Thanks! I just got the airleak sound issue fixed! Going to see if I can figure out what's going on with the solar panels next... I've definitely seen that happen at least once before.
As for loosing water when you pickup the supply tanks... that's something I kind of just hadn't really considered. What should probably happen, is that it should try and auto-transfer the water into any other water storage tanks attached to your base - then whatever doesn't fit would just be lost. Not sure I want it to all just get dropped back in the form of ice (or as a whole ton of water bottles)... but I'm open to suggestions! Empty water bottles / buckets that you can fill from it?
