Oil well releasing water

Hi if you don't mind can you post the save file?  Thanks!

Been trying to get it to reproduce but it was being a pain as it did happen again but I was not watching it at the time, and when I reloaded the save it never happened while I was watching it. I have also noticed that the power is not working correctly, where the wells will turn off saying there is no power while the well next to it keeps on running and the power lines show there is power. Back on topic, I have managed to get it to reproduce. I rebuilt the original well that it was happening on and it does it every time. The well that is focused on in the save when the save is loaded is the one to watch, if it doesn't do it by itself disable the well to reproduce it.

Ferrets Fun Cycle 522.sav

when the well is not operative it absorbs the surrounding heat increasing the temperature of its contents, in this case water that becomes steam and then condensate outside the well creating water, in this case in particular even if you have a vacum the well itself generates heat and doesnt have anywhere to dump it so its contents absorbs it and once again creates steam, this is just me guessing and assuming tho but you might want to monitor the temperature of the well's content and its ammount when no power is on.

its a known "feature", at least for some player.

What is being said in the video kind of makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that what with Ruby asking me to supply a save, Klei did not know about it but yet Francis John obviously knew about it as he made a video on the subject, but it looks like he couldn't be bothered reporting it as a bug which obviously it is.

the reason they asked for your saved file is to doublecheck if it was a bug caused by the recent update or just a feature working as intended, how can you be mad that they are putting extra effort into double checking possible bugs???

also if the game has a feature in wich duplicants operating skills reduce the chance of steam appearing due to faster machine operation how can you say they didnt know about it??? they implemented a feature related to it, so how could they not know about it?

if a machine stops working it stops releasing heat, if it stops releasing heat but its surroundings are hotter than the actual machine AND its content is only logical that the system will tend to equilibrium by rasing the machine (and its contents) temperature, if anything i agree that it could be fine tuned so that the duplicants operation skill decreases the chances of that happening even more than it actually does, i have several dups with 25+ points of machinery and i still get some steam here and there, yet its as easy to fix as to add a gas filter and boom problem solved.
