I have seen other people report that their terrariums seem to have an infinite need for water so decided to run a colony using them as my primary oxygen source. I gathered all my fresh water into a single reservoir (at one point this amounted to approx. 800,000kg of clean water) and was running 9 terrariums with water being pumped up and dripped onto a terrace with them to auto-water. At the end of cycle 10 I had 741006.5kg of water. At the beginning of cycle 11 I had 720579.5kg
Terrarium expectations: 300g/s, totaling 180kg of water consumed a day. 9 terrariums, so 1620kg a day. Water reserve of 800,000kg should last almost 500 cycles if consumption is correct.
Actual experience: Cycle 18, I have 3402kg of water left.
At the end of cycle 10 I had 741006.5kg of water. At the beginning of cycle 11 I had 720579.5kg, coming out to 20,427kg consumed over 25 seconds (playing at x3 speed). So 20427 / 9 for the 9 terrariums, then divided by 25 to get how much they consume each second comes out to a whopping 90.8kg per second. A far cry higher than 300g/s. Attaching my earliest autosave, cycle 10, though what triggers the infinite consumption I cannot say. I never use them and now I have even more reason to never touch them which is a pity because they could be very useful.
Place algae terrarium. Pump water source so it drips water onto terrarium. Watch water vanish into the void.
A developer has marked this issue as fixed. This means that the issue has been addressed in the current development build and will likely be in the next update.
