• All pipeline blocks now have a heat capacity and will melt if they contain a fluid hotter than it can handle.
• Pipeline junctions now store liquid, rather than teleport it forward like how vanilla liquid junctions do. They now also have the ability to leak. (This will only apply to the Wave Junction though.)

Note - if you have any existing maps with pipelines or other liquid transport blocks, I recommend deconstructing those blocks before downloading this version, otherwise those maps will break.
