Thank you for the additional info.
I've tried it as you described. I had hoped the description would be specific enough, but alas, it does not occur for me.
Might still be something mod-specific, though. Even QoL mods can collide. Or it might have to do with the placement of the wells. Might also matter if it's with or without space age. Or depend on which researches you've finished. So many variables, .. even when (mostly) vanilla.
Can you please share a save with which I can reproduce it?
