Hello,
The heatpipe planner is not perfect; it's added a bit of an afterthought (because, .. well, .. it was! 😅 P.U.M.P. existed well before Aquilo was introduced).
So after the layout-plan is made without heatpipes, the logic tries to squeeze in some heatpipes, which has a good chance of failing. There's also not much I can do about it, without a significant rewrite across the board.
However, it's supposed to be of the level 'occasional manual intervention'. Your screenshots seems to suggest it utterly failed. And I wouldn't expect this high failure rate.
Instead of a screenshot, can you please share a save file? I would like to figure out why your case is so excessive, and if I can tweak the logic somewhat to handle this better. I can't do that without a save file.
Thanks!
