Is there a mod that removes (or could be used to remove) Railroad Switch Controls?
These nasty things, for reference: https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Railroad_Switch_Control
It pains me how they pop up in the middle of intersections I build, sometimes clipping into an adjacent track. How they leer at me from the back side of a block signal that clearly shows trains should never be going that way on that track. How they love to appear at precisely the moment I finally get the geometry of the curve just right. They're an ungodly eyesore and should be banished from the face of MASSAGE-2(A-B)b!

Railroad Switch Control
The Railroad Switch Control is used to decide the path of a manual driven Train on a Railway switch. It is generated automatically on every Railway switch that is properly built. It cannot be built separately, dismantled, or moved by any means other than save editors or mods.
Regarding this tip on the wiki: "Even though the switch cannot be removed directly, it is possible to remove a switch from a junction indirectly. On a 2:1 junction remove any segment from the split side and quickly rebuild it before the switch is gone: the old switch will be removed and the new one will not appear."
I tried it, I really did. Either I'm working with too short a length of track, I am way too slow with laser fast precision clicking, or it doesn't work. It's very sad :sadbread:
I am pretty sure you can place these on the left side on the next update, if it helps

If this isn't the mod you were looking for, try a different spelling.
Solution
this might be able to move it
Ooh is that working again now? Fab! Thanks!
Not entirely, this is a stop-gap "Redux" version SirDigby has kindly made for us. It's not entirely the old Rearchitector, but it should get the job done.
It worked perfectly, thank you!
My rails are pretty once more
Well, perhaps pretty is a stretch given the cursed intersection required for the factory layout and me being yet to construct supports, but there's no longer a Railroad Switch Control sticking through the centre of the far left track!
