Zaptrocutor deals no damage to Shadow Chess Pieces

The Zaptrocutor is unable to deal any damage to Shadow Chess Pieces.

I don’t believe this is intentional design. Common creatures such as Pigmen and even Catapults can attack Shadow Chess Pieces, which proves they are not restricted like pure shadow entities that only the player can harm.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Spawn Shadow Chess Pieces.
  2. Attack them with the Zaptrocutor and check if any damage is dealt.

Working as Intended.

The Possessed Chassis will be a bit smarter and not use the Zaptrocuter towards creatures that are immune, though.

This result is shocking to me. Could you clarify the classification rationale behind this?

Winona's Catapult—also part of the Wagstaff tech line—can deal damage to Shadow Chess Pieces, Shadow Thralls, Grazer, and Celestial Scion. Yet the Zaptrocutor cannot ( I also noticed neither of them can deal damage to ghost-type creatures either ) .

Could you provide a design explanation for this inconsistency? @omar_klei

Sorry for tagging the developers directly, but I’m genuinely really confused and curious about this design choice.
