Pipes are very expensive CPU-wise. Megafactory builds often try to avoid nuclear power because of the CPU burden of the fluid simulation that it adds. This is because a fairly complicated calculation needs to be performed on each pipe, whereas many other things can be optimized with timers and such...

I prefer to work on actual data rather than rumors or hearsay. I probably shouldn't humor you, because the issues are well-documented elsewhere, and your ignorance is showing. Pipes are very expensive CPU-wise. Megafactory builds often try to avoid nuclear power because of the CPU burden of the flu...

I just fired up the game to test fluids 'cause I saw in the last FFF that they said that they no longer had any known bugs or internal tasks. I thought it was odd that they never mentioned the new fluid system. I was disappointed to see that the old fluid system is still there. I didn't realize that...
