i temp reading?

Any way to make Pipe Meter read fluid temp as well?

Thanks

It's doable, but would require a different approach and it might be more trouble than it's worth.

Currently pipe meters are small 1x1 tanks so everything about them is handled as optimized as base game items.
Reading temps would require polling fluidbox temperature and send that to a hidden constant combinator.

PS: Fluid temps are potentially going the way of the Dodo.

Thanks, wasn't sure if could even be done. I have been experimenting with Realistic Reactors and use your pipe meter for monitoring water in/out. I currently need a separate entity to read the temp, just looking to un-clutter the look.

Thanks again for looking into it! :)

Best bet would be to have Realistic Reactors output those values.
