Gas Spacefarer input port randomly stops working - lethal to automated space mining

inverse situation, but most likely the same bug:

My mod "Rocketry Expanded" has a fix for it built in

Chiming in to say I've encountered this as well. It went away after reload so I didn't capture a repro scenario.

I also have seen this bug and the resulting dead duplicants because the port is not venting to space properly. I have also seen this randomly start to work as the rocket moves through space. I don't understand it; there appears to be no rhyme or reason to the port working.

there is a reason for it:
due to a bug in the implementation, all rocket interior ports share their "is allowed to dump material" parameter.

 

this bug changes the behavior of every rocket port  in all rockets, each time a singular rocket lands on a planet or goes to space:

- "going to space" leads to ports in landed rockets leaking if the outside pipe is blocked,

- "landing" leads to ports of flying rockets no longer dumping materials.

 

loading a game sets all ports to the state of whatever rocket initialized last, potentially "fixing" this
