Phase Changes In Pipes

[Onidotmoe]

Pipes shouldn't break when what's inside of them changes from liquid-to-liquid or gas-to-gas, like Crude Oil to Petroleum.

I mean even liquid to solid could be an interesting way to make the plumbing skill more interesting and useful by allowing the dupe to unclog the pipe.

Gas to liquid is a bit weird though. That might require a drain on the gas pipe to release liquid.

Just brainstoming though.

In a perfect world pipes would clutter up, create a big blockage and drop out as solidified bricklets...like sitting on the toilet. We all know what headaches the developers would have with doing that, but hey...We are just gamer`s asking for things.

The ONI forum is still the best, it always makes me forget all life problems

Solidified in-pipe "Whatever"

Also, the pipe should swell up before bursting, for more programmer headache !

Also new fluid type: "Vitamin B". Mixing "Vitamin B" with "Vitamin A" results in "Vitamin E(rror)."

In DLC2 there is the new Vitamin-Error Rocket Engine, the Vitamin-E powered Bulldozer and the giant VitaminZ mega big ants, they build anthills and replicate in order to slow down the game.

The Ameisenbear sucks up Vitamin ants and ejects them, processed to VitaminZ-Ztop, at his back exit.

The Ameisenbear is actually only half the size of a Vitamin Ant. Also Whatever should be a new material in the game, where the player can try to figure out what its use`s are for. If Whatever blocks a pipe, due to changing in to gas in the pipe, it will cause major havoc in a 20 tile radius. Whatever can be transformed to Mayonnaise - Mayonnaise need to be super cooled, otherwise it stinks and causes a spreading disease in the colony, named TotalMayoMadness.

There will be a converter item in the game in 2027 ( DLC 4 ), to convert Whatever in to Mayo. The converter building is called ChippieShop, for the cook job.
