Fluids are outputting their inputs

Post by Psyberius »

I was recently working on Fulgora and noticed that some of my Electromagnetic Plants were jammed due to incorrect fluid inputs, upon replacing the pipes and machines they would jam again whenever the output fluid for one machine ran dry due to being consumed in another machine. This caused the Electromagnetic plant to output one of the input fluids, I tried breaking and replacing the pipes but it would always have 0.0 of the wrong fluid coming out. When I changed the circuits to disable the machines unless theres over a certain amount of fluid in the system the problem went away.

This was only noticed on machines in which I changed the inputs via the new fluid input swapping.

As you can see the one machine making the science packs is attempting to input Holmium fluid despire there being no attached output of it, The above Electrolyte Machine was causing that, It repeated with Heavy Oil upon being replaced untill I did the circuit automation to disable the science pack machine unless there was over 1k Electrolyte in the tank

The Heavy Oil causing the same issue

Hello, this is the same as viewtopic.php?f=23&t=117336

At some point you connected a different fluid to one of the machine inputs and it now has that fluid in it. You can open the pipe GUI and flush it, or remove and reo-place the machine.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Hello. I would like to second that this is not the case. I just placed an Electromagnetic Plant (with the recipe of Electrolyte), THEN connected all the pipes to it with the required fluids. As soon as I run out of Holmium Solution (my current bottleneck), the heavy oil will then start to come out of the electromagnetic plant in minimal quantities, just enough to occupy the entire holmium fluid pipe network I have (the pipes will become Heavy Oil pipes, and the tanks will fill up with just 2.4 heavy oil), all the way back to the storage tanks just outside of the holmium solution chemical plants I have.

I have attempted to fix this issue for several hours to no avail. Pipes are not intersecting or touching. It will only work until the holmium solution runs out, then the plant spits heavy oil into the line. There is no point in the line where heavy oil is touching the holmium pipe network. This is still a bug in 2.0.14. I can no longer progress on Fulgora.

Here's a video for proof as well.
