Valves
Fully functioning overflow, top-up and one-way(check) as separate entities with animations. The thresholds can be configured using shortcuts.
Shortcuts (configurable)
- Numpad +: Increase threshold for overflow or top-up valves.
- Numpad -: Decrease threshold for overflow or top-up valves.
Settings
- Startup settings for default thresholds for overflow and top-up valves.
- A startup setting for the valves' pump speed when it's open.
Compatibility
Should be comptatibile with most mods. If it's not compatible, please let me know.
- Pyanodons: Will automatically migrate old Factorio 1.1 valves to their 2.0 counter part.
Limitation with Pumps
A valve's output cannot be connected to a pump's input, regardless of valve type. Due to a game engine limitation the pump will bypass the valve as if it's not there. The one image in the gallery shows the different pump connections. You can check for bad valve connections in game at any point using /valves-find-bad-connections
.
UPS Impact
These valves use the prototypes provided by the game engine. That means it probably has less of a UPS impact than normal pumps. There are no fluid calculations done in this mod itself.
