Hi!
First of all, thanks for a great mod (package)!

Not sure which pyanodon mod this question should go into, but since this one at least introduces the multipurpose pipes, I figure it can go here.

When expanding and using higher tier production buildings, the amount of fluids and in turn amount of pipes gets ludicrous, especially if stacking mod is used. The multipurpose pipes helps somewhat since pipes can be placed away, but a better help would be higher throughput (more than the current 1200/s). One example of this is when making syngas from coke oven gas - just a few of quenching tower MK2 doing this produces thousands of flue gas/s!

Would it be possible to introduce higher throughput pipes?

Thank you!

No due to factorio fluid mechanics it can't be done.

I was afraid you were gonna say that :(

I assume it also applies to void structures, like sinkhole, gasvents and such? I suppose higher tiers of those could be another solution?

ive already been tweaking and testing changes to the sinkhole. they're not bound by the same issues related to pipe throughput.

Ok, thanks!

@BadDay
How exactly do multipurpose pipes help, how do they work?

@DaktShadow44
They are just much longer than regular pipes, no bells or whistles.

@BadDay
What do you mean longer? They seem normal to me.

@DarkShadow44
I mean the underground pipes reach is longer than regular pipes.

how about adding "high pressure fluids" for those that are needed in high volume?
For example high pressure syngas that takes 10 syngas into 1 and then have small converter valve that you could attach to each machine?

@AndrewSkier
Like the "Pressurized fluids" mods? Would be cool if you'd need special pipes for that though... I'd prefer a solution like "Fluid Must Flow" (big pipes) but that does't work properly either.

@DarkShadow44
Thanks for pointing it out. Exactly what I was hoping for.
