[0.13.6] Small Pump & Storage Tank Clipping Error

[Xeteth]

It is possible to run behind a small pump connected to a Storage tank as shown in the gif below. I tested the other tank orientation and found that this error does not occur except on the sides shown.

Also tested with refinery and chemical plant and it seems this error only occurs on the storage tank.

I read that duplicate thread and I am not sure that a solution wouldn't be possible. The other thread is about walking in between storage tanks, whereas this is specifically about the storage tank and small pump entity. It seems to me that this would be possible to fix by adjusting the pump hitbox to be that of the pipe since pipes that are connected cannot be walked through like this.

Well...ok.

Known thing, won't fix.

In 0.14.21 the behaviour is inconsistent with this bug description, and internally inconsistent as well.

I would consider this to be a bug, inconsistency is never "OK". I would expect consistent behaviour with the pumps/tanks. One of the following should be true:

• You can never walk between pumps and tanks

• You can always walk between pumps and tanks

• You can walk between tanks and "out" pumps

• You can walk between tanks and "in" pumps

In 0.14.21 the state is inconsistent though:

You can only walk between tanks and "Out" pumps when the out pump is pointing down, or to the left

You cannot walk between tanks and pumps if the pump is an "in" pump, or "out" pumps pointing up or right.

Here's a collision box capture showing (with green arrows) the places you can walk through....
