This mod uses nodeboxes to supply a complete set of nicely-rounded flanged pipes, along with "valve" and "pump" devices for them, plus a set of boxy, clear pneumatic tubes.
Pipes come in two variants: one type bears one or more dark windows, suggesting they're empty, while the other type bears transparent windows, which show the texture of the liquid they're transporting. These windows only appear on straight lengths and on certain junctions. Note that crafting or digging them will always give you the empty variety.
Tubes come in several variants: Regular clear tubes that simply pass objects from one end to the other, and various kinds of sorting, transport, and Mesecons-compatible signaling tubes.
See below for the crafting guide, or use Creative Mode if you'd rather do that.
Please note that owing to the nature of this for the sake of decent appearance and function, I have opted to use larger-than-16px textures on the pipes and related devices.
Got a 3d printer? Well in that case, you can bring some of Pipeworks into the real world! Head over to my Thingiverse project. There you'll find modified versions of all of the different shapes of pipes and various pipe-related devices, ready for printing. This repository does not contain tube-related items. These are just solid models, of course, suitable for gluing together into a static "sculpture" that you might put on a shelf or in a display case, so don't expect to move water through them. :-)
