is that dave i don't know barely nor so yeah uh haven't played in a couple years but been thinking about starting a new play recently did they ever fix the bug with mark ii pipes not moving the full amount and fluctuating slightly uh pipes fluctuating is intended and i'll be transparent

whether or not there are bugs in that fluctuation is... We're leaning towards yes, there might be something there, but also it's omega hard to pinpoint because the fluctuation and liquids behaving like liquids in those pipes and not just your, you know, ores with a new skin being frequently... What's the word?

Consistently transported on, you know, a different color of or different paint of conveyor belt is the point of pipes.

So no, pipes are behaving the way you remember them.

And again, there might still be, in the intentional fluctuation, there might be one or two small issues with that fluctuation, so like the intended fluctuation might still be bugged.

But even after we're done fixing that, if there is anything to fix, it will still fluctuate because that is, again, intended.

So no.

Full pipe type pipes.

Exactly.

I think that's what the...

The... How do I say, I think, I know, that's what the core design philosophy behind pipes are, is that if they were introduced as just another, like, a reskin of belts that look different, but even, like, ultimately behave the exact same, like, invisibly inside these pipes, just...

transport what would essentially be like water nodes, water chunks with consistent frequency that is just conveyor belts with a fancier or another name and another shape and when belts were made

to coexist with pipes they were made from the ground up to follow a different and also again in terms of realism slightly more like in terms of comparing them to belts more realistic not physic but realistic logic compared to a real world then pipes then belts do with ores and stuff items so

yeah

So yeah Because if if pipes if pipes would have been a complete reskin of belts and water would have been a come or liquids would have been a complete reskin of Nodes brain what the hell Then implementing them would have been easier like easy day one, but pipes were in update three four five

No, five was Swatch's vehicles.

Three was Pipes.

I wanna say three was Pipes.

They took longer for a reason.
