Just noticed this strange behaviour when it comes to the liquid portals, i have a setup near geysers to pull any liquid solids and unwanted gasses out of the

for the liquid one i want it to pull liquids out once they reach a certain volume of liquid using automation, however when it is disabled it completely disables the building from outputting its collected load.

not sure if this is intended or not , or if im misunderstanding how automation works or the portals work
