Head Pressure / Pressure in general for piping

A little similar to satisfactory: e.g. a building that supplies a fluid can pump it x meters automatically, if you want to pump higher than that, you need a pumping station (which needs power/maintenance etc). Water and fluids flow downhill naturally - perhaps could also introduce the concept of pressure control devices and buildings to supply consumers with fluids at the correct pressures.

Items flowing through pipes are all "pressurized" in game as we know the concept to be in reality (think of water pressure lines in your home). Pipes should me multi-directional, not one way just like in real life. If the system is pressurized, whatever is inside the pipe should flow in any direction you want to add pipe to. This would help a lot in expanding the water pipe system in game. Perhaps this could be an option pre-game to turn on or off for creativity.

I say no. An example is Factorio. It does not work well in that game, and takes up a lot of usefull bandwith which is needed for the rest of the game. This is a game. Not a simulator.
