[2.0.15] Trains stopping when hitting biters on automatic mode

[Jessica_]

yeah as title says trains just stop when they hit a biter, unlike before 2.0 where you had train saws. I am running 1-6 trains at the time of writing, they should have enough mass.

Thanks for the report however I am unable to reproduce any difference between 1.1.110 and 2.0.15 regarding the amount of biters a given train at a given speed can kill before it runs out of momentum and stops moving.

Can you provide a save file from 1.1.110 that when run in 2.0.15 doesn't kill the same amount of biters?

I do not have a 1.1.110 save, I started a completely new save when 2.0 came out. I just quickly spawned a few biters with the editor to show as seen in the clipand also my save

As far as I can test, that's how it has always worked. Unless you can show me a 1.1 save where they kill the biter and when loaded in 2.0 they don't, I'm not seeing anything here.

The base game trailer shown on the factorio.com home page. Though, that's technically a 1.0 game.

The trailer don't behave like the real game tho. Trains would also be stopped by biters in 1.1.110, as long as it was enough of them.

I would like this to be a bug but it has always been like this.
There is a thread dedicated to it over in "Balancing"
