0.17.74 undergroung fluix mixing when replacing light oil pipe

Post by ultanna »

Hi there, i just found an annoying bug. When replacing a light oil pipe to add a pump i had the mized fluid popup preventing me to place the last underground pipe. I then replaced all the pipes to ensure there was no mixing possible and still got that message.

Not a bug

This is prevention for some fluid mixing cases (like 74116) that were here because of engine limitation (most likely not existing anymore after deferred pipe fix was added in [0.17.70]). This alert is raised when building underground pipe that would connect to fluid system that already contains blocked underground somewhere.

You need to find where this blocked underground is and fix it. It will look like undergrounds above (red boxes between pipe-to-grounds are always rendered in case of blocked underground, no need to hover mouse). Consider it a game mechanic that only 1% of players will ever find :)
