Gas Shutoff Valve appears to be 'eating' gas.

This is both annoying and a possible exploit. The gas shutoff valve appears to be eating gas (instead of it building up in the pipe).

Steps to Reproduce

Place a gas shutoff valve in a line of pipes and have it deactivated. The gas goes into the valve and vanishes.

I was running this for hours and wondering why it was taking so long to get going, I started watching it and noticed the hydrogen was never building up int he pipe.

 

(Note I added the larger loop after hours of it not working, thinking the shortness of the pipe might have been the problem [wanting to add a battery of sorts by making the pipe longer] when I noticed the gas shutoff valve seemed to be 'eating' the hydrogen.

It doesn't vanish. It stops.

That's what the shutoff is supposed to do when you deactivate it: stop any gas from going through. In your case, because the gas is not a full pipe (1000g), it just stays on the input pipe segment of the shutoff valve until the valve is turned on and lets it through. How much hydrogen is that anyway? If it is a too small amount it may as well being deleted but usually inside pipes, gases don't do that

Need a way to say solved or delete the bug. :-/

I'm pretty sure a dev will mark it as "closed" tomorrow but there is also a "hide" button you can click somewhere in the bug report (bottom?) in "bug actions"
