Request (Done) - Add a second pipe connection to Angel's Flare Stack

Would anyone be willing to do that?

The issue is that there is only a pipe connection at the left of the 2×2 building. Meaning that if you use a 3×3 chemical plant for instance, and want to burn the gas at the right, it will fit perfectly. But if you want to burn the gas at the left, the Flare Stack will poke out to the left.

Visually, it's not exactly elegant, but practically, if one were to use something like GDIW to permutate outputs, and flip a blueprint, the whole thing would have to be modified to fit the pipes connections of the Flare Stacks.

I'm requesting it here since I suppose that if Angel made it like that, he might have his reasons.

Thanks in advance if anyone takes up this request.

Can you draw what you have and what you want.

Left: what I have.
Right: what I want.

Hope that's clear enough.

I agree that it can be quite annoying to only have the input one the one corner. I made a small edit to the flare stack to add in that extra input. You can copy the attached archive into the angelspetrochem mod archive file and it'll overwrite the relevant file. No graphics edits but it works.

Didn't expect any graphic edit to begin with. I mean, given the purpose of the edit, it will be hidden behind something anyway.

Thanks a lot!
