| Fix: Platforms acceleration | :white_check_mark: | :x: | :x: | This bug gets caused by any player's effects like power-up transforning or getting hurt. Any moving platforms and layers gets suspended during such effects to avoid unfair deaths. This bug doesn't affects platforms attached to rails. However, there are free-falling platforms (they aren't attached to any rails) that receive continuous acceleration while being suspended, and once player's effect finishes, they start to fall with a significantly increased speed causing serious collapse of the built machine based on falling platforms which may lead a soft lock or an unfair death in such levels. |
| Fix: Collapse of NPC-247 | :white_check_mark: | :x: | :x: | This bug causes a stack of NPC-247 to collapse while passing slopes. The reason of this problem is treating of slope blocks as a "groud under feets" that allows segments to move away from their base. |

| Fix: Wrong speed added on climbable BGO | :white_check_mark: | :x: | :x: | If player jumps away from any moving layer and tries to climb BGOs, the player starts to unexpectedly move by the last speed of the moving layer. |
| Fix: Move player with the climbable BGO | :white_check_mark: | :x: | :x: | Without this fix, climbable BGOs attached to the moving layer will never move the player too. |
| Fix: Player can go through wall while standing on moving NPC | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark: | :x: | This is so notable as a "conveyor bug" where player can clip the wall while being pushed by a conveyor (and, actually, by any other NPC that adds speed to player) to the wall and on attempt to jump. |
| Fix: Invalid move of NPC-190 | :white_check_mark: | :x: | :x: | This bug is known as an "accordion bug" when moving chain of NPC-190 gets squashed into the single cell when reaching the solid barrier. Also, such NPCs gets turned into "conveyor" and they may also cause the "conveyor bug" that could clip player into the wall. |
