Turning power off on a Liquid pump blocks liquid flow even if other liquid pumps are plugged.

When I turned off liquid pump power, both side of the pipe emptied slowly. Water was consumed as awaited but no new water entered into the pipe while another liquid pump was already plugged.
Awaited behavior : Water comes from pump #3 an fill the whole liquid pipe.

I first believed there was a mismatch between isolated pipe and normal pipe but they work fine together. Problem seem to come from the electric power shutdown of the first liquid pump.

Mix Liquid Pipe and isolated.sav


Steps to Reproduce
1. Turn on power on interrupter (label "1") 2. Verify the liquid goes to oxygen generator (label "2") 3. Turn off interrupter (label "1") --> the oxygen generator "2" is not watered anymore. 4. Destroy the liquid pipe at point "4" and verify oxygen generator "2" is watered by liquid pump "3"



User Feedback


Yep, not a bug, but just how pipes work. The water coming from your second water pump (#3) will NOT enter the pipe you have it connected to because the behavior is that it will split at that joint and send half to the electrolyzer and half the other way, except water can't go the other way because that pipe is effectively reserved for a one-way water flow by virtue of the other water pump.

For your setup to work as it seems you intend it to, you need to use bridges. Something like this:
