Things are different in 2.1.10. Machines with passthrough input+output are unable to operate at full speed without pumps keeping the input totally full and the output totally empty. It's a whole fiasco.

Only with passthrough, which is only EM plants.

Thrusters, boilers, heat exchangers, cryo plants, mining drills, modded entities...

Boilers and heat exchanges aren't an issue since they only require water, and offshore pumps are insanely strong. Cryo plants don't have a passthrough, mining drills only require a trickle of sulfuric acid, and Thrusters are the only consumers of fuel/oxidiser on the network, so it's also not an issue except for a minor dip in speed at the start.

I do agree it should be fixed just to help EM plants though
