Summary0004842: Holes in vortex network
DescriptionI'm not 100% sure how pylons are supposed to work, so this may not be a bug --- but I've just noticed that there's a couple of "holes" in the vortex network near me, so I can get through to an area that I think should be inaccessible. In both cases, there's a wall of vortex tiles that stops one short of a pylon, so I can walk through in between the pylon and the wall. Picture and regions/world files attached.

I was going to report the very same thing but after the most recent update the holes in my vortex network seemed to close up on their own!

Is that .524? I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure the holes have actually opened up since I updated --- I remember trying unsuccessfully to squeeze by and get to the lava flats before, which I can do now. Weird.

Sounds like the network has just shifted about a bit in the last update, plugging a gap in my world; creating one in yours!

That's actually working as designed: the blocking is actually a little under-aggressive to avoid cases where you can't access _any_ of the pylons in a network and are forced to resort to strategic blasting. It's not actually stopping one short, it's just going diagonal into the pylon square.

I could try adding a rule that it's not allowed to go diagonal as either "endpoint" but that could lead to networks that are not ground-assaultable.
