steam and pipes
« on: May 05, 2010, 02:43:51 am »

i would love to see steam or smoke used in the game.  i would also love to be able to actually lay pipe in place of aquiducts.  That way its a bit more controlled from the pump to the source.  you could set up a boiler room workshop that uses coal to make steam or smoke and generates energy or maybe some other uses.

pipes would be cool. they'd save lots of work and space, and it's silly not to let players use pipe sections as actual pipe sections.. i'd especially like it if you could run more than one through a single square, at the cost that you can't have more than 1/7 water through it at the same time.

my big problem is the pump section of aqueducts are a bit messy.  my pump op tends to get washed off the pump lol.

Pipes would be good.

Steam is one of the more controversial topics here, i don't really have strong opinions for or against...

For the keywords Pipes and Steam i get around 20 relevant results in our search engine. Please use search before you suggest something. In my opinion its sometimes better to nekro a older thread then spawning a dozen redundant threads.
