemented, which should override the max speed restriction if necessary. (Refer to notes on the ''new-ks'' branch)
-  * A "line speed" signal aspect (the maximum speed at which a train is allowed to pass a line) should be implemented, which should override the max speed restriction if necessary.+
   * The ''trainhud'' branch is ready for review, although the custom train HUD feature still needs to be tested.   * The ''trainhud'' branch is ready for review, although the custom train HUD feature still needs to be tested.
