Oddity with trains and circuit networks

Post by JasonCurnow »

I was doing some testing with circuit networks reading the contents of a train. I had it working great, but I manually stopped the train at the station and tried to do more testing. Much to my surprise, the circuit network wouldn't read the train contents. I banged my head against the wall for about 30 minutes until I turned the train back to automatic. Once I did that, the circuit network started working perfectly. Seems like the network should work if the train is AT the station, regardless of auto vs. manual. Seems like a bug.

tldr: Circuit network monitoring train contents doesn't work with the train set to manual at the station. Only works when train is set to auto.

Thanks for the report. That's intended.
