Liquifying gases
How do you do it? The only way to cool gases lower than ambient temperature is the thermo regulator. Do gaspipes not care about phasechanges to liquid or do i have to push it into a high pressure atmosphere to increase the condensation point to achievable levels or what?

You cool down hydrogen which has a lower condensation temperature than other gases and use that to liquify them.
Aside from thermo regulators, the thermal nullifier found in ice biomes helps getting there.

1) Cool another gas or liquid to a temperature well-below the condensation point of the gas that you want to liquefy

2) Pipe that gas/liquid into an area containing the gas that you want to liquefy (make sure your pipes aren't made of abyssalite)

3) Condensed gas will drip from the pipes

-- Example: I want to liquefy oxygen

1) Fill a room with hydrogen, and pump it through thermo-regulators until the hydrogen is around -200C

2) Pipe the super-cooled hydrogen into a thermally sealed room containing oxygen

3) Oxygen will cool down and eventually drip from the pipes

Oh of course. Thanks.

Just started playing again after a while (stopped right when they released the outbreak update) and i am not sure of what have changed since then but you used to be able to cool a gas below its liquefaction point and it condesated as soon as it left the piping system (gas vent dripping liquid). Did they changed it?

Yes if a something changes state in a pipe, the pipe will break.
