Hello there,

I wanted to kickstart my new fusion plant on Aquilo and noticed the following behaviour of a partial frozen pipe: I used a pipe to ground to put a bit of Fluoroketone (cold) into the plants to kickstart the whole thing. Then I noticed "damn I can't get a heat pipe to the end of that underground pipe" and removed it and then the fusion plants seem to suck the fluid out of the frozen pipe part when I remove it by hand. I repeated this a few times and if I do absolutely nothing the fuild won't enter the plants but when I remove the frozen pipe they get a bit of the fluid. See screenshot for a better understanding.

Thanks for the report, but I don't consider this to be a bug. When you remove an entity it runs some logic to push its fluid contents into neighboring entities so that you don't lose the fluid contents. Since this only happens when removing entities, I don't think it's important to prevent this when the entity is frozen.
