Can someone explain how they changed the design such that it doesn't need a bunch of spaghetti tubes all over the place? Like what did all of those tubes do and how are those jobs getting done without them?
A lot of those tubes run on the inside of the engine. They’re 3D printed into the engine walls as it’s being made
Metal 3D printing really has come a long way in recentish years. It does not seem like we've reached the peak of that technology. Especially in mass production.
If it’s not yet a Technology one can research in Civ, it certainly should be.
