[0.15.3] Heat Pipes are overly picky about placement order

Post by Optera »

The way heat pipes update should be reworked. Heat conductivity and max temperature drops massively when placing heat pipes in any other way than from source to drain.
I made 20 tile long test pipes with input nodes all at 1000°C.
After waiting a minute they saturated to their maximum temperatures. Yes, they never went any higher than that.

heat pipe dragged away from reactors: 1000°C

heat pipe dragged towards reactors: 683.33°C

Random placed pipe pieces: 800°C

Expected behavior would be for any placement order to reach 1000°C. Even if it takes some variants longer due to update cycles.
