[0.13.3] [Oxyd] Biters will not attack/path through wall of trains

[Nigit]

Biters/spitters repeatedly rendezvous at a location, but then dissipate because they could not find a path to the source of the pollution. There were no attacks even after 1 or more hours of waiting. Note that removing a segment causes the aliens to attack again.




The intended effect, of course, would be to have the biters cross the tracks and go splat.

That is the craziest biter defense I have ever seen

[siggboy]

Making all those trains and putting them on the rail and having them go round and round. So much work.

Impressive, mad, best bug report ever .

[Oxyd]

Okay, fixed in 0.13.5.

[Dev-iL]

Bravo*2 @Nigit: once for building such a defense and and once for finding such "edge case of edge cases " type of bug

[Nexela]

This just goes to show you that biters are intelligent and know that crossing that track would expect instant death

How is the train refuelled? This actually looks like a startlingly valid defense, but only if the trains remain in perpetual motion because a means of fueling them has been provided.

It's not useful, because the giant train makes this base run at less than 60 fps even with nothing else moving.

I don't care about FPS till it goes below 25 and becomes a slideshow.

Though it sounds like Oxyd already fixed this and I might have missed the chance to play with it, I wonder if the same effect can appear with only 3 trains.
