Have you ever gotten frustrated with the way the pipes work underground? Do you get tired of running into those pesky surface pipes over long distance piping? How about those wild excessive overground space consuming junctions? Maybe even that one little space you wish you could fit a single pipe into to run a pipe under an assembly line instead of having to reconfigure the whole thing?

Are you a Petrochem masochist?

Well, if so, then this mod is for you!

You must research the included technology before the below features unlock. Basic fluid handling is a pre-requisite, and it only takes 50 red research.
Hover your mouse over any 1-to-1, 1-to-2, or 1-to-3 pipe and press CONTROL+R (the default setting).


Now with adjustable overflow and top up valves! Use NUM + or - to adjust!

An interesting side effect of the mod is that you're reducing the amount of pipe entities in the world, so you're going to reduce the UPS overhead for each pipe you never had to install.

EXAMPLE: A four way underground pipe junction goes from 5 total pipes to 1.
Each pipe entity has it's own fluid box that must be calculated. The underground portion of underground pipes are non-existent as far as fluid calculation goes. The fluid effectively "teleports" between the two endpoints. (This is standard game behavior.)

ENGINE LIMITATIONS:
--Pumps with underground input do not display fluid color when pumping or containing fluids.
