Pipe Flow Directors Suggestion

[oconzer]

I know we have bridges to direct flow, but it can get a little confusing at times trying to plan something out by directing with bridges.

I propose a new type of pipe for liquid, gas and conveyor, a director.

Here's my idea for how it would work:

You'd have your basic one way flow director that would not require power, and would require a duplicant to operate it to change the flow. It's menu would only allow you to select the direction to flow.

Then you'd have your improved flow director that could send up to 3 directions (not sure if this would be useful but could be limited to 2). This would require power (10W). You'd have your sliders to set how much flow would go to your desired output flows.

With the overlay menu for their respective piping it would show an arrow(s) in green for the direction(s) the flow is supposed to go.

These pipes would always be a 1 tile by 1 tile build.
