What
My mod uses a modified offshore pump to output crude oil. The entity has been deep copied from base, and had its fluid type changed to crude-oil.
Bug
When the offshore pump is placed it has a water output. Placing a pipe after it then changes the output to crude-oil.

This allows the pump to be connected up to a water network, despite being a crude-oil output. The entire fluid network then shows crude-oil as the name but with blue fluid inside. When a new pipe is placed, it then changed the entire network to water, including the offshore pump, which should only output crude-oil.

Fix
The offshore pump should respect and lock to its own fluid value set in data.lua.


Initial Placement, showing water as output.


Added Pipe to output. Changes fluid to Crude-Oil.


Offshore Crude Oil Pump connected to water network, showing fluid name as Crude-Oil, fluid colour as blue.


Added Pipe to network, now showing name as water, has changed Offshore Crude Oil Pump to water output.

Line 2604: You should propably override that with "crude-oil". Not sure if it completely solves the issue but seems potential.

This is correct,
