Bug Single, immobile docked rail entity is not sending logic signal.

[jstenholt]

So, I have a single rail dock which is connected to a simple docking light.

The way this used to function with docking blocks was that when the dock was in use, it transmitted a high signal to any adjacent logic blocks.

Now, rails still send a logic signal if they pass over a logic block, but it seems that they do not send any signals when a stationary entity is docked to a single rail docker.

If anybody else is experiencing this, or knows how to actually do this, let me know.

Asking again about this, last time I talked about this, we got told the

"on dock" -> true and
"on undock" -> false

wont get implemented anymore.

Oh please don't be true, this is such a great feature.

Oh please don't be true, this is such a great feature.

Just makes me want an actual fixed dock even more or the ability to dock a rail docker to another rail docker and have them trigger logic. Without the ability to detect when another ship lands rails and rotors will make a poor choice for fixed docks. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who used that ability of the old docks including myself.

Yeah, I use it in pretty much every build.

Idon't see a reason to take that feature away from single rail docks. Especially not when logic is still activated by a moving entity.

I miss this feature already. My auto doors don't close as I dock, and the indicator lights for an easy double check that entities are docked don't work. Please bring it back.

As a work around for the time being i'm using two rails, activation module beside the second, and dock to the first and slide to the second.

No worries, andy is answering with the old system in mind, it got recently changed. This is a valid bug and will be fixed.
