It seems that every time I test making a power loop with Diamond kinesis pipes they'll seem to fill the loop up turn red and then suddenly look empty. Sometimes only parts look empty while others will stay looking like their red with power, as well it seems that adding or removing pipes from the network the loop is attached to, in some cases fixes the issue, in other's it doesn't. I'll provide screenshots if requested.

Overflow on a call list or something is where I'd point the blame.

Confirmed, but no idea what causes it. And not for lack of trying. ;)

I'll just add that the gate conditionals don't work when the textures go away. A pipe may be overloaded but not showing it, and a gate set to detect it will return negative - it won't even register that power is flowing through the pipe. I've also had pipes appear half full, but when drained they had far more in them than equivalent pipes that are overloaded would.

Interesting, its a server side issue then.

No ownership has been taken on this one over the past 4 months, so I'm closing it. Feel free to discuss further on http://mod-buildcraft.com/forums/index.php?board=2.0, or to find a champion to work on a fix.
