The game should reset/fail the player if we come in to contact with the live rail, as a realistic feature of safety awareness that real rail workers have to consider all the time. In TSW2 we can get run over by as many trains at full speed and step on as many live lines without consequences and even be awarded at the end of the route just because our train arrived on time, I think safety would be a really fun, realistic element to add and would keep players aware and engaged around the tracks just like in real life. I appreciate that death/animations would be completely unnecessary and very time consuming for a train simulator game, I am proposing a more of a logic element, where if you're touching the live line / getting hit by a train at full speed the game just fails you on the mission for safety disregard.
As you are referring to TSW then you need the TSW forum here. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/forums/trainsimworld/
