Increase pipes capacity from 10k to higher!

[quitey]

In honor of the Aquatic update, can we please up the capacity of liquid pipes from 10k to 60k or anything higher then 10k?

its so painful moving water from one place to another, specifically to fill up a 96 tile room, 96 "size pool" in aquatic update

its takes sooo looong to fill up

just to fill up one room 96 tiles with water, its takes 16 cycles or 2.6 HOURS!!!

PLEASE CHANGE THE CAPACITY!!

I dont think we could change current pipe capacity without breaking some build im affraid. But I do agree that moving large amount of water（or gas) does suck.

Instead, since there is automation ribbon, could we get the same for water and oxygen pipe? If not to move large amount of liquid faster, it would at least help with pipe spaghetti.

I think it would make more sense if it worked like transit tubes: a big, chunky pipe that takes up an entire tile and requires special wall junctions, but can support 5 or 10 pumps connected to it simultaneously.

damn, a heavy watt wire analogue to gas and liquids that takes space like transit tubes sounds awesome and balanced. ive always thought mods that add high capacity pipes felt lacking. they kinda just remove the challenge. i dont think i would mind if  i have to manage transit-like spaghetti as the downside

Should probably have a dedicated heavy duty pump as connecting 10 pumps to one entry point would be kinda hard. Anyway i`d like to see dupes walk on top of a large horizontal pipeline.
