About Simple Gauge

From Factorio Mod Portal

A simple pipe sized tank you can use to read a fluid segment's content

This is a simple mod that adds a storage tank with the same dimensions as a pipe so you can read it's content to control pump or anything you need with the circuit network.

Compatibility This mod includes compatibility with Krastorio's steel pipes. Feel free to teel me if you find any incompatibility or to submit a pull request if you're able to fix it yourself

to add compatibility in your own mod, you can get the function creating the gauge from a pipe prototype with a few lines like the following exemple

    if mods["simple-gauge"] then
	    create_from_pipe_prototype = require("__simple-gauge__.scripts.create_from_pipe_prototype")
    	create_from_pipe_prototype("your-pipe-name", "your-pipe-unlock-tech")
    end

If you don't specify an unlock tech, the base game's "fluid-handling" tech will be used
