Starmade | Thruster plumes disappear when semi-blocks are placed behind them
Confirmed task for development, TrivialPublic
Actions

Description

First it generated when you just log in or create the entity.
But then after a certain amount of time the plumes turn off suddenly and are not coming back (even if remove-reput the thruster block in same place).

Maybe related to T208 and/or T898.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Place a thruster block
  2. Place a slab, wedge, corner or tetra with one of its total void face oriented to thruster block
Tester information (Internal use only)

Any of these blocks count as full blocks, the thruster plume is still visible after placing the blocks because it takes a while before it gets disabled.
I'm not sure if this is easily fixed, or if it's worth spending a lot of time to make it work but yeah, they count as full blocks so the thruster plume disables because it thinks it's obstructed.

Similar to T898.

It's indeed similar to T898.

v. 0.198.134

It's seems turn worse, now 1 full block of empty space is enough to make the plumes to disappear.

That is normal behavior, the thruster that has "gone dark" is connected via other thrusters to the one directly behind it.

Oh sorry, true, I had totally forgot about that fact.
