Dredgeworks

by Kubius

Ore patches now spill over into the sea as submerged variants. Dredge them up with new floating hardware, and build deeper into the blue with water-placeable refined concrete.

i floating pipes and pumps

can you add floating pipes and pumps to support submerged uranium and thorium mining as well as off shore oil platforms not having them added feels incomplete

More "formal" offshore oil platforms, and a distinct offshore oil deposit type, are already provided by Cargo Ships (a recommended pairing to this mod). Regarding pipes, extraction of submerged uranium and thorium can be done with a support structure around the mining site (would typically be constructed using refined concrete); drills can pass fluid through each other, so it's possible to create a set of continuous lines of drills for extraction purposes with the extraction fluid being fed at one end.

As an aside, there was a separate Underwater Pipes mod that made for a good pairing. I might look into reviving that for 2.0 (it has a highly permissive license) if no one else does.

i have cargo ships but still need land fill to put the fluids in ships i have elevated pipes wich helps but the idea is to not need to place a bunch of landfill got everything else floating i thought maybe there should be pipe support for the deposits requiring acid but i guss that was a ridiculous idea

You don't need landfill. Dredgeworks lets you use just refined concrete as a less expensive and more visually pleasing alternative.

Heyo, i just got notified that my mod AUP does not work with dredgeworks fluid seafloor mining. I can see that it's a design flaw, rather than a bug, so I'm wondering if my mod is installed should the seafloor drills' pipe connections be converted to use my underground variant? It would allow you to build completely 'structureless' outposts that require no land to be built on.

If so let me know, I'd need to handle compatibility on my end

I think that'd probably be a reasonable way to handle it.

Sounds good, I'll look into an implementation

Apologies in advance if you get bug reports asking why normal pipes don't connect :P
