Additional pipe controlls

Post by Woodmn »

Basically I would like a 1 way pipe that works entirely on pressure (if liquid on input > output, flows. if liquid on output > input, stops) and could possibly be toggled like the switch between 1 way mode and 'normal' pipe allowing for more simple steam batteries or even just valves that work like a pipe version of the electrical switch. The other would be for 'straight' pipe, that is pipe that only connects at 2 ends so you can have multiple liquids flowing next to each other without needing a ludicrous number of underground pipes.
A medium sized pump that acts like the small pump but with better liquid throughput could also be good as an alternative to the new valves.

Insulated pipes that lose temperature more slowly could also be nice should a water+nuclear reactor = steam, steam + generator = power, system be adopted for nuclear power.

Note: I already know that you could technically build these valves using small pumps + circuitry but these pipes could be an early game alternative for the controlled movement of liquids.

Oh and customizeable splitters that you can change ratios and how items are split onto the belt would be nice.
