[2.0.14] Fusion generators not highlighted in pipeline view

[metabot]

When hovering over a pipe segment, connected entities are highlighted with a border around them to indicate they are part of the segment. This works with all pipe-related entities as for example steam turbines, but not with fusion generators

I just noticed, this does not actually work with all pipe-related entities. Asemblers and the like are not highlighted like storage tanks and steam turbines. So this probably is not a bug? Not sure here. Pipe view for generators would be very helpful though

The fusion reactor itself also gets highlighted. Seems a bit hit-and-miss

I am not going to argue if this is a bug or not, but if you place a boiler with pipes connected to water connection and pipes connected to steam connection, when hovering cursor over water pipes boiler gets highlighted and when hovering cursor over steam pipe the boiler is not highlighted. Afaik this is based on the pipe connections being bidirectional: in that case the fluidbox of the entity becomes part of the segment. If connection is input only or output only then there is a fluid segment boundary and entity on the other side of such connection is now part of a different fluid segment and is not highlighted.
