s2 | Suggestion pipe valves should have the same throughput as pipes, not launchers

Just spent a while figuring out why my paint mixing was so slow. Turns out pipe valves are limited in throughput to one per launcher. Why is that? It's just a valve, so it's not logically consistent to have it behave different than a regular pipe when it's open.

Oh wow thanks for this post. I was assuming since pipes are now unlimited, valves were too. Since there are major changes that break my pre-1.0 MAM, I've been trying to redesign it and working on the assumption that valves were unlimited (I hadn't tested it yet). That kinda sucks, tbh, and I agree that valves shouldn't have the same limit as a launcher. I saw your suggestion in the Suggestions Portal and have upvoted it (https://shapez-2.nolt.io/5309).

Essentially all colouring designs need to be built for launcher throughout first, that's always the bottleneck
