Buffer overflow on salt water packet size with door compressor

"door compressor pump" is evil.

Now you know that you should not use it as it's non intended to be used like this.  

No bug here. 2147483648 is exactly 32 Bit. And if a value reaches max, it flips to negative, and causing all kinds of problems. 

You´ve simply reached a hard limit inside the code. 

This is clearly nothing that get "fixed" anytime soon. You´re using an exploit, that causing the game to hit a hard limit. No need to change anything here. This is the ultimate limit for this exploit. Nothing more, nothing less. 

The game actually keeps track of how much mass is in a tile beyond the 32 bit.

Spoiler

I tried/tested a lot of door pump setups, managed to break all of them somehow.

Ah, yes, no bug. Good code is always written so that if the users reach the hard limit, the program or service crashes to teach them a lesson. Totally intended behaviour.

In fact, somebody else reported a game crash due to the same problem:

Since there is clearly nothing to get fixed here and the devs consider this an exploit to be punished, when the devs responded to the post they laughed at the OP there, told him that his world was lost, told him off for designing a system like that in the first place and that there's no need to change anything.

Oh wait, no, actually, the devs were interested in what made the game crash, looked into his logs and savefiles, and then suggested what to do to be able to continue playing and using that system while they're looking into that behaviour.

There will always be people pushing on the limits of what games (especially sandbox games like this) allow them to do. If something is not an allowed mechanic, it should not be in the game, rather than crashing it, I think.

Would you mind posting the log from the crash? (Here's how to find it if you're unsure!)

Thanks!
