About Pipeline Color

From ficsit.app

Auto-colors pipelines from network fluid. Dynamic Customizer swatches, custom-only store, metallic gases by default.

PipelineColor

Version 1.3.1 · Satisfactory 1.2 (≥491125) · SML ^3.12.0

Auto-colors pipelines from network fluid. Dynamic Customizer swatches, custom-only store, metallic gases by default.

How it works

  • Discovery: every loaded RF_LIQUID / RF_GAS item descriptor (vanilla + mods) → ClassGen swatch + recipe; Customizer subcategory = mod FriendlyName (e.g. Default, Refined Power)
  • Catalog keys: OwnerMod_Stem (e.g. FactoryGame_Water, RefinedPower_RP_…). UI labels use item display names
  • Liquids / gases: RGB from mFluidColor / mGasColor (!pc <fluid> liquid|gas); gases metallic by default (!Metallic)
  • Empty: PC Empty Pipe (Neutral) + Matte
  • Unknown: PC ERR0R (Fallback) + magenta (#FF00FF)
  • Store: SaveGame keeps only Customizer-edited swatches; unedited fluids use live catalog defaults (Customizer icons still show catalog colors)
  • Supports: floor / stackable / wall / wall-hole parents inherit the touched pipe’s fluid look
  • Server/host applies paint; clients receive the result

Chat commands

Type on the server or listen host. Commands start with ! and do not appear in public chat. Responses show as Hal: system messages.

  • !Metallic <fluid> / all on / all off / default — metallic flags only (cfg)
  • !pc <fluid> liquid|gas — RGB color source (metallic untouched)
  • !pc default — clear custom SaveGame swatch edits (catalog defaults)
  • !pchelp — short list

Same verbs register with SML for Chat Mk 2 expandable help. Full list: Documentation/chat-commands.md.

Config

No SML Mods menu. Edit Configs/PipelineColor.cfg on the host, use console PipelineColor.Set, or chat. See Documentation/console-commands.md.

| Key | Default | Notes | |-----|---------|-------| | CfgSchema | 2 | Prefixed catalog keys; older cfg full-reseeds on load | | DefaultGasMetallic | true | Gases metallic when no per-fluid override | | DefaultLiquidMetallic | false | Liquids metallic when no per-fluid override | | MetallicOverrides | {} | Per catalog key (FactoryGame_Water, …) | | ColorSourceOverrides | {} | Per catalog key (liquid / gas); default seed includes FactoryGame_NitrogenGas → gas |
