As in title. Allow entities of the valve prototype to have circuit network connections, particularly for "Read contents". This would allow valves to do everything that the psuedo-valve tanks of 1.1 could do.

Why it's in "Mods" section? Valves are vanilla functionality, available in editor.

... game, Factorio will temporarily create a "dummy entity" with the default prototype of that type for the purpose of migrations. In this case, the valves mod removed their internal storage tank, so the game would create a dummy storage-tank entity. Unlike the valve tanks, which were 1x1, the default ...

Edit: The behavior/numbers change was introduced with 2.0.48. My guess is that the Fluid code was changed when adding Valves.

Yeah, the bug has something to do with the removal of the internal valve entities - whether that be by migration from valves 1.2 -> 2.0, or removing the mod entirely.

It's not the mod's fault, it is simply triggered by the mod's behavior.

Weird. The valves in the save are old ones (version <= 1.2.1). But the issue happens even when loading the save without any mods at all. Of course in that case everything is broken, but those pipes shouldn't look like that as they're not even the ones adjacent to removed entities

This appears to be related to the Valves 2.0 mod - if I keep valves on 1.2.1 then the issue does not occur.

If you want to play with the new valve prototypes then check out the Valves mod ! It now uses the new prototypes provided by the game engine. Additionally it allows you to easily configure the threshold in-game for every valve you place (based on some default settings), whereas the vanilla valves has ...

... casting recipe active and you want to change away from that recipe: it will not change until the input fluid is empty, which needs one more set of valves/pumps. Because of these kind of edge cases, I gave up that general design.

... crash whether the blueprint is in the blueprint library or I'm pasting from the clipboard. The crash also happens consistently every time.

The culprit seems to be the Top Up Valve from the Valves mod. I can repro the crash from just copying the valve to clipboard and trying to flip it horizontally.

I'm also running into this bug with the Valves mod. I have three valves (pumps). The one valve has the arrow drawn when selected, but the other two has not because their output connections are linked. From a player's perspective there should be no difference.
