MarcinW Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Currently when you deconstruct liquid reservoir you get 5t of bottled water. It is easy exploitable to make unlimited liquid reserves in single tile. I know it runs this way will all solid stuff, but liquids management is so nice implemented, that it should not be the case here. I would expect deconstructing full reservoir would spill liquid all around just like it does will all pipes. Or to empty it without spilling you would need pipe emptying skill.

SharraShimada Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 This was obviously a design choice by the devs, to prevent flooding the whole base, breaking tiles by overpreassure, and disabling machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I think it`s to prevent disasters that could happen when a reservoir overheats or the liquid inside boils or freezes. 5t is a lot and it spilling out all at once would be horrible to deal with. Experienced players can deal with it but for newer ones it would be a game ending disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candide Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 This is actually not related to the amount of liquid stored. All buildings call a DropAll function when deconstructed. Anything stored in the component "storage" is dropped, which means that all solids drop as pickups, gases vent into the air, and liquids are put into bottles. Pipes are special, as they don't have this storage component. Instead they use a conduit flow class, which operates differently. Anyway, my point is that there is no special rule for liquid reservoirs. All buildings use the same rule. If you change the rule, then deconstructing a toilet will also spill water. Of course there could be more than one rule, but probably nobody thought this is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowdesign Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 It would be fun to see my High pressure reservoir spill the 1000Ton it holds on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunazone Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I remember the building did actually spill it's contents onto the world when it was first implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
