Reimplement fluid flow parameters for .17

Fluid flow parameters were removed as part of the new fluid system update, but as it's not fully implemented yet, is it possible to bring it back for .17?
I want to make a power system that does not use hidden entities but discourages transport of the powered fluid. I'd assume making the fluid flow like molasses should do the trick.

Even if the flow is as molasses as possible, pumps will still be able to move it with extreme speed, it can still be moved via fluid wagon, etc.
I don't see that it would be a ideal solution for your use case

I'm not saying completely block the player from doing so, just discourage it by needing pumps everywhere to move it. The simplest way to use it would then be to place the generator directly on the fluid producer, which is what I want. Other ways to move that fluid is not a dealbreaker, as long as it's molasses.

I still want some kind of flow parameters to come back. I made use of them in my mods so that certain fluids were harder to flow than others.

+1 for the same reason (encourage fluid consumer where fluid is produced but allowing low-efficiency transport for the stubborn)
Flow speed property for liquid?

I need some more control on the liquid in my new mod.
If there is no way to control the speed of liquid, then I need to make heat pipe( can't remember the name) prototypes and pass different heats, only to make the flowing slow.

Merged with older topic.

A liquid prototype needs only 2 properties. 1 is name the other is flow speed( or any equivalent thing).
The sepatation of different liquids is a very great idea.
If you really add the flow speed function, my "dynamic water" mod could be totally remake with in game pipes. This new way is definitely way faster than the algo in my mod now. The algo now is implemented in lua.
And for my planned mod, the slow liquid could help a lot since if items are replaced by liquid, all the insertors are gone. That is exactly what I want.
So, do it please.
