Liquid Transportation. Bug?

[LordAizen]

This happened in my survival game. No idea what's causing it or how to prevent it.

I see the problem, if you can provide a screenshot I can edit it with paint and show you

The problem is here where I circled in red

 

when you heat up oil into petroleum at first it appears one block above the oil, if there is no space above the oil then it will teleport though solid tiles till it reaches an available space

this bug doesn't happen all the time so I doubt it can be exploited for a refinery build

Thanks! I removed the tile you circled and it's not happening anymore.

but i use this exact same setup elsewhere in my map as well and this doesn't happen. The only difference is the flow rate. In this example, i'm using 7.5 Kg/s and the petroleum transports above the tile, the other same build uses 2.5 kg/s and it works perfectly. I guess the mass of the crude iol converting into petroleum might cause this to happen.

true, if you can figure out the exact flow rate you might be able to exploit the bug to make an effective refinery.
