Insulation thermal conductivity wrong

Insulation says it has a thermal conductivity of 0.000 and if you craft a tile with it it still says 0.000 however the tiles handle heat differently.

At 2 cycles a ceramic insulation tile in direct contact with molten gold is still a flat 20c as it was when sandboxed in. The drywall of insulation is 79.6c.
After the same 2 cycles an insulated tile of insulation is exactly the same.
However a normal tile crafted with insulation, despite having a description of 0.000 TC, is now 33.7c and the drywall is 78.7c.

So a tile that says it has a TC of 0.000 performs significantly worse than a tile that says it has a TC of 0.006.
Please fix the properties of insulation. Either it should have a 0.000 TC or else it should display an actual TC value.

I do not believe this is a bug. For insulated pipes and tiles, the lowest TC is used to determine heat transfer. For all other buildings, such as the drywall, the average between the two is used. This is why the insulated tile made of insulation doesn't change (min[0,6]=0), but the average of insulation and gold (average[0,6]=3) shows a higher transfer of heat. Hope this helps!
