[1.1.19] After rotating 2 connected pumps they begin to work infinitely

[Just_Fun_Gamer]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Place 2 pumps and connect them to fluid.
2. Rotate 1 pump so they are directed from each other.
3. Place 1 pipe at the end of pump.

I found it while was building gas pump line, I tried it at new save file, it happened with water and steam too, so there is no fluid dependency.

They should not work at all, but they are. Flow numbers are different from time to time, I had all 12k/sec at the main save, but at the new save it was 3k-6k/sec.

If I extend the pipe line, I find that it is pumping out the water in its internal buffer, but not "creating" more water. Are you finding that it fills the pipes up with more water than was in the buffer?

It does not create any extra water or any other fluids.

They just steal fluid from the fluid box of each other, I think...

Yes, they are continuously pumping fluid from each-other.

Since this doesn't cause any gameplay issues I can see and it's an obscure thing to build, I consider this a minor issue.

I consider this a minor issue.
