Hi guys. I'm the developer of SyncPipes. All suggestions are welcome, I'm still actively developing the plugin and trying to resolve issues as they come up. Some of the issues reported below have now been fixed.
There is an issue with oxide which means moving items to a vending machine will never remove the end of a stack. I've added a work around in the latest version to resolve this.
The current flow rates are set by the building material the pipe is made from (sticks, wood, metal, HQM). I'm currently working on a new system of pipes that should help to extend this and make it more flexible.
That's a good idea I hadn't thought of it. Adding flow rates by user level should be doable.
I'm not sure why the salvaged hammer doesn't work to remove pipes. There may be a damage handler on the pipe that is getting in the way. I'll see if I can find out.
If you have any further questions or suggestions I'm happy to investigate them.
