Powered Pipe?
-
As i work on my next generation space station in TPT, i've been wondering if some sort (or type) of PIPE can be linked with PSCN and NSCN that can either reverse the direction where the PIPE is carrying stuff.Let's say, you got a PIPE carrying elements this way:------------------------------------------------------------->Now, if i were to spark it if NSCN is touching the pipe, it's direction could be reversed.<----------------------------------------------------------On the other hand, if it's sparked by PSCN, it would go back to carrying elements to the right.------------------------------------------------------------->Do you think this is a good idea? I've searched the forums for it but it just shows "Loading..."

I have suggested this already. It was rejected but I still think it is a very good idea and a lot of people supported it. I know of all kinds of uses for it and it would be fun to have. Maybe this time it wont get rejected. We can only hope.

@therocketeerWhat do you mean a temperature setting?

tmp not temp. Although, I think tmp is already used to store the elements in PIPE. So i think it should just be another property. -
I just checked, and tmp is mostly used, and tmp2 is set to either 0 or 1, so both have room to store an extra 'reverse' bit. I spent a little time trying to figure out how to do it, but I couldn't figure out exactly how. I'll try to add this to my mod later this week.

Searching is working for me, maybe it just depends on what browser you use. A lot of bugs here depend on that. -
Catelite explained that all that needs to be done is reversing the colors of the pipe when I talked with her about it last time. It is just a matter of true and false statements. The reason it wasn't put in is because she considers pipe a decorative thing and it would be pointless to add a feature like that to something that is purely for aesthetics. In my opinion, pipe is more than just an aesthetic element, It is used for all kinds of features including STOR. Perhaps we can convince them to add it in if others agree that pipe is used for more than just decorative purposes. Here is the link to the way I suggested it for reference: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=13027

Remember, though, Cate was against fusion but then it got added.
Then she loved it.
