Pressure Pipe

Pressure Pipe. PRSP
A pipe that carries pressure from one area to another working on the 4x4 grid. The outside layer of the pipe would be TTAN to contain it. It would resist temperatures of similar to that of TTAN, immune to pressure, and works similarly to regular pipe.
Uses: Carrying pressure from one part of a save to another safely without having to worry about destroying other parts of the save. For instance, you have a BWR powerplant that runs on URAN. URAN needs pressure to heat up. WTRV creates pressure when it rises. If you could harness that pressure from the BWR and transfer it to the URAN, it would make for a more controled reactor. Threre could be a lot of other uses too. Factories, (think reactions) certain electronics, (think sensors) etc. The only issue I see it the fact that pressure works on a 4x4 grid. So the pipe would need to be 4 pixels thick in order to contain the pressure. Please give feedback and I hope you like this suggestion.

o.o We don't even have a proper pressure teleporter yet. My best suggestion would be to magic some way to use Ambient Heat alongside Boyl in a series of pipes/teleporters, which -might- work. For the most part, it's easier to use PUMP to facilitate the exact pressures required for operations.
Pipes would have to be made of particles, also o.o Any pressure movement would take a while to move across properly.

So what you are saying is that I am a bit too far into the future to have this suggestion implemented. lol. Worth a shot.

It'd be pretty easy to -make-, just, the end result wouldn't work like what you're describing. It'd be easier to find some other way to cart pressure around.
A pressure teleporter would also work, since whatever the pressure in one place is would be copied into another in addition to decay from spread, but no one's made that yet to see how well it'd work for this kind of application.
A pipe would be the same thing - Just, slower, and unbreakable probably.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be hard to make a 2-directional pressure pipe, just disassemble simulation/Air.c and copy the code there so it behaves like a little wormhole -
What will be unable to happen in TPT if this element is not implemented?
-
this is already possible using TTAN and INSL to block particles, just not as accurately.
