My problem is that I'm playing a no hand crafting challenge with bobs mods that has a bunch of different pipes, so it would be a nightmare to have to try and produce all the different types and store them, and carry them around.
I suggest the mod should be implemented like Text Plates, it has a single object for inventory and when placing the item it pops up a menu letting you pick what version you want to use (in that mod its different letters) and when mining any of those letters you get back one the basic blank tiles.
