Liquid Valve slowly eats water from non-flowing pipes

rebuild your plumbing line right there, you are bypassing your valve causing an internal valve loop on itself which is causing the appearance of eating your water, seriously, right inside that red box look, your plumbing goes across the valve instead of through it

I know it does. I said so in my description that it was the first step and I know how to circumvent it (rebuild the pipe underneath).

You can mitigate morning lag spikes with door timers on your bedrooms that stagger the dupes access to the base.

They tend to wake up at different times with the work-area doors, which seems to have helped a bit.

I figured out that the high pressure vent building (and other high-tech buildings), even at 9, has a lower priority, so I just had to lower the priority of a bunch of other 9-level things and they finally did it.

Now to figure out the best way to separate water from oil... Slicksters don't convert CO2 to Oil if they're on water...

Pitcher pump with somewhere else set to autobottle water is my shortcut

That would work...  Wastes a lot of dupe time though.

It seems the lag spike just comes from when the game is autosaving each morning. Still happens on my new PC.
