for a while this was a question to me whether putting people in fire actually speeds up the train. @Fasty told me that it does but i've never seen the difference when playing. so now we finally activated our autism and did the testing. here are the results:
it does speed up but very little. for 1 lost coal you need to put other players 6 times in fire to compensate it. but what's more not only can you speed up your train by enemy players but by throwing yourself in fire too
the next thing we're going to test is the difference between easy and hard bots. after playing with hard bots a little i noticed that what @MrJoe said could be true, that it's harder to ko hard bots, which wouldnt be the best decision to increase the difficulty of bots as a lot of players already struggle connecting their punches. but more testing needed
we also noticed that lately easy bots were dying too fast. we cant test if there is a change because we cant go back and compare their hp to how it was before, but we can try to test their hp compared to hard bots
