The sprite is misaligned in the spritesheet hr-reactor-connect-patches.png: You can see how it's a few pixels down (fourth column) from the other two east-facing ends.

This looks like a mod issue to me: probably the same mod that changes the reactor color. Vanilla reactors look like this:

Those are connected. I am speaking of the disconnected state. The image in the OP is edited to move the two reactors next to each other to more clearly show the issue.

The hr-reactor-connect-patch.png file posted here, where the misalignment is very obvious, is straight out of base/graphics/entity/nuclear-reactor.

How relevant is this if you never see them next to each other in this disconnected state? Just wondering …

The misalignment is with respect to the grid that all heat pipes are aligned to. It's not misaligned to the nuclear reactor specifically. It's a bug, but not a very serious one...

It would be analogous to a pipe cover being 5 pixels down-shifted from the pipe it's trying to cover.

Gonna call this a 'who cares'

Well, if you change your mind, here's the fix which took 60 seconds:

You could release the fix as mod.
I'd be one to download it.

Nah, I saw this when it was first posted and I agree with Kirazy it is a 60 second fix. No reason it can't be fixed in 1.1 IMO. Pride of ownership and all that, at least acknowledge it as a minor issue.
