I've been looking for a mod which colours pipes more obviously so my bases are easier to read at a glance. This mod's /paint-pipes works well (I'm not interested in manually crafting coloured pipes), but removing and laying pipes after the fact don't pick up colour. Would it be possible to have a setting where pipes are coloured automatically depending on which liquid is inside of them?

I made a separate mod, https://mods.factorio.com/mod/color-coded-pipe-planner, that adds a planner tool to drag over your base.

You can also turn off the color coded pipe recipes in mod settings, and the planner will still work (robots will use base pipes to build the color coded ones)

Hopefully that’s close enough to what you’re wanting? Let me know if you have any feedback :)

Hey,

at the moment i use the planner mod to color code, but it would be nicer if the pipes etc. change their color automatically by the fluid inside them.
Because in my Pyanodons play through i got pipes that have different fluids inside them from time to time., or sometimes just none.

So here my request: * Pipes etc. gets colored automatically by the fluid inside them * Setting for remember first fluid, so they don't get recolored when another or none fluid is inside them (default off) * Setting for remember last fluid, so they don't get blank when none is inside them (default on)

Maybe put that in an extra mod?
