A small idea to makes atmos techies' life easier

[CreationPro]

As we know, pipe laying is somewhat tedious, especially after a bombing. But what really IS hard is replacing piping underneath walls. Sometimes it breaks, but the wall remains intact. Therefore, you have to take the entire wall down just to place a pipe. And sometimes you have to take plasteel walls down, too!

What I am suggesting is: clicking a wall with a pipe in your hand lays the pipe onto that tile, so that you can wrench it down without having to remove the entire wall first. Would help immensely in these situations where you have to repair a place after a small bombing.

Good idea, unfortunately since we can't have the air and scrubber pipes layed ontop of one another we have a lot of situations where one set of pipes has to go through walls.

Or maybe bombs shouldn't damage pipes under walls, without first destroying the walls. I can't imagine that would have much negative impact on the game, and would lead to less bald atmos techs.(Because they pull all their hair out due to damaged pipes under rwalls).

That was the solution I'd rather go with.

The fact it's also trivial to do has a lot to do with my opinion, though.

Can you make the same thing apply for wires underneath walls too?
