[0.13.10] Trains can pass in the gap between vagons

Post by madpav3l »

Trains can pass through the gap between wagons/locomotive without stopping or damaging/destroying the other train or itself.
See the screenshots below or easily reproduce it in the game.

Thanks for the report,

I can confirm that the collision boxes leave a big enough gap for a perpendicular wagon

I don't know what all ramifications would come from changing the train collision bounding box but they have been this way since trains have been a thing so they can stay that way for a while longer.

Maybe in 0.14 we'll change them but not for now.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

First off, train signals don't allow this trick. Second, this trick requires a decent amount of precision each time it is used. Thusly, the potential for abuse is low.
