One can walk across a line of boilers or heat exchangers.
Its pipes seems to be not connected (in the collision mesh sense,
steam water is flowing).

A connection boiler-pipe works and doesn't allow going through.

Sorry, my mistake, I wrote 'steam' while I should wrote 'water'.
I'm not talking about heatpipes, but line of boilers that conduct water.

I was searching forum for "heat" so I missed it was duplicate:(
Still, it sits in 'no bug' category while in that thread is clearly showed that behavior is not intended.

Now it makes sense;-) Thanks.
