	A ~~Gate~~'s opening radius appears to be dependent on the player or vehicle's speed that is heading toward it, so as to ensure it opens in time. A player walking at the gate without any speed boosts will cause the gate to open about 4-5 tiles from the gate. A train traveling at full speed towards a gate will cause the gate to open several tiles away. This behavior is similar with all vehicles.

A gate will stay open if there is a player/vehicle about 2-3 tiles away from it. If a player stands just outside of this radius, it is possible that the gate may not open in time should they run towards it with an enhanced speed (for example, using [[exoskeleton]]s). Defenders should also be careful to ensure they do not let enemy forces in accidentally, as they may pass through when the gate is down.
