So GalatiCraft is currently sporting a few gasses, 2 gas pipes, and 1 gas storage block. This is because everything is treated separately. Oxygen needs oxygen and hydrogen needs hydrogen. In order to simplify things and make it so I need to craft a different pipe for a different gas, why not just use a single Gas Transfer Pipe to move things around?
This solves a few issues. First, one pipe does everything. This means no new models or graphics for each pipe. This means simply adding a gas to be transferable via pipe, such as methane and nitrogen, instead of having to add a new pipe for each gas. I can already do this via Buildcraft pipes since Buildcraft doesn't care what I'm piping.
This could cause an issue since everything connects to itself. I'd like to throw in how Buildcraft and IC2 avoid this themselves. Buildcraft adds a pipe plug, and when placed on the side of a pipe, it "blocks" other pipes from connecting. IC2's glass fibre cable can be painted with a roller, and different colors do not connect. One of these or a completely different idea would be beneficial to keeping setups smaller.
Another thing is that there's no way to store a gas in a block except for oxygen. So I'm suggesting a Gas Storage Module.I'd personally call it a Pressurised Gas Storage block though.
