Most likely, can you send us a save file where you observed that problem ?

In 1.8.2 ? Interesting. It shouldnt.

Correct Behaviour.

They shouldnt. Can you send us a save game file with that behaviour ?

This was checked against numerous saves we generated ourselves so that
surprises us here, please send a save file that we can see what went
wrong here .

Ok thats a new situation we probably havent foreseen, again if you got a
save file :)

Needs to be checked.

Rails doesnt enforce rules on TIle Lays. Only Upgrades and even them
might be placed in any direction the player wishes. Open Topic for a
long time.

Will check-

Will check. Might be something Broken in Game.xml.
