[0.17.20] Wall extensions are not recalculated when modifying nearby world

Post by jarcionek »

Steps to reproduce:

1. Place a wall next to water/cliff so that it gets an extra extension towards the obstacle
2. Remove the obstacle (place landfill / blow up cliff)

Expected: the wall gets shorter
Actual: the wall doesn't change

No, it simply is not a bug, the same way logistic or construction robots not flying only in bounds of construction area is not a bug. Players might expect that they would, it is reasonable expectation, but it is not how it was designed to work.
