[Suggestion] Attachable pipe to well pipe block and reusable derrick

[Sam2451]

Does this suggestion already exist?

• [X] Yes, i have searched for already existing suggestions and found none.

Feature Explanation

Up to Immersive Petroleum version 4.1.0-21 once you have drilled a well with the derrick you can attach a pumpjack on the last top block of the well pipe block column. Due to the shape of the multistructure of the pumpjack and the column of well pipe blocks, only one pumpjack can be connected. It would be nice if a pipe could be connected on the well pipe to connect more than one pumpjack to extract oil from the reservoir, instead of drilling another well for the same reservoir with the derrick.

Also it would be nice, if possible, if you could, after drilling the well and the pressure in the reservoir stabilizes, to reuse the derrick to make an other well to an other reservoir of the same kind of the first in the vicinity. Many times i found two also three reservoirs of the same kind near eachother. If the user tryes to drill a well to a different reservoir, the derrick could just disconnect the previous one or make an event based on what fluid reservoirs are connected (ex. oil and water = if oil still present make it come out more from the derrick as it is lighter and immiscible; oil and lava = if both are still in enough quantities, make the derrick explode; water and lava = creates cobblestone, so it whould obstruct the tube, so nothing whould come out). I know this last part would be very hard to implement, but i think it would be an intresting and fun mechanic.

Meanwhile, thank you for your hard work in writing this mod and making it accessible to all of us! Keep up the good work!

Have you tried to configure the Derrick before drilling?

I did it, so as to choose which coordinates to drill the reserve, but once the drilling is finished it is no longer possible to reconfigure, with the message "Set in stone"
