When transport robot is moving towards player which is inside the train on the horizontal elevated rail, they go to the point directly below that rail. Technically, not a bug, but looks like a bug.

Thanks for the report. This is a won't fix due the performance overhead it would have on every single robot everywhere at all times.

I can suggest changing this on a render layer, so they are rendered with the offset when all conditions are true:

1. Robot is inside render area (of course it is)
2. Robot is targeting current player or the vehicle they control: this should already be in the game data as these robots are colored differently; no need to render that to the other players
3. Robot is near its destination: in FFF-421 it was said robots are now checked only once per N ticks, so the last (or last few) of chunks could be considered as "near"
4. Target is elevated: in train or flies in jetsuit from mech armor (or any other method of elevation)

Might add to the ToDo list for 2.1 or what will be the next content / major-QoL patch
