This bug affects all assembling machine prototypes (when rotatable), Pumps, Fluid tanks and Asteroid collectors.

Mods are required to use Loaders to begin with? The ones available in Vanilla Editor Mode have very obvious "Developer Graphics", just like the other Creative tools (Infinity Chest, Heat Interface, Valves). Depending upon these items in a share-able Blueprint seems like a Bad Idea.

Allow valve prototype to have circuit network connections

As in title. Allow entities of the valve prototype to have circuit network connections, particularly for "Read contents". This would allow valves to do everything that the psuedo-valve tanks of 1.1 could do.
