What you expected to happen:

1. Add a condiut, e.g. an item or a fluid conduit
   -or-
2. Place a tank / machine (e.g. the vat) next to a fluid conduit
3. Select the correct settings

What happens:

• Chests fill with random stuff, spread their contents; from and to channels of different colors
• Before you even have a chance to change anything or while cycling through the settings, a tank gets filled or extracted from, filling it or the conduit with the wrong liquid.

What's my idea 1:

• A conduit clamp
• adds to a conduit bundle like adding a conduit
• looks like a small block around the center of the conduit
• Clamped conduits don't interact with anything but other conduits (it does not separate the conduit network)
• Crafting: 1 Conduit binder, 1 Wool (bonus idea: Colors ...)
• Removing: Behaves like a conduit; Yeta wrench mode

What's my idea 2:

Have a way to change conduit settings that would be available if there was a machine - before actually placing it. (Also helps while splitting/reconnecting conduits in confined spaces)
