[0.17.50] Train colision box

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[0.17.50] Train colision box

Post by MrBuisson »

Hi,
using curved rails, one can place a gate close enough to the rail to actualy make trains colide with it

Train will not colide if a wall is placed instead.

Best regards,

Thanks for the report however I don't consider this worth changing. Simply don't build the gates next to the train in that situation.

Changing curved rail bounding boxes is a massive can of worms that has no end to the stuff that breaks when done.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Now that I think of it, why not opening the gate instead of changing rails bounding boxes ? Sure enough it a minor thing and I can just remove the gate.
But that way you can’t tell you’d get bored :D

This is speculation, but I'm guessing there's some mechanic of only checking for gates attached to rails (presumably for performance reasons).
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
