If I start laying ceramic pipe, I can do it beyond the point where I run out, but I can't do it again

I have a few tons of ceramic and am laying insulated pipe.

I can do this beyond the point at which I'm out of ceramic.

But if I come along later and try to lay more ceramic pipe, it won't let me select ceramic, because I am out.

I would prefer that I could build with materials that I don't have now but I know I'll have later.

If I can't do that this business of being able to overdraft materials if you start with a positive amount is confusing.

This whole thing is counter-intuitive enough that I'd call it a bug.

A work-around to this problem is to mouse over "ceramic" in the materials list along the right-hand edge of the screen, which gives me an indication as to how in the hole I am.


Steps to Reproduce
See description.

If I have pipe I get to paint a section. It will paint that whole section ceramic.

If I do another line of pipe, it will use some other random rock.

Nobody on Earth would design this this way intentionally. There's no indication that you've run out and there's no indication that your material has changed to something random.
