1.8 Pipes

[shadowfacts]

We can't say, because we have no idea how your steam API works. My guess is you would fill the pipe up with steam from any adjacent sources. Then, any pipes adjacent to your pipe would try to balance the steam in the first pipe between itself and the first pipe, you would then repeat this balancing and eventually steam would be balanced between all the pipes in your network. You'd also check if there are any adjacent blocks that accept steam, and if so, insert as much as possible into them.
