More Fuel features and many builders requests!
Here are the patch notes for the following two updates:
[New build - EXPERIMENTAL] 21w36a: The Fuel Saga #2: Attack of the Valves
[New build - EXPERIMENTAL] 21w37a: Builder's Requests
Theses two builds bring a few features to the fuel experience and catch up on some builders most popular requests.
New features
Valve pipe: The valve allows you to control the flow on a pipe section on request.
You can activate it by hand or via remote logic.
Transparent pipe and tank. This will be convenient to visualize what is happening in your fuel loops.
The transparent tank has a different and cylindrical design (courtesy of womble).
The gas density depends on the % of each tank / pipe.
This will also be convenient when other type of fuel and liquid fuel are added.
Multi-tank logic.
It is now possible to form functional tank chains: the tanks linked together will exchange fuel to form an equilibrium.
