air pipes with cold damage, with average temperatures

Hi Hunter,

  It looks like you sucked up some steam from that steam geyser.  When the steam hit that cold pipe, it condensed and damaged it.  Look below the damage, you should see a bunch of water.  If you want to transfer steam, you must keep the contents above the boiling point for its entire travel. This can be challenging even with insulated pipes, especially when the pipe isn't full.

 

  Any time a gas or liquid changes states in a pipe, it will cause "cold damage."  Klei really needs to get rid of the word "cold" and just leave "damaged" then change the tool tip to indicate that the damage was caused by a gas or liquid state change.

 

  On a side note, you could save a lot of resources and make your life a whole lot easier if you use Conductive Wire to connect up small appliances like gas pumps rather than using Heavi-Watt Conductive Wire.

 

Hope that helps,.
