The new Pump and HD pipes are a pice of art - thank you indeed.
When it will come true?
And what about the WIKI?

Have you tried std::unordered_map? Or do you really need the sorting? If you tried it, care to share the result in comparison with the other two?

[Pe334]

Are their any plans to integrate somthing like Teamspeak in this game or an integrated Teamspeak-Overlay?

Btw nice pumps&pip

See you ...

[RiotGearEpsilon]

Will we still need 5 parallel pumps in order to fully saturate a pipe?

[keyboardhack]

Amazing optimizations. This will allow people to make even more amazing combinator setups!

[Mengmoshu]

What will happen if I have the current 1x1 pumps in a save when I update to whatever version contains the 1x2 pumps? I'm hoping for something like leaving the old entity in until the player removes it, and dropping the new pump when they do.

New graphics is amazing
Can't wait to get my hands on it (8GB VRAM GPU awaits).

I don't personally know, but I would guess the same as with turrets when going from 0.11 to 0.12 - both pumps will be there, the graphics will just look broken as they will be partially on top of each other.That way the save compatibility is technically kept, and you can fix it if you like.

Those pipes and pumps are delightful, well done art team.

I played a few rounds of the challenge but it was all very hectic and exhausting for an older chap like me. Support for scenarios is great though and I hope to see a lot more in the future. With surfaces, multiple starting points and teams, the tools exist for modders to go nuts.

You quoted the wrong post ya dingus!

[V453000]

Yeah, sorry, already fixed

[Bi0nicM4n]

Hm. New pump definitely looks amazing, but as it's 2x1 tiles now, can we paste it on regular pipes as with earlier pump?

[KrzysD]

the pipes and pump are the most delicious eye candy I've seen in a LONG time! and the optimization, a lot of other indie game devs could learn a lot from you guys!

What bout the wiki?

[Drizak]

The new pipes and specially the pumps are just awesome, congrats!

[Xeteth]

Oh wow, I'm glad my build was of use in optimising! Amazing stuff as always devs

Hi,

Is there a bug on the right side in the middle? Why do the two pipes not connect? Was there some change too?

: )

This is a preview, it's aimed to show all the positions of the pipes,
no bugs, no worries. (yet?)

I am so excited for .15!!
Those new graphics are amazing.
I love all of you <3

Thank you for making the game I got up at 3:40am to play for a few hours before work today! <3
