Bug Report - Taking fall damage from Catwalk Stairs Wide Half 2.5m

Reported

Bug: When running down wide half stairs attached to the side of a block, occasionally your engineer can take fall damage.


Steps to reproduce: Place a block on the ground aligned to gravity. Attach Catwalk Stairs Wide Half 2.5m to the side of this block on the top row of 25cm. Attach a platform 25cm above this block. From the top of this block, RUN straight forwards over the stairs.


(Interestingly, this does not happen if the stairs aren't there.)


Expected result: Engineer should run down the stairs with no damage.

Actual result: Engineer occasionally takes damage.


All is shown in the video.

Hello Matt B,

I've noticed that there seems to be a sharp acceleration downwards for a split second when falling in general; dropping off a 2.5m block has you fall faster than expected, and falling from slightly higher shows the acceleration suddenly drop off back to 1 g (tested on Verdure). This sharp increase in downwards velocity, plus the 10m/s sprint speed, can easily slip over the 20m/s damage threshold.

This also makes walking on uneven terrain, especially in drilled out tunnels, feel quite jittery as even slight elevation changes are practically instant.
