Discussion So appararently liquid tanks LITERALY decrease troughput, even with junctions

I was working on an decent landing pad setup on PLT when i noticed that when i added more water to the landing pads, the slower they got, i was stunt for a few days until i realaized that THE LIQUID TANKS in the junction transportation were literaly slowing down the whole liquid transportation by 450l/s, using large tanks seemed to not do anything so i dont think its related to the storage cap, if theres anyone who knows how to analaize the code behind ts i'd be happy to see why ts happens, im gonna guess its bc of junction backflow

Perhaps your problems are due to the pipes.

Are you saying I should start using Junctions instead of titanium pipes?! 😩

Pipes are typically slightly cheaper, but junctions work much better for main lines. Also, when you want to build regular pipes, first make sure you don't need bridges.
