Significantly updates the Engineering guidebook (more explicitly the Atmos section) to have a lot more relevant and useful information. Right now engineering has been getting update after update with no real change to the relevant guidebook entry. This has lead to a lot of out of date information and bad practices being prevalent in the guidebook, something that pains me to read.

# Passive Gate
|
|
The passive gate is a simple one-way valve that prevents gasses from flowing backwards.

</Box>
|
|
|
|
The valve's input is on the side of the [color=red]red[/color] circle.
|
|
The valve also shows the current flow rate of the pipe when examined.
|
|
|
|
It's useful in many applications, for example:
|
|
- Preventing a pure gas from getting contaminated via a mixed gas flowing back through the pipe.
|
|
- Preventing pressure or temperature changes across two [textlink="pipenets" link="PipeNetworks"] in the opposite direction.
|
|
- Quickly checking the flow rate on a pipenet without needing a [textlink="gas analyzer" link="AtmosTools"].
