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,
Mr Buisson

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.

I certainly understand your point


what, no worms ?

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

This is speculation, but I'm guessing there's some mechanic of only checking for gates attached to rails (presumably for performance reasons).
