Hello,

I tried your mod but it do not seem to work on my side, the Plasma Duct don't connect to the Thruster nor the Thruster fusion plasma generator.
I tried with other mod like No Pipe Touching 2.0, and it work... But it connect normal pipe too.

Thank you in advance ~

Did you use the regular plasma duct or the new thruster version? This mod does no changes to original ducts. It only provides duplicates that do work.
Make sure you are using "Thruster plasma duct" and not regular "Plasma duct".

Oooh, I see, I used the original one.
Then, question: Why doing another one? I'm a bit confused.

So you can still have a way to route plasma to thrusters while placing reactors far away? And not directly near thrusters?

The original fusion reactor and the thruster fusion reactor have different pipe connection types despite looking the same.
Which means pipes that connect to them must also have different connection types. What this mod does is add these pipes.

I'm not going to allow to connect the regular reactors with thruster ones; as they have vastly different plasma production rates (look at it, leg. Thruster plasma reactor produces 150 plasma per sec from just water! While regular one produces only 10 / s and requires fluoroketone!)

No, I mean doing a copy of the original duct x'D , I know the purpose of duct/pipe.
I just wanted to know why you didn't use the original plasma duct.

So it's not possible to make it compatible with Fusion Thrusters Output/Input?

And yea, it's also possible to make hot Flurokiton with water, it's almost free/cheat x'D

I think it would be better if the fusion thrusters mod had it's own fluid, different from plasma (Maybe ion, or something else like that), it would avoid confusion and stuff with mod that use plasma in the "regular way".

(Sorry if my answers/question are wonky, I'm pretty tired x'p)

I didn't use the original duct because of how connections are defined technically. (And it also would have been super OP)

Yeah, honestly it would be better if it just produced different plasma; Water plasma instead of fluoroketone plasma. Just make a different fluid with other color, easy.
Instead of messing with connection types.
It also made me confused at first.

Do you have any issues with just using the new duct? The crafting recipe should be the same. Unless you have already crafted a ton of original one.
(Then I can add a recipe to convert between types for free)

Anyways, mod seems to work as intended.

I don't find any issue yet with your version of the Plasma Duct.

And it's a good idea giving the option to swap between the Duct.
I don't have an actual gameplay for now, I try to build a "personal" modpack and try stuff to see if the mod work together or not.

But I'm more and more interested/motivated to make my own thruster mod, but my programming level is quite low ^^'

Making your own thruster is easy code wise, you can look at an existing factorio code for thruster for that + official API
It's the drawing the animated sprites is the hard part.

I see.
I also wanted to try some stuff with Blender, but I'm not sure to be able to do anything in the end ^^'

And so sorry if the discussion got carried away from the original topic.
