Industrialcraft Pumps erode riverbed?

Title: Industrialcraft Pumps erode riverbed?

Version: 3.1.2

OS: Windows 7?

Java Version: 7

Description of Problem:

I placed down some industrialcraft pumps with redstone engines on my friend's Tekkit server and walled them off so they had a nice infinite water source to pull from. This was near a river. Within about 30 minutes however, the pump (I can only assume) started destroying blocks all along the river... even with the walls in place. It eventually ate the walls, destroyed some piping, and even ate through obsidian and bedrock the admin placed to control the damage. I've never heard of them doing this before and never had this issue in singleplayer.

We are at a loss here and the beautiful landscape (and the admin) are suffering for it. lol

there's no ping on the console and no error messages or crashes... it's just... distructive. oO;

I placed down some industrialcraft pumps with redstone engines...

Wait, wha...?

[Xylord]

I don't even.. I... Wha...

The IC2 pumps started eating the bedrock using the power of redstone engines... The world has come to an end...

There are far too many impossibilities and contradictions in this story. Screenshots of the aftermath please.

[NinjaStyle]

I remember seeing something in tekkit able to eat bedrock, is it this? Screenies please.

I'll see if I can get some. Assuming my admin hasn't relocated my entire project to the desert by now. haha

And yes... all of your reactions... I had them too. my whole server came and stared at this strangeness.

Image heavy to show the erosion.

Started with this: I have two sets of pumps along the river. (Yes I am aware my machine could be MUCH more streamlined.) The giant sandbars were apparenly placed by the admin last night to keep damage to a minimum. I turned the pumps on and waited a while for them to warm up.

Upriver the damage has started...

Within a half dozen more cycles I had this: (apparently admin left some bedrock under there)

I have a few in between screencaps of that mess... but I left them out cause this is already image heavy.

Now for Downriver aftermath. Downriver tends to be a bit less dramatic for some reason, but it was pulling water from the OTHER side of the sand bar... Dunno why.

While adding in an erosion factor to the pumps may have sounded like a cool idea.... this is a bit insane to keep under wraps. I had this system running for an hour or so last night and it had botched up the current for the ENTIRE river.

Okay, that's not an IC2 pump - it's a BuildCraft pump. It has to be, or it would never run off Redstone engines. Second, BuildCraft pumps extract source blocks from...quite a ways away, so that would explain the currents being screwed up. I'm guessing BuildCraft logic saw the river as one solid water body even though the sand got added (note to self: keep that in mind). What I'm not understanding is how it's removing the sand as well. It shouldn't be able to do that.

Doh... there's way to many mods. I kinda guessed on what mod it was from. When I placed it in the first place there was a cobble barrier around each pump that cut off a 3x3 area. it ate those first thing. Then wood, sand, dirt, obsidian, and finally bedrock. But this is definitely a bug though right?

BuildCraft pumps eating non-liquid material, including bedrock...yes, I would say that's a bug. :D

[NinjaStyle]

Just for fun, if you hook up a normal pipe to it, will it output the broken blocks?

Bedrock reactor housing...

[Pepper]

nope... tried that, tho, it does mess up the flow of water when it pulls a block instead of water.

[D3matt]

That's... Very strange. Definitely a bug. Can you reproduce it with another pump elsewhere on that server (or on a different server)?

[familydad1]

That happens if you place a block down where the water block use to be while having the pump run... this is pretty common sence to figure out don't you think?

[Dragonsnight]

this is Strange... Maybe they are pumps that pumps solid blocks too, maybe they are stronger than you think

Its just how the pump is coded, it was told to make said amount of water in the buildcraft term while destroying the source block that was the target. not a bad coding just alittle lazy thats all :P
