That's.. unfortunate if even a small change can have such implications. It definitely doesn't look right though to miss a straight shot for the kill, perhaps it should aim for the center of the tile the small enemies are at and not the center of enemies smaller than 1 tile? ...

... perhaps it should aim for the center of the tile the small enemies are at and not the center of enemies smaller than 1 tile?


Well that has some other problems, like what happens if the target is still in range, but the tile center isn't? Either the range would be nerfed in unobvious way, or ...

And in the above save i gave if you place walls left and right and let the enemies run in the middle the walls are getting destroyed which again it is the same issue. While the walls are supposedly not being shot at they get destroyed.


well, that might actually not work, since walls ...

That was separate issue: viewtopic.php?p=661823#p661823

This is definitely not a bug -> moved to Ideas and Suggestions.

That being said, changing the width of AOE of railgun shells or the bounding box of enemies would have big implications for the game and IMO are a no-go.

In the provided example, part of the "issue" is that the railgun aims for the ...

Thanks for the reports, issues are fixed for 2.1.0

btw super-force-select for deconstruction planner allows you to mark entities, tiles, hidden tiles and tiles with supported entities in one fell swoop.

Thanks for the report, added the instruction to the tooltip for 2.1.0.

After some reevaluation I am moving this to minor -> it is a relatively minor issue with possible remification of the fixes.

This seems to have been solved some time ago, at least as of 2.0.71 I don't observe the undesired behaviour

Thanks for the report, fixed for 2.1

If i was correct and the cause of it was cancelling deconstruction of plants not removing player's colliding tile ghosts, then it is fixed for 2.1

The 1st and 3rd photo looks to be the issue mentioned, I don't think the 2nd is as well. I think I found the cause of the second one, but if you have a save or video I could confirm.

Thanks for the report, the issue is fixed for 2.1.0.

Thanks for the reports, fixed for 2.1.0.

Thank you for the report.

This was fixed since 2.0.45, I just forgot to resolve this report, sorry.

Fixed for 2.0.67. Thanks for the report.

Thank you for the report, fixed for 2.0.67

From 2.0.67 this should no longer happen, however ghosts that were never built in existing saves will not be affected, those you still have to fix manually.
