Attraction to planes
Objects with an attraction value which is not 0 are not attracted to planes. However, if the plane's attraction is not 0 then objects are attracted to it.
Another attraction-related bug is that attraction is towards the center of the object, where I think it should be (or there should be an option for it to be) in the direction of the normal at the closest point.

Re: Attraction to planes
The attraction towards the center is not a bug (I'm pretty sure it at the center of gravity though) In most practical things (like a circle) this isn't a probleam but in complex polygons this can become an issue.
And I'm having trouble replicating this bug (0 percent success)

Re: Attraction to planes
1. Make a plane facing sideways
2. Make a circle, or another object
3. Set the plane's attraction to 100
4. Run the scene
5. Notice the object falls normally and isn't attracted to the plane.

Re: Attraction to planes
Objects aren't attracted to planes they're not meant to be, that would be extremely annoying and ruin almost every scene with attraction in it.
Planes can attract/repel objects to them selves but not the other way around.

Re: Attraction to planes
Isn't the power of the attraction affected by the weight/whatever of the object? Then what kind of attraction would an infinite plane produce?

Re: Attraction to planes
I would expect it to ignore the plane's weight and use the object's weight instead, probably. Although if this was fixed it would probably break existing scenes.
