Hi, I am not sure what you expect is coded to the game: what will happen for now is that the reactor will try to request some fuel from a connected tank, which might be from the docked entity. I guess what you would expect is some kind of a auto-refill: once docked the tank from the docked entity will try to refill from parent one. This would require at least a setting at the level of the docked port, as sometime you might want to refill and sometime dump fuel.

Am I correct?

Ah so that's how it's meant to be. Yeah seems I mislabeled that part of it as a bug and a setting for it would be excellent. The child entity part of the report still seems to be an issue though.
