Portals and/or pipes losing particles

    I'm making living creature with blood flowing and stuff, but it stops working because it loses blood in (i guess) portals and pipes. Does someone know how to get it work?

    Please use this: ~ 1590915 (without the space)

    I dunno. For me the particles aren't dropping down. You might be right-clicking (eraser) on the blood.

    No, i dont erase it. And maybe it doesnt drop for you because you didnt see that cloning-machine to get more blood?

    I post new one without it.

    The blood is getting trapped in the portal. An object can enter a portal from 8 directions, but it can only exit from the opposite direction to which it entered, if that pixel is blocked, the object will be trapped until the blockage is removed. In your creature, the blood can enter from 3 directions but only exit from one. A solution to this would be either clearing more space  around the exit portal, or blocking off the bottom 2 pixels on the entry portal.

    Oh, and I almost FORGOT. That when I did get rid of the cloning machine it still didn't drop. Dunno, I fast-forwarded it and it wouldn't do anything else when I got rid of it...

    Also note that matter stored in the portal's internal buffer is not preserved in the saving process, meaning that anything stuck inside the system is lost when you click save.
