Liquid in cell inflates and then corrupts

Just a quick note that the number given in the tooltip could be erroneous (see https://forums.kleientertainment.com/klei-bug-tracker/oni/mass-numbers-displayed-in-tooltips-can-have-10-which-is-greater-than-9-r33766/ ). The value given in the "properties" tab when clicking on the liquid seems more accurate.

 

Yes, possibly. But 2 cycles later the number gets corrupted and that is likely because it grows too large. There may be some check or test in place because it never seems to change again after getting corrupted. That check is not really working though.

I guess this is an untested edge-case. To be fair, without the liquid inflation I would not have hit the amount were it corrupts. The 4 distillers only create 1.2t per cycle, so getting there would have required something like 1M cycles or so and I am at 10k.

This requires two bugs to trigger. I also think that the vertical infinite liquid storage may somehow be different from a horizontal one and that triggers the inflation.

Just had this happen to me.

Build U41-498381-50

Also a vertical infinite liquid storage with Polluted Water. I didn't end up waiting for it to loop, but it did get up to 200,000T of water before I noticed. I was able to kill the bad the blocks by building airlocks on all the liquid spaces. Game seems like it's ok again, but we'll see. I've moved a saved copy of the game outside the save folder, so ping me if you want it. Was only around Cycle 550, so it wasn't a huge run before it failed.
