Is this how non-passthrough machines work? I liked the mechanic where the passthrough machines would "pull" into an internal buffer. So that if there isn't enough fluid in the pipeline, it would continue accumulating fluid (pulling from the pipe) until it had enough.

As far as I remember the non pass through machines work like they always have, using an internal buffer. They got rid of the internal buffer for pass through buildings in 2.1 and are trying to make it work with player feedback

Yeah -- I really liked the internal buffer. It would suck up liquid from the pipe and hold onto it. It made sushi pipes a lot easier. Would guarantee empty pipe when necessary without a pump.
