    Should a rail docker, when undocked, change its direction like this one is? Note: This one is undocked via the docked rail changing direction.

    It is really annoying and scuppering my plans to build logic launched escape pods. And no, there is no logic signals going into the rail dock (the logic signals are remote activation of push effect).

    If there are no logic signals going into the rail dock, how are you undocking? Is it just because it decides to change direction?

    pulsing the rail on the host entity with an activation module undocks the entity docked to the rail


    (not guessing, i pressed the button :p )

    It's strange and confusing that putting an activation module next to a rail is how you (a) undock something from a rail, (b) detect when something moves on the rail, and (c) clone one rail to another.
