Fluid Pipe Speed

You might be wondering how you can possibly transfer all these multiple thousands of millibuckets of steam every tick? The answer is: with regular fluid pipes!

Each fluid pipe has an internal buffer of exactly one bucket (= 1000 millibuckets). When you connect multiple pipes directly, they become linked and share their internal storage.

How much fluid is transferred every tick is then bounded by the total capacity of the network. For example, 25 fluid pipes linked together can transfer up to 25000 mb/t of fluid - assuming you can produce that much fluid of course!

Note that you might be limited by the transfer rates of the tanks/machines the pipes are connected to.
