Fluid Pipes can transport any liquid or gas and can be used them to connect tanks and machines in a system.
Usage
Place the pipe on the side of a machine, or on any face of a Fluid Tank. The pipe will automatically connect to anything it can connect to. It will only connect to a circular socket on a machine's face.
To pump fluids through the pipe, use a Standard Wrench and right-click the pipe block which is connected to the machine or tank holding the fluid. It will change visually to have a small grey/metal collar. It will pump fluid out of the tank or machine it is connected to. This is also known as the Fluid Pipe being in "pull mode".
A "pull" pipe will try to pump from any compatible block it is connected to. Therefore, a 1-block-long pipe will try to pump out of both ends, givng no results. A pipe system must be at least 2 blocks long, with the other pipe (in regular mode) flowing into the machine or tank requiring the fluid.
So, this will work, because the pipes are length 2.
However, this next one will not work, because the pipes are trying to pump both ways.
