As the title states, would it be possible to get a separate version of just the pipes/tank/pumps? I'd love to add them to a hazardous environment scenario I'm putting together, but without biters the rest of this mod would sit in the crafting menus and that seems like a legit shame.

The pipes are a very standalone part of this mod so that's pretty doable. I think the main gotcha is that they require updating all the furnaces to assembly machines to allow picking between bricks vs pipes.

I'll need to double check if anything else relies on that conversion logic before moving them out.

Almost everything else in this mod is somewhat interdependent or at least uses a ton of shared utility code so splitting other stuff out is a big undertaking.

I can't promise a timeline though. I just finished working on a mod that took way longer than expected and I want to take a break from modding and actually play the game.

I saw that, it looks really cool and I'm excited to try it myself. It makes me curious how it behaves with in-game research multipliers on combos like SE+K2+vBZ

And there's zero rush, I just thought it would be neat... and a small idea: a ceramic "furnace" is less noticeable than having to set recipes in every furnace.
