I don't know what is going on here but the pipe here does not realize it has a bottom and the console only affects the bottom layer. Even if I manualy set the bottom layer to the correct type it still would not pass material. (note: it's currently unformed, but just try to get all three layers to form)

Edit: I think I found the source of the problem. The life stays at 0 when changing something to pipe but pipe needs life to auto-form. I am currently using Jacob's mod to replace the pipes manually. (doesn't work with console)

Edit /\ This beguettes another error that the official version says pipe has a life of zero but your mod says it's 60. But, the only difference (other than preset temp) is the life of the pipe layers, the one with zero life malfunctions. So, it is most definately not zero. *klaxon*
