Nikov Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Pipes currently lock up at pressures over 303kpa. Every atmos tech and plasma researcher hates this fact, because in order to keep atmospherics pipes easy to modify we have to cripple the pressure in them. It causes a lot of delays and frustration. Add a designated "Pipe Wrench" which allows a better grip and leverage on the pipes, enabling characters to detach pipes at any pressure. Possibly when held with two hands, if we want to also make this a doubly-robust backpack stored club. Drawback; it is already in the code that detaching pipes full of air will put that air into the room. Some mistakes will be made, I am sure. In addition, this wrench will have the following functionality. I had a chance to see a few miles of electrician's conduit, and realized its just straight piping being bent on site with a tool. In the far future, we can do the same. If you are holding a pipe fitting, then use the pipe wrench on that fitting, you can change the pipe fitting betweeeeen... Straight or 90-degree bend. Regular, Supply or Scrubber Normal or Reverse manual T-valves, filters and mixers. This allows an atmos tech to carry around a few spare pipes and bend / re-designate them them to fit most repair jobs, or scavenge pipes from scrubber lines to repair the critical distro lines. It does not allow him to print new pipes out of thin air, or create complicated devices such as pumps or even three-way junctions.
