When you drop a chem plant (possibly other items) it sucks a considerable amount of (>100) fluid before a selection is made.
Excuse me if this has already been reported.

Re: [0.9.1] Chemical Plants Draining Fluid Before On Placeme
I tried to reproduce this, but without a success. Also the way how it is programmed is such that it should do pretty much nothing (liquid wise) before it has a recipe. So could you please provide either a save or a bit more step-by-step instructions.

Sorry for the lack of save, I thought it would be easy to replicate.
I am running 0.9.1 and did apply the hotfix, but I think it's relevant without the hotfix as well.
If the chem factory points north, the bottom left input drains fluid before a recipe is selected. The bottom right input does not drain much fluid (if any at all).

oh, that already dropped chem factory doesn't do it.... I find that you need to drop another one.

Thanks for a nice video I know what is the problem now and it will be fixed for 0.9.2. When I was testing I was connecting the chemical plant to the storage box and there it might not manifest the error (depends on the position of the storage box and fluidbox and it has to do with the internal logic of moving the fluid around).
