Then someone tell them they removed the flat pieces from the set of pieces that was thrown in the box.
And the answer is : "ah finally it was about time, now nothing prevents me from making that aircraft i was trying to make".
Inside to me it feels like a giggle and a facepalm at the same time. I felt this way when reading the FFF and some of the ensuing discussion about the fluid change. Where sometimes people just put together a bunch of pipes and tanks together and regret it doesn't work right away, change a thing here and there randomly, still doesn't work, and complain the game is broken.
I was more interested into understanding the change that was made, its consequences, rather than in the different method that can be used to fail at making a working system that different people thought should have worked and all expect will work in the future at the cost of potential disappointment.
You can probably guess i'm not 100% convinced by the announcement, i'm curious to see how it works with a lot of reserve, but as it was noted in the FFF ( 416) not everything was explained about the consequences of the changes. So i wanted to create a example of what would represent the thing i negatively anticipate the most, some sort of a silly system, that may become possible in game, maybe not, maybe in further FFF we'll read about the fixes that were successively added to make a system that is not what i would call "broken" ( if my nuclear power plant from the future works).
There you go : I HOPE IT WILL NOT WORK, i think the change may have the negative consequences of introducing the possibility to do such power plant.

It's "tileable" on the left, and you add some pumps on the right, with 16 core provided no mistake in quick math it should be fine with 3 pumps working full time.
There are a lot of tanks, they are counted as signal "tank" and the pump are only allowed to transmit when tanks are above 20K on average. This to me is a naive way of attempting to abuse the fact that entity consuming fluid will do so at a rate that depend on the fill level of where they consume from.
If you put a bunch of tanks and wait for them to be filled enough, then when opening the "valve", the liquid should be consumed by every single entity after the valve at the same time, including those very far away with no delay compared to those very close.
And in doing so there is no more notion of throughput, i still put 3 pumps for the 16 cores, considering 36K water per second is enough for the 432 turbines but i'm not even sure you need 3, if the pump just act as a valve you'd need just 1 pump.
That's not even the worst part of my negative anticipation, i kept it for the end, or at least i thought it would be the worst, and it looks atrocious, the way the water is brought to the power plant ( the pipe leaving screen at the bottom right of the long vertical picture connect to the pipe leaving screen on the top left corner of the square one)

I am leaving this in case it is needed in the future, or to demonstrate, for now, it clearly doesn't work
Here you go, in french we have a saying that would translate literaly into "spitting into the soup", meaning acting all butthurt about something to the point of propagating something non constructive ( or disgusting) into the "soup" that we'll end up drinking anyway. Go figure why the french langage had a necessity for such idiom ....
I tried to bring a spicy, fresh fruit , one that smell like it's not super fresh, the one you can still eat but you'd rather not put in the soup if you can avoid it, so i avoided the news thread
