	By default, all signal blocks which have at least one pre-signal, exit signal or combo signal leading ''into'' them will be converted to path-based signalling as soon as the block becomes clear for the first time. You can disable this by enabling the "noautomaticpbsblocks" miscmods setting, in which case you have to set one signal in each block manually by cycling the states with Ctrl. If one signal is using path-based signalling, then all signals leading into that block will be converted to path-based signalling.
