Collision Boxes Need Another Look

I like to build a lot of contraptions and things that fold flush.


Over the last two years since the update, I've noticed some issues with the collision boxes, particularly with the ramp slopes. However, even basic cubes have problems.

Overall, the allowances for these collisions are extremely tight and can cause vibrations with grids moving past each each other. Piston floor elevators have to have their Impulse Axis settings raised by ten or a hundred times their default values to push a grid through and appropriately sized hole.

I have issues with a 3x3 freight floor elevator that I need to increase the piston Impulse settings to 1Mn to get it to go through a 3x3 hole. Then just standing on it, my engineer begins to slowly vibrate across it.

I believe that the collision boxes need another look over all of the armor blocks at minimum. Perhaps all blocks in general.

Glass in particular is still horrible xD

Yes, glass is basically unusable in terms of its "new" collision boxes.


The worst part for me is that this was supposed to be an awesome new capability for the builders. But, it wasn't done as well as advertised, and has basically been forgotten for two years.
