heat deletion in UpdateLiquid() when liquids "fall"

I'm having a bit of trouble parsing your setup.  I might just be tired, but maybe a video could help?  Or a save game where it is set up beforehand?  I would love to experiment with it and learn more.

Sure.  I attached a save file: (maybe it doesn't work?).

 

The setup is:

Cell 1: 200kg of petrol @ 100C.

Cell 2: 100kg of petrol @ 0C.

Cell 3: vacuum (with reservoir below)

We should expect the weighted average temperature once they settle into that little reservoir to be 66.6C (yes?).  But if you try it oriented left- and right (as above -- there's nothing else) you'll get different answers.

Or if you get the same answers, I want your save file!

The point is: when fluids flow off a ledge to the right with a temperature (as well as mass) gradient, they delete heat.

Oh, it worked, my brain just filtered it out because it was right next to the player log I never look at.  Thanks for the video!

I should add: SpawnFallingLiquid is called in three places (in certain circumstances, below; to the left; to the right).  It also does things related to disease count (not my main issue, so I didn't look too closely).  But all three should be looked at, of course.
