[0.18.17] 90 degree corners misalign trains by one tile

[JonoC]

For every 90 degree corner that a train is resting on in the same direction the rear of the train will be misaligned by one tile, this doesn't affect short to medium length trains which can be unloaded using a straight unloader but can severely affect longer trains

Train at station, the cargo wagon is perfectly aligned with the inserters


Train around a 90 degree corner, the second set of cargo wagons is misaligned by one tile


Train around 180 degree corner, the second set of cargo wagons is aligned correctly


Train takes two 90 degree corners to return to original aligment, the second set of cargo wagons is aligned correctly


Train takes two 45 degree corners and one 90 degree corner equaling to a 90 degree turn but totalling 180 degrees of cornering, the second set of cargo wagons is misaligned by one tile


This is an issue because train stations are locked to the 2x2 grid and thus cannot be adjusted to allow the train to always be aligned to the inserters.

Update, sending a train around a second 180 degree bend reintroduces a one tile discrepancy in the inserters

Hello, thanks for the report, however stations after rail curve are not supported (given π being irrational number and all, but that's not only reason)

If it happens to align, that's fine but it might not align after some future update, if it doesn't align, that's fine too because we didn't expect it to.
