Starting to shape up the core UI and town system in the new game. Panel collapses when not in use; trains now arriving in towns. Still WIP, but coming together.

Continued digging into PCG and PCGEx, and slowly getting my town together.

Devlog 6- Understanding Unreal PCG – Creating a Town
Continuing my investigations in PCG and slowly getting my town to take shape. After the last devlog, my next step was to get rid of criss-crossing streets. Due to PCGEx helpful nodes, this turned out to be not too bad - once I got my head around the Path x Path Crossings node. I fed Main Road points in, along with the generated streets, and this node identifies ones that cross.
