[raiguard][2.0.11] LuaEntity::get_fluid returns wrong value

Consider this storage tank:

Calling `get_fluid(1)` on the entity returns 26,000, not 25,000 :

It seems that the call returns the contents of the pipeline, not of the storage tank.

Same thing happens when calling fluidbox methods, entity.fluidbox.get_capacity(1) for example returns the capacity of the entire pipeline.
Similarly, setting the entity.fluidbox[1] field sets the amount for the entire pipeline instead of just the entity's fluidbox

This is correct. The fluid buffer of the entity is merged with the segment, so it reports the segment values.

Thanks for the explanation!
How does one determine how much fluid is inside an entity? It seems that any call only returns the amount in the whole fluidbox.

Fluids are no longer owned by a given entity so what you're seeing is the actual fluid "in the entity" (all of it). If you want to know what percentage of the fluid in the merged fluid segment you can compare the total segment capacity against the capacity of the specific entity.
