Could you maybe add a small pump back in... less power than the vanilla, of course, but anything a bit above normal pipe flow rate would be sweet in a 1x1 package. The new pump is freakin' huge.

There seems to be an issue with straight pipes in blueprints, as they have four directions but two of them look and behave identical, but they still don't match for the blueprint placing logic and thus are shown as red. IIRC Factorio fixed a similar issue with storage tanks.

Second: Could you add a + pipe?
I know that it function wise does not do anything different that a normal pipe, but as it keeps its outlets visible even if nothing is connected it is easier to see where the joints of the blueprints are supposed to be.

And last: Could you change the order of the pipes to straight, curved, T-cross (and +-cross)?

This can be achieved if you add the order to the items:
Vanilla: order = "a[pipe]-a[pipe]" (as is)
Straight: order = "a[pipe]-a[pipe]-a"
Curved: order = "order = "a[pipe]-a[pipe]-b"
T-Cross: order = "a[pipe]-a[pipe]-c"

See base/prototypes/item/demo-items.lua for reference.

Hello, big fan of this mod. I would like to make a suggestion though, could a "hardcore" mode be added where they replace the vanilla universal pipes entirely, don't revert when picked up and add a 4 way junction? So that, if you wanted to turn corners into T junctions or straight pipe into a four way you'd need to recycle them back to iron and make them again.

Hello, any chance to review the pump recipes? in 0.16 an engine unit is needed for vanilla pump. Can you adjust your pumps to mach that dificulty/tier/level/whatever ?
You can make them require a vanilla pump, or just the engine unit
