After some robots were spawned on Scrapyard level, I rammed into a robot standing on top of the stairs and got the "No level access here" message. Is that a bug?

Spoiler: See picture here (click to show/hide)

Hm... yes that would definitely be a bug. I can't seem to repeat it though!

This has something to do with the Beta's new auto-ascend on ramming UI feature, which I've seen others mention recently but couldn't repeat then either. Your particular screenshot however gives me some more clues to work with... Looks like somehow the ram failed but the ascension code still executed or something like that (because you are not currently standing on the stair location there!). Thanks for the report, I'll look into this more closely.

That is so strange! I can easily repeat this bug several times since it's at Scrapyard.

Edit: Also notice that I didn't take any damage from ramming despite carrying no item. Not sure if that's supposed to be possible.

Yeah? You can repeat it? Hm... if you think you're in a position to repeat it, save and exit, load and confirm it does happen when ramming for the next action, and attach your save.bin here. I'll check to see on my end if the same thing happens. I tried a whole bunch of different scenarios and couldn't get that to happen. Also I guess attach your cogmind.cfg file in case some of your optional settings are affecting it? (I can't imagine what would, though if I can't repeat it and you can then something must be different here...)

You can take as little as 1 core damage in that case, so maybe you didn't notice it?

So I've been testing this bug out a couple of times. I thought I can reproduce the bug consistently, but now I realize that I can only SOMETIMES reproduce it. The chance of the bug happening is not low, so even if it fails a couple of times, it will eventually happen. (Bugs have RNG?) Sometimes I can reproduce the bug several times in a row if the robot is still alive after being rammed and is still standing on top of the stairs.

I hope you can smash that bug! 

[Kyzrati]

Hm, odd that I still can't repeat what you're seeing. With your save I did discover, however, that if a ram outright destroys the target then you won't automatically ascend. These are two different issues, and while I couldn't repeat the first, I did find the theoretical cause in the code and fixed it

Anyway, these should be taken care of now.

I'll see if I can reproduce the bug again after the next update. If I can't reproduce it after like 20 tries, I think it's considered fixed.

After some testing for Beta 1.2, it looks like I can't reproduce the problem again. Hopefully the bug is considered fixed.
