How can such a thing even be possible? The breaks are scripted.

I'm not sure how accurate this info from the modder is but this is how he describes it under his mod:

Experienced players can predict that the pipes will always malfunction 2 or 3 times, first time around 35%, second time around 70%, and maybe a third time after 90%. Generally, it's every 50-70 seconds (average of 60 seconds).

This simple mod shakes things up by randomizing when the pipes will break - while still maintaining the same average time between breakdowns. Now pipes can jam anywhere from 5 to 115 seconds between breakdowns (average of 60 seconds). So you never know what you're gonna get!

This is the only instance of it being described that I'm aware of because I was looking up refinery mods in the past. I tried looking up this info on the web to answer your question with more credible sources but I didn't find any and didn't bother spending too much time on that.

Ah.

No, this can happen in vanilla game. It's just that the mod is the only source describing the mechanic that I'm aware of.
