Advanced Fluid Handling (forked)

A maintained, all-in-one fork of Advanced Fluid Handling that folds its companion mods
into a single package. Adds tiered underground pipe extensions, junctions, rotatable
pipes-to-ground, underground pumps, and valves — with optional Pyanodon and simplified-recipe
modes built right in.

Replaces these mods

This mod merges the features of the following into one, so you only need this:

• Advanced Fluid Handling
• Advanced Fluid Handling For PyMods
• Advanced Fluid Handling (simple)
• Less Advanced Fluid Handling
• Advanced Fluid Handling Casting

You do not need any of the above installed alongside this — everything is included and
toggled automatically or via startup settings. Remove them to avoid conflicts.

Features

• Underground pipe extensions — I, L, T, and Cross shaped underground pipe pieces.
• Rotatable pipes-to-ground — pipes-to-ground with I, L, T, and Cross underground outputs
  whose underground port rotates independently of the above-ground port. Press CTRL + R
  to rotate the underground port(s).
• Multi-connection pipes — 1→2, 1→3, and 1→4 surface-to-underground junctions in several
  orientations.
• 3 tiers of underground pump — colour-coded so they're easy to tell apart in your
  inventory and on recipe pages.
• Valves — overflow, top-up, and check valves using the modern valve prototype.

Optional: Pyanodon integration (automatic)

When pyindustry and pyhightech are present, the mod automatically retunes itself for
Pyanodon — no extra download:

• Recipes, underground distances, and pipeline extents adjusted to match Py pipes.
• Compatible with Py's braided pipes (tier-matched connection categories).
• Underground pumps rebalanced to the vanilla pump.
• Tiers renamed to Iron / Niobium / Multipurpose.
• Removes the 4-to-4 pipe; valve flow rates doubled.

Startup settings (shown only when the Py mods are active):

• Reskin pipe-to-grounds to match Pyanodon pipe graphics (on by default).
• Make undergrounds longer by one tile to match vanilla AFH distances (off by default).

Installs without Pyanodon are completely unaffected.

Optional: Simplified recipes (startup setting)

Enable "Simplified recipes" to flatten pipe/pump/valve recipes down to their base
materials and hide the intermediate items (couplers, pipe segments, swivel joint):

• Base pipes need only iron.
• Higher tiers use their own tier material automatically — e.g. niobium for niobium pipes
  under Pyanodon. Without Py: base/T2 use iron, T3 uses iron + steel.
• Adds Foundry casting recipes when Space Age's foundry is available.

⚠️ While this setting is on, the intermediate items are hidden and disabled — existing
blueprints or production lines that build or use them will break.

Optional: Configurable Valves

If Configurable Valves is installed, this mod's fixed overflow/top-up/check valves are
redundant (theirs are adjustable in direction and threshold). By default their recipes are
retired so you don't have two overlapping valve sets — existing placed valves and blueprints
keep working. A startup setting ("Defer valves to Configurable Valves", on by default,
shown only when that mod is present) lets you keep both.

Compatibility

• Factorio 2.1+.
• Optional support for Space Exploration, Space Age, Dectorio, and Bob's Logistics.
• no-pipe-touching supported.
