Hello,

If you connect a storage tank with a fluid between 0 and 1 (e.g. 0.7) to a circuit network and check if the amount of the fluid equals 0, it is evaluated to true. I would expect a fluid amount of 0.7 to not be equal to zero.

Attached is an savegame from a wave defense since it was easy to setup, but I encountered this problem in the normal game too.

Oh sorry. Though rather hard to find with that title )-:

Did the devs ever mention why moving to integer based fluids is not an options?

Because it's not precise enough. double precision floating points aren't precise enough so removing the floating point completely also isn't an option.
