Automate Biter clearing - Robot army

... hit the squad max size, the go off in that cardinal direction. There's multiple tiers of robots, so they don't overwhelm the biters out of the gate, and as biter density goes up, the material cost to replace your army becomes a noteworthy reason to expand or up the production amounts. The good: ...

Re: Can trains ever crash into gates across tracks?

A closed gate is only supposed to be a blocker for path finding if it can't open in time. That would require introducing a time factor to the trains pathfinder which is not going to happen. At speed 0 every gate has enough time ...

Re: Can trains ever crash into gates across tracks?

When I use a tank and have robots, everything is a gate :twisted: If gates don't want to get hit then it's their responsibility to pay attention and move out of the way fast enough When i use many exoskeletons legs, every wall is a gate. Also every ...

Re: Can trains ever crash into gates across tracks?

... fair enough, but it would be nice to see it fixed at some point in 2.x. I would have thought it could be done with a path penalty for closed gates (small for a gate that is free to open, larger and increasing with time for one that is locked by a circuit condition), and then when a path that ...

Re: Can trains ever crash into gates across tracks?

If you decide to change gate's opening_speed to be 1/10th of the vanilla gate opening speed, then i am pretty sure it will be hit by trains all the time even without repathing. I think this happened to me with modded (super) fast trains ...

Re: Can trains ever crash into gates across tracks?

I'd call that a pathing bug. If the gate can't open in time, then the train should not be going that way. I would not be so sure about that. Lets think about this: 1/ Train could open all gates in the braking distance on all possible branches. ...

Re: Can trains ever crash into gates across tracks?

They can crash into gates. Gates need to lower to stop colliding and trains (in automatic) only open gates on their path. If a train recalculates path while moving fast it may happen that a new path goes through a closed gate and the gate may not open quickly enough and the train will collide with it.
