As in title, currently repeatedly driving a legendary-legged-tank / legendary rocket fuel train into a gate will eventually crush it. We need faster gates. Or at least faster legendary gates.

I think this is unlikely, somethin similar was discussed there : 111640

My understanding of the linked discussion was trains slowing down / accommodating slowly opening gates will not happen, as it's gates' job to get out of the way.
Having quality gates open more quickly would be a solution, from trains' point of view.
It remains to be seen if it's desireable from art designers' point of view.

Thanks for the pointer. I'm not expecting a solution in general, just a quick hack so that train on legendary nuclear fuel won't crush legendary gates on start.

Seem to me that the problem is caused by the player placing a gate too close to the train and won't be fixed by the devs for the players.

Trains should slow down when approaching a gate, even stop if the gate is blocked, just like at a red signal.

I think this is the precise approach that seem the most unlikely to happen given the previous discussion : 111640
