[0.17.11] Drones ignoring trees when building rails

I have noticed that rarely when building rails with railsplanner drones can sometimes ignore the trees and not remove them before placing said rails.

It's a pretty small issue, since trains will ram through them anyway, but here it is anyway.

Are you able to upload a savefile?

In the offchance that this is a vanilla behaviour caused by chance alignment of a tree hitbox with the track collider, I'd vote to leave it in.

I took a look at the save and with squeek through installed it's obvious that it messed with stuff. But you say you didn't have it installed when this happened.

Without some way to reproduce it there's not much I can do.

I just encountered this as well, in 0.17.12 though. Maxwell, are you SURE this didn't happen with SqueakThrough already installed? I just tested on my save, and with SqueakThrough this happened, but with the mod disabled, the tree suddenly blocked both of the adjacent rail tiles from being rebuilt.

SqueakThrough enabled:

Edit: I've also submitted this as a bug on SqueakThrough's mod portal page.
