Parallel Piping


Allows you to easily construct pipes running in parallel, without connecting. Designed as a less fancy alternative to Flow Configuration, without the inventory complexity of Flow Control.

Even more control over pipes. With the same results as Flow Control and Flow Configuration, Parallel Piping allows pipes to be constructed in parallel, without connecting. By default, nothing is connected, not even machines. Create new connecitons by dragging a pipe between two entities.

Pairs very well with lots of fluids... In fact, very well with mods that turn things into fluids...

Compatibility:

  • Pipe Junctions: Fully compatible. A well-suited combination, allows you to (almost) build things like belts.
  • Actual Underground Pipes: Fully compatible. In fact, they work rather well together! I can highly recommend it!
  • No Pipe Touching: Fully compatible. NOTE: If used in conjunction with AUP, all underground pipes are forced to share the same layer.

Incompatibilities:

If you wish to add compatibility with a mod, talk to me on github or discord so we can sort it out.

Uninstallation

This mod changes pipe entities in-world. This means that, when removed, all existing pipes will be destroyed. Please send me a DM on discord if you want a migration package, I have to generate those per-save. This is not possible to fix in the mod.

History

This is a variant of No Pipe Touching, based on the original implementation of Incompatible Pipes by sticklord. I thought of this a while back when rebuilding the mod, and it's stuck with me ever since. Glad to finally get it implemented.

If you have a mod idea, let me know and I can look into it.
