[eL][Pipes & Tubes]

we ever going get a update

@kinngrimm: Your second suggestion is already a thing and has been for years (if I understand what you mean by it).
The mod is called Advanced Welding and it has a slim, collisionless, self-deleting merge block called a weld pad. It's pretty cheap to, at a cost of 1 steel plate, computer, and construction component. You can also detach a block without grinding it down if you hold ctrl while grinding.
Perfect for salvage scenarios (or the new Prototech blocks).

last not least, for really big pipes they could become jeffrys tubes, walkable maintance tunnels that still allow to fix blocks closeby, but are otherwise airtight and walkable.

another good concept might be a selfdeleting mergeblock that is so slim that it has no colission or has collisions deactivated. Point being you can permanently connect two grids over conveyors. A merge block conveyor ^^.

just saw an old conveoyr mod which wasn't any longer maintained that had an interesting concept that i think would fit in here well.
(De-/A-)tachable connectors (like with rotors/hinges). They were rather slim from the design , just a slightly different looking endpoint.

@Shado Is that by design on your part? :)
Great work on the mod btw, love the double flang piece. They should implement that in the game.

@Shado Ah nvm, the double end piece literally does what it says. Unlike the vanilla end piece :)

@Shado Hello, I am having an issue with pipes being connected but stay yellow instead of green :/ do you know what could be wrong?

if possible can you make a new mod with just the small pipe and sorter or remove the conveyor adaptor and cargo from the mod. with the vanilla one this makes builds overpowered (to easy)

Not rushing for an update, since I know how IRL can really muck a person's free time up, but I wondered if you considered what I wrote in the Block Rebalancing discussion post I made?
