Sealed cables / pipes #711

Open Kevadroz opened 1 day ago

Kevadroz commented 1 day ago

Describe the feature you'd like

Add some form of sealed (full block) cables / pipes for situations where you need to get energy, fluids, etc. into an airtight / sealed space.

This is mostly for space mods where you need to create sealed rooms to get a room with breathable air.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe add a feature to camouflage cables with a block? That way if a cable is camouflaged as a full block it could be considered "sealed". It's more work tough.

Additional context

I'm making a modpack with mekanism and ad astra, and I can't wire energy cables to a sealed space because of the mentioned issue.

Quantum Entangloporters are too overkill, costly and late-game to be a replacement.

Maybe use energy cubes as a sort of passthrough?

Energy cubes are not visually solid, and in my case ad astra doesn't detect them as solid, I could add them to the whitelist, but again, not visually solid and sealed cables is a better solution.
