[0.17.4] Train stops instantly Bug

Post by TanConan »

How tor reproduce:

1. Build a long track and place a train on one end.

2. Give the train some fuel and start moving in "manual" mode.

3. While driving (fast), click on the train to open the train GUI and toggle the switch to change the mode to "automatic".

The train will stop instantly and will not have an stopping distance. Normally, if you break with the "S" key on your keyboard, the train will slowly come to an end, but not in this case.

A double headed train will also stop instantly if it is driving in one direction and then the player changes its destination to one where it needs to reverse its current direction. So, if a double headed train is on a long straight track with station A at one end and station B at the other and is going from A to B then telling it to go to A will make it stop and then start going to A.

Just because you find it useful does not mean that's how it's supposed to work :lol:

This is indeed working correctly and identically as in 0.16. The train will only stop instantly when switching to automatic mode if there is no station it can path to. NaB.
