Hardened pipes

by Pi-C

Hardened pipes are expensive, and it requires some know-how to make them. However, they come with strong resistances and are ideal for use at the front-line. If biters or spitters always destroy the pipes that supply your flamethrower or water turrets, you should consider replacing them with hardened pipes!

Version: 0.17.1
Date: 2019-11-02T13:44:00+02:00
  Info:
    - Initial release

  Major Features:
    - This mod provides expensive pipes with strong resistances against attacks and friendly fire:
      - Acid:           45/90%
      - Explosion:      40/80%
      - Fire:           35/70%
      - Physical:       40/80%
      Hardened pipes/underground pipes are immune against impact, so they won't be damaged if you crash into them with a vehicle. However, your vehicle will take damage!

    - You can set the maximum distance covered by hardened underground pipes. The amount of ingredients for hardened underground pipes is calculated by this formula: Base ingredients * (maximum distance + 2).

Version: 0.17.2
Date: 2019-11-03T16:46:00+02:00
  Bugfixes:
    - Prevented mod from spamming the log file with useless debugging output.

  Major Features:
    - Added a setting "Easy ratios": The amount of ingredients used in the recipe for hardened underground pipes depends on the maximum distance (i.e. input pipe + number of invisible pipes + output pipe) they cover, so the number of assemblers making the hardened pipes needed to supply one assembler for hardened underground pipes may vary from game to game. If this option is active, the time needed to make a pair of hardened underground pipes will be extended in such a way that one assembler of hardened pipes will always be sufficient to supply one assembler of hardened underground pipes. Using this option will save you the work to calculate the ratio and allow for simpler setups; however, you will need more assemblers in total if you want to produce the same number of hardened underground pipes.
