Valves


Adds three seperate animated valves for pipes: overflow, top-up and one-way/check valves. Inspired by Flow Control and Advanced Fluid Handling. The thresholds can be configured using shortcuts. Uses valve functionality provided by Factorio.

i [Won't Implement] Consider adding a conditionless one-way valve

7 months ago

I often use the overflow valve with a threshold of zero as a compact, one tile pump. It would be nice if this mod included a dedicated valve for this - basically just a pump with no power cost and the gui (and thus filters) disabled. This would mean no hidden entities would be required, and would save having to set the threshold to zero (which is a lot of key presses).

It is only a minor convenience, but I feel such a valve would fit with the other ones provided, and would also be extremely simple to implement :)

Hello! Thanks for the suggestion. But IMO what you're describing is not a valve, just a small 1x1 pump that doesn't use electricity. So I don't think it fits as part of this mod.

It's easy to implement though as a seperate mod. You could ask on the forums or Factorio Discord if a modder wants to make it for you. Or you could give it a go yourself :)

Fair enough. My rationale was mostly that you can already do such a thing using the overflow valve, but if you don't think it'd fit with your mod, I'm happy to make it myself. Do you mind if I use recoloured versions of your valve graphics?

Not at all. I took it from the Flow Control mod :P
