Materials Not Returned When Installing New Tiles

Observation on conservation of materials

I noticed sometime last night that my massive metal stock was suddenly gone and after playing around for a bit I figured out why. When you "deconstruct" a tile of metal it returns materials to available with a very slight loss of mass (i.e. 100kg of metal to make HW wire back to 95kg raw) which makes sense, but when you replace a tile by drawing the stone base tile over it, it disappears entirely! Has anyone else noticed this?  I'd be doing things really differently if I had noticed earlier! I never noticed this in the previous build so I'm wondering if it's been there the whole time or not. Comments are welcome.


Steps to Reproduce
Build a mesh or gas permeable tile. Draw a stone tile over it. Observe when the dupe builds the new tile the old materials don't automatically drop or pop up as usual.



User Feedback


Followup: When you draw pipes through insulated tile the tiles disappear. Similar to the "pressure damage" issue where mesh tiles will break if you put pipes in them.
