[0.18.12] Combat robot corpses shown in the void

[wartthog]

Playing Crashsite scenario (https://github.com/Refactorio/RedMew/tr ... crash_site) I noticed that the new corpse graphics of dead combat robots (which are a great addition btw!) are shown even when they land outside of the map boundaries. It looks pretty odd.

In the attached screenshot, I'm speaking about the remains on the black right half of the screen.

I don't think this matters, and makes things with the corpse prototype more complicated

I will move to won't fix

curious why the bots go out of bounds at all

> I don't think this matters

Agreed. I only mention it because the behaviour is different from the spitter goo puddles and asymmetry is a bad smell in software. If it's going to be difficult at all to fix then I agree it's better to just leave it. Few users will ever come across this and the "bug" is very trivial.

It would be pretty weird if they bounced off an invisible wall. Going out of bounds is fine.

Though it does cause the biters to freak out. As soon as the robots go out of bounds the biters panic and start running in the opposite direction. It is a bit weird.

then it's not really fine, is it?

i bounce off the edge, rail can't go there. why can the combat bots? then, enemies should also be able to go off-map to chase the robots.

If I remember correctly, it's basically implemented as a tile you can't walk over or build on. It makes sense from my understanding.
