Robots should avoid railway track #89

Closed boogieman1402 closed 7 years ago

boogieman1402 commented 7 years ago

Crossing a track occasionally will be unavoidable, but ideally robots would take the shortest route across a track, not move along the track and not come to a halt on track (nor ideally one tile next to it)

Dupe of #32, which already has some commentary on how difficult it would be to implement this.

kyranf commented 7 years ago

Factorio pathfinding is out of my control, other than requesting move to location X. The checking of rail tiles underneath each droid or even nearby a squad position is not worth the CPU usage. @arrdem is correct, see discussions in Issue 32
