Hi devs, thanks for the amazing game, so addicting.

So this is something I found out by accident. If you connect an assembler that is unloading oil to a storage tank, you can walk in between them. I'm able to reproduce it in all 4 rotations. It only happens with storage tanks. With both types of pipe it reacts as predicted and you cannot walk trough it.

That's by design and too complex/time consuming to be worth "fixing": the bounding box of the entity doesn't include the pipe connections because it's square and would require some additional entity between the machine and the pipe which would just end up getting messy.
