About Parallel Piping

From Factorio Mod Portal

Allows you to easily construct pipes running in parallel, without connecting. Designed as a less fancy alternative to Flow Configuration, without the inventory complexity of Flow Control.

ko-fi

Even more control over pipes. With the same results as Flow Control and Flow Configuration, Parallel Piping allows pipes to be constructed in parallel, without connecting. By default, nothing is connected, not even machines. Create new connecitons by dragging a pipe between two entities.

Pairs very well with lots of fluids... In fact, very well with mods that turn things into fluids...

Incompatibilities:

If you wish to add compatibility with a mod, talk to me on github or discord so we can sort it out.

Uninstallation

This mod changes pipe entities in-world. This means that, when removed, all existing pipes will be destroyed. Please send me a DM on discord if you want a migration package, I have to generate those per-save. This is not possible to fix in the mod.

History

This is a variant of No Pipe Touching, based on the original implementation of Incompatible Pipes by sticklord. I thought of this a while back when rebuilding the mod, and it's stuck with me ever since. Glad to finally get it implemented.

Prototyped by _CodeGreen

My mods are made 100% by humans, with no computer generated code or graphics. If you have a mod idea, let me know and I can look into it.
