HERE IS A CRASH REPORT:
https://api.mclo.gs/1/raw/HYtkfoV

This crash specifically happens when Billnotic pastes in a specific tank schematic. The schematic itself is from the discord support post here. (I can’t send the file itself from my phone since it refuses to let me because it’s an unknown extension I guess)

True, I just assumed it was only your schematic considering no-one else has reported seeing this issue widespread. Its possible it is in fact a large problem with trackwork that your tank schematic simply makes obvious.

For ease of testing, here is a direct download link to the schematic: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1281841736158675005/1283179506072289320/piston_mk1.nbt?ex=66e2b64a&is=66e164ca&hm=44bdc189d6e32661fb29965db966221fd7a47a2f0c4338f3d1a07e25a7adc22e&
(When infusing physics the kelp belts glitch out a bit and have to be replaced).

Additionally, blockninja123's comment makes it seem like its specifically that tank schematic, which isn't verified. While I haven't tested on the server (due to there being players and I want to avoid crashing with people online), the only VS physics object made with Trackwork components WAS that tank so there is no way to know if its a larger issue affecting all creations or not.

NVM still broken.

Got around to downloading a backup of the server I was on and testing on it. I think I may have found a cause but am not 100% certain.

Infusing physics into a structure with belts makes the belts appear bugged, and with or without replacing them the physics object will occasionally crash the VS physics thread due to a null track for some reason. Infusing and then adding belts creates an object which does not crash.
I still need to test this more thoroughly as this conclusion came from very little data and also doesn't make any sense as there is no reason this would affect Trackwork but its all I have so far.

@Billnotic can you test for this on the latest version?

Closing stale issue
