I'm not currently playing the game (lots to do and, well... it's Cracktorio, you know), but I'm wondering about the impact of those changes on my typical playstyle. It'll be probably neutral or positive.

The key here is that I only use the fluid mechanics for short-range transportation, and even then I'm likely to force a priority system through pumps; in the mid- or long-range, I'm using barrels all the time, even for intermediates.

Perhaps those changes will force me to revaluate the role of pipes, that would be a net positive. If they don't, the changes will be simply neutral.
