Cannot placepipe between boilers / update-related issue?

[Quax]

Hi all,
haven't played Factorio for a while. After doing the upgrade yesterday, I found out that the pipes between my boilers where missing??? Attempting to replace them, I discovered I can't. When placing the pipe between two boilers, it turns yellow and cannot be placed.

Judging the fact that the update obviously "killed" parts of my factory - are ther any more issues with the latest release? I haven't had the time to check every single piece of my factory so far for any missing parts ....

Thx
Peter

Boilers are now 2x3, old saves are broken. You have to tear down all your boilers and build them again.

Wow. You have been gone for a while. Welcome back! Boilers were redone quite some time ago. I hope this doesn't discourage you, the game has gotten better.

Thanks .. well no that doesn't discourage me at all I recognized that a lot of things had been replaced, as there was some kind of popup stating what has been changed / replaced.
