Satisfactory fluids bug! How to fix it!

Hey!
Today we are talking about the current fluids bug and how to fix it.
Then taking a quick tour over my fuel power plant.
Hope you guys enjoy.

Tips to troubleshoot fluids!

1) Check how pipes are being cut (as shown in the video)
2) Check for head lift issues. Remember that buffers or valves reset head lift. Placing a pump on the pipe, and locking the hologram helps you see where the head lift ends.
3) Avoid using valves. Valves only work properly if the system is absolutely filled up. If it's not, it wont work as expected. This is not a bug, this is how valves actually behave.
4) Never mix two different types of pipes in the same system. Either all mk1 or all mk2
5) Avoid doing huge systems. Imagine you have 8 coal generators and 4 water pumps. Instead of joining all of the water pumps into 1 pipe, and then dividing that into the 8 coal generators, just do 4 independent system. (each water pump connecting to 2 coal generators)
6) Let the system fill up! This helped me several times. Meaning, activate all of your generators (like water pumps), and de-activate all consumers (like coal generators). Wait until the whole system, including all of the pipes is absolutely filled up. At that point all of your generators will stop working because they have nowhere to pump the liquids. Once then, start turning on your consumers. This makes the system start with proper pressure throughout all of your pipes and helps fixing problems.
7) Always try to build from top to bottom. Meaning, try to have the liquids going down instead of going up. Water towers are a way of doing it. Anyway, this is mostly related to the head lift tip.
8) Avoid having dead-ends in your system. Always try to design loops so that the liquid keeps on flowing instead of bouncing at an end.

Finally, the last one (which I don't like and so far, never had to implement) is never use pipes at full capacity. Meaning, it's tempting to be able to pump 600 oil, but well, maybe set it up at 580 and design accordingly.
