Gate
This article contains content on features that are included in Alpha 0.11.0, an "experimental release" of the game that is not considered as "stable release" by the developers yet.
Template:Item
Gates are a new feature included in the Alpha 0.11.0 update. They act as a safe opening in walls that only the player can use. There are different graphics for normal gates and train gates; a train gate is one that overlaps a train track. The recipe listed creates a one-tile gate, but multiple adjacent gate items will merge into a single large gate.
Mechanics
Gates only open for entities of the same force. Hostile forces must destroy the gate unless they can trick a defending entity into opening the gate long enough to move through. Gates have the same defensive strength as a wall.
Normal gates will open whenever a player is within a few tiles, and is on foot or in a non-train vehicle. Train gates will open:
- whenever a normal gate would open for players on foot or driving;
- whenever a player is driving a train in manual mode, is on the same track as the gate, and is within a certain distance; and
- whenever a train is in automatic mode, has its planned path go through the gate, and is within a certain distance.
(TODO: Test the exact open radius for trains and for walking, and check whether cars/tanks have their own distance or not.)
