To be clear, the reason for the manifold change is because constructible atmos made it trivial to just build your entire pipe network out of unbreakable manifolds.
I don't think that's good, but the fact that people are so attached to unbreakable pipes just to get away from the TEG gameplay loop of constant repairs may be telling.
Ideally I think the TEG should be more like the nuclear reactor and singulo: low(ish) maintenance when things are going well, but very dangerous when pushed too far or misused.
Suggestions on how to do that are very welcome: one potential idea would be making pipes burst only on rapid changes in pressure/temperature.
