should be fixed now

okay, something screwed my post.

TL;DR
When a gate is open, they should not get damaged by a rail gun shot.


What?
Currently, there is no good reason to use gates on space ships, especially when using rail guns. similar on the planets.
Maybe even partially opened gates could be missed by rail guns?


Why?
There is currently ...

this is not the same? this is not about the general splitter behavior change. this is about the bugged missing underground when interacting with the splitter on a curve

The issue here i think is twofold:
1. the underground in front of the splitter is treated as being connected to the splitter which results in the underground being added in the first place
2. it both downgrades the existing ...

the splitter seems to consider the underground to be connected to it, resulting in this weird mess of undergrounds. which also somehow makes the underground go the wrong way, which i assume happens because of the "switch" in which ...

although that only seems to happen when downgrading a belt.
seems to only happen when the underground is too long for the upgrade

how about this: not sure if that is the same thing though.

that wasnt even what i was trying to reproduce for the clip.

i think the problem here is similar to starting the belt drag on an already build belt (or rather, it is similar to what happened in earlier versions). when a belt is ...

here we have the age old issue of undergrounds appearing when you upgrade the belt and drag.
what i would have expected: not place the underground and in ...

i would have expected smart belt to place an underground before the splitter. similar to the underground that is placed when running the curve into a belt.

gernerally speaking, i am not sure what i would expect to happen. for some reason it does not play the sound / display the notification that the underground would be too long, or that the ...

it would be good to know what this is a duplicate from.

i believe this to be part of the same bug:

here the belt gets broken by the underground

whether the undergorund gets placed in a certain way is dependent on dragging direction

while the change in direction has occured before, it only did so when dragging against the direction the belt was currently moving. with splitters it happens even when the direction is the same
