Pipes through blocks?

[Rayoxium]

Alright,

So a big problem I am encountering (perhaps you WANT us to encounter it?) is that getting to a source of liquid or gas through a block is difficult. In order to create a tile against water or pipe leading to that water, you must first destroy the block. When that block is destroyed the floodgates are open. Water is everywhere, my dupes are stressed, I am stressed, it's not a good time for everyone involved. This is especially troublesome when I try to build a hydrogen energy machine (I don't remember what it's called off of the top of my head) and I can't do so without exposing my little guys to the gas and letting the hydrogen escape. 

I'm hoping that it would be possible to make it so we can build pipes through blocks, without destroying them. If not, that's coo I suppose

Also I love this game

It makes sense that you would have to destroy blocks that are not tiles to lay pipes/wires. Usually what I do is build a layer of tiles with one block of natural resources on the inside no no leaks ever, then  once that is finished if I want it to be smaller I just build a one tile layer on the inside and destruct the outside.

Its tedious yeah but makes sense. I'm pretty neutral on this so if someone has a better argument for or against this ...
