As the title says, having an option to set a constant to pump at would be a god-send for thruster control. The configurable input-output levels don't work, when factorio first fills all outputs to full before filling the pipes in-between.

That sounds like an awesome idea for a different mod :)

I'm not sure what you mean?

Ah, no worries in that case. I'll see if I can rig something up with circuits.

I'm not entirely sure? I think my initial assumption was wrong, it's just the 1 tick where Output = 0 is more than enough to fully fill a thruster. Sorry to waste your time, I'll find a solution eventually, pipes are just weird. :P

That could be because there's a hidden combinator between the place the valve measures and where it compares. That can cause a 1-tick delay :)
