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

Added!

I would LOVE an updated port of this mod. I feel like it is sorely missing.

Coincidentally, some guy tried to make a port yesterday, but as he said himself, he has very little experience in modding and his version currently doesn’t work as expected. I’m sure an experienced modder like you could solve that issue in a pinch :D

My mod Actual Underground Pipes pairs rather well, and just received compatibility for dredgeworks

Actual Underground Pipes has been added to Dredgepack in the optional section.

Can these underground pipes from your mod be placed on water tiles? Can you connect pumps directly to underground pipes? Because if not, then it doesn’t really do what I’m looking for (more than 1 pump per offshore oil platform, without needing landfill).

I also prefer the visuals of the old mod I mentioned earlier, because the pipes would be underwater and you could see the pipeline, as opposed to being completely invisible.

Yes they can be placed on any surface that underground pipes can connect through (so in SA, everything but lava and empty space)

By "pumps" do you mean the things used to speed up fluid flow or pumpjacks used to pump oil?

I mean the ones that speed up fluid flow. The Cargo Ships mod adds offshore oil that can be mined using oil platforms and allows pumps to be placed on water. However, the platforms only have 1 output per edge, which limits the loading of tanker ships to 1,200/s in all cases. I would like to add more pumps on one side (like train fluid loading with 3 parallel pumps), but that isn't possible, since pipes can't be placed on water.

I tested your mod and underground pipes can't connect to pumps unfortunately. I can think of two "fixes":
- allow underground pipes to connect to pumps directly (kinda cheaty)
- allow the pipe-to-ground to be placed on water (makes more sense logically and visually)

I'm hesitant to allow ptgs to be placed on water, it doesnt make sense thematically and neither does pumps on water. I feel that needing some landfill is a good requirement. In either case i cannot let the underground pipes connect to pumps.

Okay nevermind, the author of the forked Underwater Pipes mod updated the mod today and it works as expected.

Btw, the pumps being placeable on water is a feature that is built into Dredgeworks/Cargo Ships. Building landfill in the middle of the deep ocean wouldn't make sense thematically imo, because we don't do that IRL and it's kinda impossible.

Ah, nice! Sounds good

That's a Cargo Ships thing particularly.

We do make big reinforced platforms with concrete tops in shallows, though - with some frequency! That's one of the reasons I went with the approach of making refined concrete into a landfill alternative.

Yeah I'm a fan of the way you've implemented it in your mod. I just don't find vanilla landfill to be quite realistic, because that would imply making a man-made island around every oil platform.
