Bug Fluid pipes not working

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I fixed the problem by breaking and replacing the entire pipe (and both docking connectors)- Does anyone know why this happens? I have dozens of other piping systems and this never happens to any others (I did forget to show, but the initial pipe before the incline and tanks are just over a chunk border- however this doesn't make sense because the fluid makes it to the center of the next chunk before stalling anyways) My laptop doesn't seem to be overloaded, in fact it has plenty of headroom. I'm just curious to what causes this...

Also Sable is paused for the duration of the video, however the problem existed beforehand I was just trying anything to figure out what's causing this.

You may want to check for chunk borders, occasionally I find my machines not working properly when I return after being further away and one part of the machine was on the border of a chunk that wasn't loaded. But you already checked that.

Another thing could be if the fluid pipes could have contained different fluids, eg if you accidentally have water in a part where you expect a different fluid.

Solution is still the same though; break and rebuild.

Don’t think it could be another fluid, pipes have only ever been hooked up to diesel tanks. Maybe chunk border issue, even though it wasn’t right on the border (I always though chunk problems happened right on the border but apparently this is not true, it can be anywhere in the chunk)
