Juno: New Origins | Attaching tether to literally anything replenishes Astronaut's backpack

Something I was weary of reporting because I figure the tether wasn't really meant to be a proper thing, but since it is in game, and quite useful I might add, I decided to report this one.

Steps to reproduce:

Spawn and make sure you are controlling an astronaut
Go first person mode
Tether to any object (ground, fuel-less fuel tank, detacher, other astronaut, etc.)
Notice in FLIGHT VIEW that the fuel for active stage is going up no matter what you're connected to.

Today I learned that Droods have mastered the technology to make infinite fuel from any source. Man! Sometimes I wish we knew how to do here on earth.

Bug Done Found in 0.9.0.0 Fixed in 0.9.202.0

@Mod Yep, you're right...you could refuel from anything. I have a fix for that done. Thanks!

Edit - That was fixed in commit: 531f01e69141ab1b1b2fb33f1222573a99ccb9c9

@PhilipTarpley Mine seems to be re-fueling the Astronaut when grappled to the ground. Hadn't actually though about trying the runway or building surfaces yet..

Draining fuel from the source would be a good idea. Also, I like the idea of the conversion, but I feel as though that might make getting resources for the Astronaut too easy in a way. Would it be possible to only allow the Astronaut to drain fuel from something like a... Monopropellant tank?

This is actually by "design" currently. Also, just to clarify, it does not re-fuel if you grapple the terrain or a building, etc. I suppose the most obvious way to address this is to have the astronaut drain fuel from whatever it's tethered to, that way it isn't infinite. The astronaut currently uses a different type of (hidden) fuel, though. To make things easier, should it be able to drain any type of fuel and "convert" it to Jetpack fuel?
