[1.1.101] Fluid structure build order can affect throughput
Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2024 6:26 pm
In the case of using pumps to achieve high throughput 3000+ there are some abnormalities.
When converting 2 pipes of 3000 p/s to 1 6000 p/s line, the order of placement can't result is only 4800 fluids being moved.
Note the throughput of 4800
This screenshot was taken after just removing and then placing back the left pump.'
This will again change back to 4800 if the bottom pump is removed and placed back.
I would personally expect the throughput to always be 3000 per pump, as separately this is also the case.
For testing this issue a mod for generating and removing liquid was used, however this issue can also be observed without mods. just more complex to demonstrate in an image
