Circuit controlled pipe?

Post by aubergine18 »

Is there a way to control a pipe via a circuit? Specifically, like a tap that allows me to turn flow through a pipe on and off...
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

just place a pump down - done.
Since 0.13.9 also pumps are networkable

you have been able to connect small pumps to circuit networks for a long time, even in the 12x and probably even before

Just remember that pump is 30 fluid/sec (pipe is 150 fluid/sec in best case). Put several pumps in parallel if that's important.
