Automatic Pipeline Color

Enhance your fluid management with adaptive color-coding and emissive pipe variants!

This mod introduces custom pipelines that dynamically adjust their color based on the fluid flowing through them, providing quick visual identification and a modern aesthetic for your factory's pipe networks.

Key Features

Fluid-Adaptive Color: Pipelines automatically detect the internal fluid type and update their color in real-time.

Mk2 Emissive Pipes: High-tech variants featuring glowing emissive effects for night-time visibility.

Two Pipeline Variants: Flexible options including pipelines with and without integrated flow indicators.

How it Works

Automatic Detection: Simply build the pipelines as you normally would and connect them to your fluid sources. The pipes instantly read the internal liquid/gas type and recolor the outer casing accordingly.

Benefits

Visual Fluid Identification: Instantly distinguish between Heavy Oil Residue, Fuel, Water, or Nitric Acid at a glance.

Improved Factory Clarity: Streamline troubleshooting and optimize complex liquid logistics setups.

Aesthetic Enhancement: Give your processing plants a vibrant, organized, and glowing futuristic look.

Alternative Option

Honest note: Emissive pipes add a great visual flair, but keep in mind that curved pipe segments might show minor visual artifacts. Enjoy the cleaner pipeline view!
