[2.1.9] Signal placement on elevated rails works even when they are hidden

Post by hypergonial »

When placing signals, signal positions on elevated rails are still eligible even when the "hide elevated rails" option is enabled. I expect them to not be available to aid placement of signals on rails under the elevated section.

I just discovered the same issue. When hiding tall entities, I can still place signals on the elevated rails, but I can't remove them.

It looks like this feature simply doesn't include building logic in any way. The only 2 things it does is visually make them transparent and prevent selection with the cursor or selection tools. Since I am not seeing anything in the code that says they shouldn't be buildable for now I am moving this to not a bug.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
