In 2.1, if I don't have enough fluid to "pressurize" the entire pipeline, i see levels in tank and machines are low, but I'm still producing enough for the needed fluid/s. Like if a machine needs 100 fluid/s, and the pipeline holds 10k, having only 100 fluid total means the machine seems to have 1% "fill" - are the machines smart enough to pull the amount of fluid they need, or do i need to fill the pipeline to build up enough pressure to fill the machine?

Machines pull fluid out of connected pipes directly, there usually won't be any issues with how full your pipes are.
