Pipe intakes/outtakes for more items


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I just recently started ONI and must say it's quite some frustrating fun. :)

However, one thing I came across was the inability of several items to be directly connected to my pipe systems (water or gas).

E.g. why can't I connect the pitcher pump to my pipes instead of having to fill a reservoir beneath it (that totally messes with my layout)?

The same with water pumps: Why do they _have_ to be submerged in water, instead of having a water intake so I can connect a pipe to it?

My suggestions would be:

1) Pipes should be automatically "open" without the need of a final vent. The vents could be used to create several out or intakes along the pipes way (without the need for branching).

2) Items like the pitcher pump and the liquid pump should have a liquid intake slot and require a connected pipe that is either part of the liquid circulation or ending in a pool of liquid.

3) Items like the coal generator, the electrolyzer, and other machines that produce exhaust, should have a gas outtake slot that _can_ be connected to a pipe system. If not, they should just spill it directly from their outtake.

 

Thank you for reading and keep up the great work!
