Electrification posts in the middle of track at junction #558

Describe the bug I think a picture will best explain this:

Electrification post in the middle of track at a junction.

Steps to reproduce Not sure. I was randomly placing track. But the curved track joined the straight section, so I guess it was already there and wasn't removed when the track joined.

Build version 0.54 2019-05-25 Pre-Alpha

Platform Windows 7

Reproducibility As this is the first time I've noticed it, I'll say its rare.

I think you misunderstood what reproducibility means. It is means how many tries it will take to observe, thing like this is always reproducible. The fact that you don't encounter it often when playing has nothing to do with this.

That said though, with more people unfamiliar with the development terminology coming in when the public pre-alpha hits, it might be better idea to expand the description for the issue template items to avoid confusion like this.

Sorry. I should have said "I don't recall seeing this before and haven't had a chance to re-test, so I'm guessing it might be something that is reproducible in rare circumstances."

I agree if this is to be rolled out to all who use early access, it might be easier to use "plain English" where possible, but there will always be misunderstandings/misinterpretations.

This is still reproducible in the 0.85 update. Can be done simply by building a rail through an existing post which does no react in any way.

This will change with the new tracks system: https://voxeltycoon.xyz/devlog/ea-faq/#i-have-hard-times-building-bridges-connecting-roads-etc
