Short Circuit / Max Depth - Possible Bug

Logged in today (maybe an hour ago per this post) and found the original circuit, that has been working since day 1 of this wipe, has stopped working and is generating the same max depth/short circuit error shown in my previous post. Can confirm that all test circuits made elsewhere continue to work normally, this is definitely a localized issue and is disrupting our (and others) game play on survival.

Re-introducing the Water Barrels (Which Sweet Tooth told us was 'over complicating' the circuit) has restored functionality at a cost of more space in our base, which we now have to plan for next wipe as we can't trust that the water mechanics will work properly.

Any indication on if this bug is on the radar at all?

Hey Mate,

We're load balancing the water for optimization. An original goal is to reduce the imprint and power requirements which can also have a positive impact on the server by placing less. 3 Pumps can happily power 12 sprinklers and each of our 'circuits' use 6 sprinklers now. So we need 1.5 pumps per module of 6 sprinklers to work perfectly.

We also have the issue of, on an almost daily basis, logging in to sprinklers not actually adding water to planters despite the animation going. So without a fluid switch to toggle it off and on again each day, we'd have to rewire each day which is an unacceptable fix to us. This is also a server issue that we've worked around.

To be clear, the circuit shown above (as mentioned) is well under the max depth. And in the test, wasn't even a complete circuit. The max depth circuit was shown when it was Pump (x3) into a combiner. That's only a depth of 2. Even at it's max it goes into a max of 5 components pre-sprinklers. (Pump > Combiner > Switch > Splitter > Pump > Sprinklers)

Finally, I have demonstrated that this works on vanilla Rust, I took time out of my day to record the above videos as evidence that I built them legitimately and didn't use any mods to try to fake it. This works elsewhere, it just doesn't work on RustEZ. Weirdly, we can build one circuit in full at the start of wipe and it will work for 1.5 to 2 weeks without issue, but cannot make any additional nearby circuits (Despite being seperate). Then after those 1.5 to 2 weeks, that original circuit fails as well.

The fix at this stage has been to use a water barrel which acts as a circuit reset AND a cache, but also complicates the circuit and potentially adds to the processing that the server needs to do to run, but it's unavoidable at this stage with all the issues we've faced regarding water, and we're not alone - many complain about it.

Currently working perfectly: Water Pump (x3) > Water Barrel (x3) > Combiner > Switch > Splitter > Switch > Sprinklers (x6)
