[Lou][2.0.50] Menu sim tank gets stuck

[jdrexler75]

Factorio 2.0.50 (build 82883, linux64, steam, space-age). No mods.

In the menu sim where the tank drives through the wall with blinkenlights, to place solar panels over an enemy base, it hits something and gets stuck. It keeps turning but not moving, and the worm survives.

[edit]I noticed it also damages the wall while driving

Added screenshot, hit the screenshot key just a little too late but you can make it out.

Is this a consequence of the turning buff? It must mean the menu sims are done in realtime, not pre-rendered, eh?

Thank you for the report, fixed for 2.0.52.

Yes and yes. The menu simulations are real-time simulations (with some scripting) and are affected by both our changes and mods. In the fixed simulation, the tank was using nuclear fuel, so its turning rate was buffed, however the breaking and turning were timed by ticks, so the tank position was out of whack.
