Sandustry Update 4 Overhauls Liquid Piping Networks And Resolves Machine Stalling Bugs

Update 4 for Sandustry delivers an extensive pipes overhaul with Pipe Bridge construction, unified blueprint selections, and fixes for stalled factory buildings.

What changed

• Reworked pipe connections so crossing conduit lines automatically generate a Pipe Bridge.
• Enabled selecting, copying, and pasting plumbing segments while operating within Pipes Mode.
• Resolved multiple underlying issues that caused factory buildings to stop functioning unexpectedly.
• Prevented molten lava from leaking through Advanced Filter Walls into surrounding facilities.

Plumbing Overhaul and Blueprint Selection

• Pipes no longer connect to adjacent segments automatically unless explicitly linked at pipe endpoints.
• Building crossing fluid conduits now generates a Pipe Bridge to route independent liquid streams.
• Fluid overlays now display the color tint of the last transported liquid across the pipe network.
• Keyboard shortcuts allow engineers to select both structures and pipes simultaneously to save unified blueprints.

Machine Stability and Element Fixes

• Development resolved multiple unrelated issues causing production structures to freeze or halt operation.
• Fixed an exploit that permitted duplicating gathered physical elements through the handheld Vacuum.
• Airflow generated by Aerokinetic Fans now properly passes through Open Doors across factory chambers.
• Hauler Lines can no longer be assigned directly inside subterranean ancient artifact chambers.
