Weylin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Simple idea, have it so the redpower pneumatic pipes can be toggled between two modes with the screwdriver. "Open" mode is the default. It will connect to both other pipes and nearby storage "Closed" mode will only connect to other pipes, and ignore storage devices. This will allow you to have pipes pass by things without it connecting, and lead to more compact and elegant designs that are slightly less painful to your OCD :P Quote
Nentify Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Don't covers achieve this? Place a cover on the side of the pipe and it will stop it connecting with anything touching that side of the pipe. Quote
Weylin Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 Holy shit, you're right. Well this kinda came to me in a dream and I rushed to the computer at 4am before I forgot it... Well damn, that's even more useful, because you can decide which side it is that doesn't connect. How did I not know about this? Wires, yes, but pipes? It never even occurred to me... Quote
