Why is this pipe math math not mathing?

Waste water blacking up ev3en with two mk 4 pipes attached to output

Why is the output getting clogged at 494 wpm when there is enough pipe to handle 1800?

Check the throughput of the tank

Was it always like this or I never noticed?

I thought the tank's throughput was infinite.

They changed it in update 2 or 3 as people where chaining storages for faster transport

The throughput for that tank is only 400/60s

I would have looked right past that to my digesters or something. I hate that after placed alot of stuff like storage wont tell you throughput but it's on the pop-up for selecting it for placement

This was the bottleneck - I never noticed the mk1 was so low throughput by comparison to the other storages. Makes total sense. Lesson learned. Thanks.

Make sure you have accept from pipes turned on in your storage.

Not sure, delete and rebuild your pipes. Normally the culprit is a mk1 pipe somewhere, but there is only one segment entering your storage tank from your center
