Make IR3's air pipes behave as Deadlock intended: they cost steel, can only carry gases, and gases can't be carried in regular pipes. Additionally, adds special carbide pipes to transport molten metals.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
Version: 1.0.5
Date: 20. 03. 2026
Features:
- Bugfix: short underground pipes can connect with their respective pipes and full-length undergrounds again.
- Bugfix: carbide pipes and valves are fast replaceable with regular pipes. (not fully fixed, as overflow/underflow valves don't show yet)
Version: 1.0.4
Date: 13. 03. 2026
Features:
- Added dependency to "No Pipes Touching", that way the different types of pipes won't connect to eachother, making it easier to avoid accidents.
- Valves, pumps and tanks still connect to any pipe just fine, allowing you to use them to connect different pipe types together (such as for connecting water pipes to regular pipes, or steam pipes to gas pipes).
Version: 1.0.3
Date: 13. 03. 2026
Features:
- Gas pipes are now unlocked with the steel milestone technology, just like regular pipes are unlocked with the iron milestone technology.
- Changed the electric derrick's recipe to require air pipes.
- Now check for the "show short pipes" option from Shemp's patchset to display or hide short underground carbide pipes.
Version: 1.0.2
Date: 12. 03. 2026
Features:
- Restricted each vanilla/IR3 fluids to specific pipe types. Incompatible fluids will make pipes burst.
- Iron pipes can only carry "liquids".
- List of liquids:
Water
Polluted Water
Crude Oil
Petroleum Gas
Light Oil
Heavy Oil
Lubricant
Synthetic Crude Oil
Sulfuric Acid
Fertilizer
Ethanol
High Octane Fuel
Liquid Oxygen
Liquid Hydrogen
Liquid Nitrogen
Liquid Helium
Liquid Carbon Dioxide
Liquid Natural Gas
- Gas pipes can only carry "gases".
- List of gases:
Steam
Polluted Steam
Sour Gas
Compressed Air
Oxygen
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
Helium
Ammonia
Carbon Dioxide
Natural Gas
Fossil Gas
- Carbide pipes can carry superheated "molten" metals and regular liquids.
- List of molten metals:
Molten Copper
Molten Tin
Molten Bronze
Molten Glass
Molten Iron
Molten Gold
Molten Lead
Molten Steel
Molten Nickel
Molten Chromium
Molten Platinum
- Water pipes and Steam pipes are unchanged. They still only accept water/steam.
- Option to turn carbide pipes on/off is broken. It's hidden for now, will fix later
Version: 1.0.1
Date: 11. 03. 2026
Features:
- Added carbide pipes and all their variants.
Pipe
Underground Pipe
Short Underground Pipe
One-way Valve
Overflow Valve
Top-up Valve
- Carbide pipes require steel parts and silicon carbide bricks to craft.
- Crafting recipes:
Carbide pipe = 2 steel plates + 1 steel rivet + 1 silicon carbide brick
Underground carbide pipes = 15 carbide pipes
Short underground carbide pipes = 5 carbide pipes
Carbide valve = 1 carbide pipe + 1 steel gear
One-way, Overflow and Top-up Valves can be cycled through using IR3's "toggle" key
- Added option to turn carbide pipes on/off. (WIP)
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 11. 03. 2026
Features:
- Initial creation.
- Changes to air pipes recipes: they require steel parts now (gas pipe = 1 steel plate, 1 steel rivet ; gas valve = 1 gas pipe + 1 steel gear).
- Changes to air pipe limitations: pipeline extent reduced to half.
