    I'm having some problems with rotarycraft, all my machines,engines and pipes started to flicker and glitch as soon as my reactor (reactorcraft) started to produce steam.
    Auonddon was around and got to see the problem, but just in case I recorded it.



    I'm not sure what is causing it, and if there is any work around this problem.
    Also my Google-fu failed me and i can't find if this is a known problem.

    Edit. i forgot to add that the steam spill started when the condensers stopped working ( at the same time the flickering started)

    You might want to try getting rid of the steam first...huge buildups of it have been known to corrupt chunks and cause massive tps drop and it may be causing the glitches you're seeing

    The Steam build up was caused by the bug.
    The condencers stopped working and i made a hole in the turbine chamber to let it escape before it was too late to do anything ( i had massive fps drop )

    Don't know if this is definitely the cause of your problem but something identical happened with the turbine at my base, and it turned out that the condensers stopped working not because of a bug but because the pipe they were trying to dump water into got backed up (couldn't accept enough water fast enough) .

    We fixed it by adding a fluid void from ExtraCells onto the water line coming out of them to accept any excess that the rest of our system couldn't accept.

    I have a void pipe connected to them as i don't recycle the water.
    And when i say stopped working, i mean they didnt connect to the pipes and started flickering like the rest of the rotarycraft machines.
    All the steam problem is a side effect of that.

    Update: The Pebble bed Reactor does not trigger the issue and it seems that is not related to the liquid pipes ( rotarycraft ) or the turbine, steam grate or condencer.
    The only thing that i changed is the reactor type itself.

    This comes from the steam which raises up. Have you tried it in the singleplayer?

    I did, and I could reproduce the issue there. So i'ts not server specific as far as i can tell.
    Should i set the thread as fixed ( it looks like its a mod issue and not server related )?

    I should add that still happens in SP in a fully enclosed turbine but with enough space for the steam to wiggle around before being picked up by the condensers so that might be the actual problem. The turbine that i'm using now it's really tight and the steam has no freedom to move.
    But, i would love if any Admin or Co-Admin can checkup my base. It still looks like i'm causing some TPS drop as when i'm around the TPS goes down to 15/16 ( I really hope i'm not doing something stupid ).
    I will be around tomorrow night but the coords to my base are on the screenshot just in case.

    Also thank you all for your help and input.

    You could report it to the mod devolper if it is not already known or fixed.
