Day 8 - “Balloon”

New shop

Today's topic was “balloon”. When I hear “balloon”, the first thing, that comes to my mind is gas inside it. That's why I've added new shop - Balloon. You can buy there pipes, tanks, unbarrellers and other fluid machines. So far, only tank, pipe and one unbarreller are available, but there will be more parts in future. I also shaped balloon shop ship like something with some sort of balloons over it. Also, I decided to create code to generate ships from images.

Full fluid system

Second thing I have created today was full fluid system. Now, fluids will go through pipes from machines to other machines or engines. Engines now need fuel to work. At least in theory. How is all this counted? Pretty easily. First, every part decides how to spread its fluid to neighboring pipes and saves that to table. After that, everything from local table is overwriting the ship pipe system table values. So far, ships other than player's don't have pipe system to power their engines, but they will. Also, engines can work without fuel, but I hope it will also get fixed in tomorrow update.
