Clean water breaks purifer

[Thisiscotty]

Hello,

I was trying to reprocess some water that had some clean sections, but was dirty at the bottom.

Once the pump got clean water, it damaged the purifer. I do understand the logic, but i think its a little silly that it would damage it.

The water would just go though with nothing done to it surely?

Not really, one could the argue that it is true for other things and that is a downward spiral. If you have a mixed source, you have to setup a filter or suffer consequences.

Some exceptions from general rules might be good.

Once again, not really. You would only be creating a confusion when does it apply and when not. Now you have it simple - provide a correct source or it will break down.

In game mechanics maybe. if it is intended.

But in this specific case it is stupid.

Game are based on the real world and quite "sim-y". It just makes no sense.

Having a partitioned power grid makes no sense in reality and still it is in game. It's a game mechanic and chosed for some reason. In the case of input I would argue simplicity.

I'd rather they just went back to the water purifier destroying the pure water instead. It's more funny.

But OP as it didn't use sand doing so. Destroying water efficiently is important in TU
