[0.18.24] bug with input_flow_limit = "0W"

[Honktown]

Setting input_flow_limit to "0W" has very unusual effects (tested on assembling-machine entity). Example snippet of code:

Code: Select all

elE.energy_source =
{
    type = "electric",
    usage_priority = "secondary-input",
    buffer_capacity = "5MJ",
    output_flow_limit = "0W",
    input_flow_limit = "0W",
    drain = "0W",
    render_no_power_icon = false,
    render_no_network_icon = false
}
elE.energy_usage = "1MW"

With that code, a connected accumulator-type entity shows 1.1MW being produced in the power screen, even if active = false is set in-game, and the energy is going nowhere. If input_flow_limit is set to "0.0001W" the code works as expected: the accumulator shows "0W" being produced in the power screen (presumably rounded from 0.0001).

The 1.1MW value might be a side effect of the bug, as the entity is clearly set to consume 1MW with no drain. The information on the right side of the screen does not show min/max consumption, just "0W" max consumption and status: "No Power" whether the input_flow_limit is "0W" or "0.0001W" (the latter being confusing because it clearly should be gaining power... though the buffer doesn't have 1J or greater)

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for the next release.
