Fluid loss on moving BC tanks
Not sure why, or if it's tanks or pipes yet. I just built a loop that empties from a tank and fills it back up, then moved it back and forth.
Does this still happen if you build the same setup rotated 90 degrees? What if you move the engine elsewhere adjacent to it?
I'm guessing this could be caused by saving a pipe that has received fluid but hasn't saved the change.
I can't find any good details on it, but it looks like Buildcraft uses multithreading for some things. That could make this a concurrency bug, which would make it very difficult to deal with.
I'll try a bit more to replicate it. (Edit: I've successfully replicated the problem.)
I put some water in a tank and moved it, and the tank was empty when placed down. It's definitely the tanks.
I'd guess it's something a bit like the problem with Carpenters' Blocks, resetting the TileEntity.
Looking over the Tank code, I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I have been playing with the fluid system to make ABO reinforced pipes better (I did, thanks), and there is no multithreading anywhere in there. I'm going to build a different type of test rig to see if it's a different kind of issue.
Ok, I can confirm it is not an update or rendering glitch. The fluid is destroyed.
not to sound derpy or anything, but I've noticed most Tanks and Containers like to save Fluid info in the .withTag() Meta, and I didn't see anyone mention it yet, but, have y'all ensured that you are checking for, grabbing, saving, and re-applying, said Meta to the Tank Blocks that you're moving?
