Pressurized Pipes [DEPRECATED]

Wish I had the time to really dedicate to proper mod upkeep/development, but there are still some other wonderful alternatives!

High Pressure Applications:

I would recommend reading as much as you can below to fully understand what this mod adds and what features it introduces.
This mod is no longer labeled as beta! I feel far more comfortable that only one minor issue was reported, and after an attempted fix, it has not reappeared. With updated assets and more unique features to the new valves, it feels more complete to me as well.

I will be looking into improving upon it where I can, though specifics aren't determined yet.
This mod integrates a mid-late game system of high pressure pipes for gas and liquid systems! The goal throughout is reasonable balance and seamless integration to help expand on what you can do towards the endgame.

Requiring Steel and Plastics to craft, but with triple the capacity, these pipes can facilitate systems that benefit from high transfer rates.

While its Steel component is highly thermally reactive, the Plastic drastically reduces the thermal reactivity to that of a normal pipe.
Want your pressurized pipes to be even more insulated? Add the late-game Insulation material to the pipes after they've been created to completely remove heat transfer!

While these pipes can directly connect to standard pipes as well, a strong flow can damage connected pipes and bridges if they aren't built to withstand those pressures. Utilize Pressurized Bridges as well as valves and shutoffs (including Advanced Valves to support triple the standard flow and a new Buffer mode) to protect connections.

Adds the following buildings:

Cost: 25KG Steel, 25KG Plastic
Description: Can transfer up to 3000g of gas. Can be upgraded with 400KG of Insulation to nearly eliminate heat transfer.

Cost: 25KG Steel, 25KG Plastic
Description: Can transfer up to 3000g of gas. May damage output pipe if it is not a pressurized pipe and it is receiving more than 2000g of pressure on the receiving pipe.

Cost: 50KG Steel, 50KG Plastic
Description: Can limit the flow of gas by up to 3000g. Will not damage connected output pipe, regardless of input pipe's pressure or set flow rate. Comes with a togglable "Buffer" mode that inverts its behavior to only output a packet of the size specified by the flow limit! CAUTION: May become damaged in mixed element setups!

Cost: 50KG Steel, 50KG Plastic
Description: Can transfer up to 30KG of liquid. Can be upgraded with 400KG of Insulation to nearly eliminate heat transfer.

Cost: 50KG Steel, 50KG Plastic
Description: Can transfer up to 30KG of liquid. May damage output pipe if it is not a pressurized pipe and it is receiving too much pressure.

Cost: 100KG Steel, 100KG Plastic
Description: Can limit the flow of liquid by up to 30KG. Will not damage connected output pipe, regardless of input pipe's pressure or set flow rate. Comes with a togglable "Buffer" mode that inverts its behavior to only output a packet of the size specified by the flow limit! CAUTION: May become damaged in mixed element setups!


Similar to wires being damaged when too much power is transmitted over them, standard pipes can be damaged if too much mass attempts to flow to them from a pressurized pipe.

Standard Pipes have a 33% to be damaged if more than double its standard max capacity attempts to flow into it.
For example, if a regular Gas Pipe is connected to a Pressurized Gas Pipe, and 2.5KG of gas is in the pressurized pipe while flowing towards the standard pipe, there is a 33% every time the gas attempts to move that the standard pipe will be damaged.

Standard Bridges have 33% to be damaged if more than 110% of its max capacity attempts to flow through it at all.
Pressurized Bridges can also damage the connected output pipe if the input pipe has too much pressure as specified above.

Note:
Advanced Valves, standard Valves, and Shutoffs will not be damaged if connected to a high pressure pipe. Shutoffs however can damage their output if receiving too much pressure.
At this time, Liquid/Gas Filters also do not become damaged or damage connected pipes, and also can support the full flow of 30KG/3KG from inputs to outputs.

In general, this mod should always be compatible with other mods that do not modify the behavior of the pipe systems.

Bigger Capacity by newman55: Handling added to prevent Bigger Capacity from overriding Advanced Valve's maximum flow. In general, any pipe capacity increases configured by Bigger Capacity will also apply to all buildings added by the Pressurized Pipes mod. Very minor details do not perfectly integrate at this time (the conduit overlays do not scale with capacity increases, and neither do the visual animations of the amount of flow going through the Advanced Valves). None of these details will affect actual gameplay.


- Fixing any bugs that may appear, or making balance changes. This mod is surprisingly complex because the game normally in no way at all supports pipes with high capacities.
- If the desire seems to be there, Extreme Pipes (x10 capacity) as a separate, dependent mod (for those who don't want excessive clutter of new buildings). However, there are serious limitations in my ability to do this because of how I would want to create it.
- A more fitting looking icon for the Insulation button. Looking at Insulation balance as well.

None of this is necessarily set in stone.
