Water flowing through when replacing tiles


Recommended Posts

I was replacing the tiles around my geyser water storage with insulated tiles when I noticed that insulated tiles were being replaced, they leaked water for a fraction of a second.  I do not recall having this problem before.  Is this a bug or have I just been unobservant?  I am playing on the QoL 2 beta branch.

I build a retainer wall and corner-build / corner-out upgrade if I need to absolutely contain something...or move if out of the way.

This involves deconstructing the retaining wall piece by piece, but keeps things contained.

This is normal for so long... maybe you havent noticed yet, but thats normal.

So it used to not be like that and it changed at some point, so I'm not crazy.

I do know how to deal with it, I was just surprised when I was replacing my geyser walls and my people all got covered in boiling water.  My duplicants gave me sad looks and it made me feel bad.

I don't remember it ever changed

I first realized replacing tiles will break a seal when I tried to rebuild an airlock

That was over a year ago

Out of curiosity - did you replace the material as well @Zarquan?

I wonder if it always let's things through or only if you material swap - because I routinely replace hydro hoods tiles sandstone to insulated sandstone and nothing ever escapes.

I do take caution with water.

I tried to convert my water basin floor with airflow tiles ... it ended in broken airflow tiles because water fell into the upgraded tile. Yes, broken by water. This was a long while ago however.

 

It was standard igneous rock and I made it insulated ceramic.  Maybe it is changing tile type that does it, from insulated to regular.  Because I regularly changed out tiles for regular abyssalite tiles back in the day, which is where I got the idea that this was safe.
