[0.0.8-rc2] Pipe Gates cause inefficiency when not in view

[halcyon merlin]

One of the parts of my machine operates at 100% efficiency when I am looking directly at it but if I zoom out or look at something else it drops to ~75%, and then quickly recovers to 100% once its focused.

All the ratios are correct (2 Mixers, 4 pipe gates, 1 launcher, 4 painters). Issue seems to go away when pipe gates are bypassed. Issue also happens for all of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors

I have cut out part of the machine to make a reproducible case and attached it here. Inputs are 4 belts of any shape and 1 Space Pipe with each basic color RGB on a different level. Desired output color(s) can be controlled using the signal generator at the top

🚑 Your bug report has been verified and is now in the triage phase. We're working to reproduce and fix it.

[halcyon merlin]

this no longer appears to be the case on 0.0.8-RC3, though my pipes are now overbuilt since the throughput was increased. Unsure if underlying bug is still in place with correct ratios

[odd plume]

if u look at one and it fills up this is how much it fill if u don't look

it is ~80% effectives if u don't look

I am on 0.0.8-RC3 and this bug still exists. I tried filling up a fluid tank that was gated. While watching the gate, it took 80 seconds, the expected time based off of the game's tooltips. However when I repeated the experiment while away from the gate, the tank filled in 100 seconds, significantly slower. This is affecting my machines where I am trying the fluid gate, and causing severe inefficiencies.

[odd plume]

for now use 1 or 2 more gates

[warm carbon]

Unfortunately my design has no space for extra gates, since it is utilizing all 12 in/out areas with gates that could potentially be unique.

[odd plume]

what platform u use ? and for how many painters or cystalizers ?

[warm carbon]

It's not a matter of platform size. I'm transferring fluids between platforms and each of the outputs may be different, and must have a single gate.

And by output I mean each individual belt launcher

[odd plume]

can u screen shot ?

[warm carbon]

And it's 1 Launcher supplying 4 Painters, just like the normal ratio

[odd plume]

here u go

[warm carbon]

That looks like it could work. I'll try that.

[odd plume]

same just double gates

[odd plume]

even less wires

[warm carbon]

I'm deliberately keeping the extra wires so it can be reused for Hex version.

[odd plume]

same effect now

u even free 8 lines

[warm carbon]

I intent to reuse this where every different gate could be potentially on or off. The wires are necessary.

[odd plume]

if like this then yes

[warm carbon]

Simplified the design significantly using wire bridges (which I forgot existed for the longest time)

[odd plume]

same 😄

[warm carbon]

Alright, time to test

[odd plume]

with this u get if u don't look 160%

[warm carbon]

Oh yeah this is loads better.

Thanks for the assist! Bug still sucks though.

[odd plume]

yeah this is why i don't touch cmam for now because don't want to remake 2 times

[bold knoll]

I'll just accept 144 speed for now, that's what it ends up as. Don't really want to build in all those extra pipe gates either.

[lone pulsar]

Redesign with double gates fixed the issue for me. Thanks!

[noble current]

pls do fix this

🎉 Your bug report is currently in progress. It's being addressed and worked on.

[hasty ocean]

I'm also seeing this on 0.0.8-RC3. Unwatched vs watched.
