[0.13.1] Rail planner removing trees but not rocks

Post by Zeblote »

To reproduce, place single rails in front of a tree and a rock. Then use the long rail planner and just draw a rail across each.

Across tree, without shift

Across rock, with shift (no change!)

This causes all sorts of weird bumps in the track when trying to go longer distance, as it's avoiding all rocks instead of removing them.

This was already noted during testing, but is marked for implementation in 0.14,
Maybe it will come in a minor 0.13 update, but its not really a bug

Looking at past releases, that's a year away... rocks can be removed by robots just like trees, why was it done like this in the first place?

The minable rock mod makes rocks minable by changing them into a tree type under the hood in 0.12. If that mod was updated for 0.13 then maybe that would fix the bug?

If it works then modders are better at fixing bugs than devs...

Fixed for 0.13.2.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
