I upgraded my crafting altar to tier 5 (52 runes of superior capacity, 32 speed runes, and 20 runes of dislocation). The moment I dropped my final beacon, my altar became a sink. Nothing inside, but it consumes all the blood that's put into it so its always at zero.

It's possible the runes of capacity also affected the internal buffer that it uses to output to tanks and such. Leave it running/filling for a bit and if it's still a sink, you might have a problem.

It's draining to the internal buffer.

facepalm of course. I checked it with the sigil of sight. and it's filling the tanks. It's gonna take a while. It'll be about 140,000 LP in total.

I'm pretty sure the technical term for that is a "Metric Crapton of Blood"
