Valves

Overflow, top-up and one-way(check) valves, just like Flow Control and Advanced Fluid Handling. The thresholds can be configured using shortcuts.

This is a fully standalone mod, even though it's uses the techniques used in Configurable Valves. The difference is you can only set the thresholds using shortcuts, whereas with Configurable Valves you can set the conditions directly.

Shortcuts (configurable)

  • Numpad +: Increase threshold for overflow or top-up valves.
  • Numpad -: Decrease threshold for overflow or top-up valves.

Settings

  • 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.

UPS Impact

This valve has no measurable performance impact. The worst case is a using a pump + combinator + storage-tank to control fluid movement, while the overflow and top-up valve only has a storage-tank + pump. There are no on_tick calculations.
