Why does the Ask a Dev section seem inactive, and what is CIG's long-term plan for the broken collision detection that lets players glitch through walls and doors? Are there any official statements on it?asked by Kollateralkeule

I'm not a physics programmer, so can only given an abstract answer, but reliable collision detection is a particularly challenging area in game development. Glitching through "solid surfaces" is one of the most common bugs in the history of video games. It's often dependant on object velocity, frame rate (or more precisely how often the physics update runs), and animation transitions that cause your physics volume to change without you actually changing position putting you partially inside the wall. More detailed collision detection can be done, but is often more expensive in computational requirements, or requires a more complex authoring setup.

In addition, as I said, I'm not a physics programmer, but I can only imagine how much more of a challenge it is in SC in particular where practically EVERYTHING is moving on some level the whole time...
