Request mod pipeworks_elbow. There are some situations where using a sorting tube as a corner pipe just doesn't work because the sorting tube is promiscuous accepting all inputs.

Note this provides the 90° companion to the existing 180° pipeworks:steel_block_embedded_tube.

this seems reasonable, i've wanted such a tube myself at times.

seems to work fine. can even be rotated w/ the screwdriver.

Are they meant to be rotated?

yes. they've got code to enable that explicitly.

Recipe may need adjustment so there's equal cost to the companion piece; Could go either way though (pipeworks:steel_block_embedded_tube from 6x steel ingot and 3x tube) or (pipeworks_elbow:pipeworks_elbow from 8x steel and 1x tube).

honestly i think both of those recipes are expensive. probably should be 3 tubes + 6 steel -> 3 of the node.

Adjust recipe pipeworks:steel_block_embedded_tube #4994

I don't think it needs to be that cheap. Although, as seldom used (but very much needed) as this node is, I also don't think it matters if it's costly or cheap. You may see it in builds replacing steel blocks in clever ways for lower cost than actual steel blocks. In either event we agree on the existing pipeworks:steel_block_embedded_tube recipe changing to require three tubes on input c.f. #4994

So ~~let's change the pipeworks_elbow:pipeworks_elbow recipe to have quantity 3 output, and~~ corresponding changes to pipeworks:steel_block_embedded_tube.

For comparison, there's also pipeworks:steel_pane_embedded_tube which requires S = Steel ingot, T = tube

[ ][S][ ]
[ ][T][ ]
[ ][S][ ]

All of those are not pieces we see every day, so I'm ok-ish with their current recipes. At best we might want to switch pipeworks:steel_block_embedded_tube from

[S][S][S]
[S][T][S]
[S][S][S]

to

[S][S][S]
[T][T][T]
[S][S][S]
