Underground Storage Tank

by fgardt

Adds a large buried storage tank with a capacity of 250k (configurable). Since they are mostly underground you can easily walk / drive over them. Additionally you can select if you want the more vanilla looking opaque top with fill indicator, completely closed top or a transparent one with custom internal fluid animation by changing a startup setting.

i Hide unconnected pipe ends

Hey there! I really like your mod. :)
Thats why I have a suggestion: Can you hide the unconnected pipe ends?
And a special challenge: If you hold a pipe in your hand while placing it, the hidden ends will become visible (as ghosts).
Alternative: Pressing a key while the mouse cursor is on the tank will display the hidden ports (just like with the Factorissimo halls and their connection arrows).

The idea is certainly neat and it would probably also look pretty good.
Theoretically it could be implemented but it would be rather complex (lots of edge cases, etc) and the mod is currently just not built up for this :/

Well, you've already taken care of one of the most annoying things: The pipe graphics are separated from the tank. So you don't need to tinker with the graphics any extra. :)
My alternative idea (to show the hidden pipes again by pressing a key) makes the whole thing a whole lot easier than my first idea.
Your mod has 8000 downloads, it would certainly be worth it. 😇
