Salt water geyser and tile pressure damage

Inner tiles are made out of ceramic and outer tiles are sandstone. Oxygen in the room is at 800g.

Any thoughts? Change wall material? Add a third layer? Why is it even happening?

You created a waterfall pump that can create "infinite" pressure. It is a very usefull thing but I guess it is not something you wanted ;-)
It is created when 2 different types of gases occupy space where some liquid falls. I guess you have trapped there some CO2. You can now use it for your adventage - replace insulated tiles with airflow tiles or manual airlocks and you can create infinite salt water storage.

Here is a similar thing I use to store water:

How is there even that much salt water in that tile? You haven't forcibly confined it so it should only be around 1000kg.

A guaranteed way to avoid pressure damage is to make a layer of airflow tiles in the middle, but I also don't know how you've got pressure like that - geysers should flood/go overpressure before that happens. Very curious.

Interesting. I checked and I do in fact have a bit of CO2 in there. So, my options are either switching to airflow tiles or try to get rid of CO2, got it. Thanks.
