Any mod that creates an underground-pipe-underground entity?

Post by Locane »

Does anyone know of a mod that creates a third pipe entity; this would be a convenience entity that is an underground pipe, a normal pipe, and an underground pipe all in one?

I make so many of these and having to create them every time and then copy / paste seems like something that could (should) be easily automated without the need to click on a blueprint.

This is exactly what blueprints are for. iirc there are no more click needed than for normal entities

What do you even mean? Please explain this. I could actually make this as a mod if I knew what it is.

This sounds like a heresy that i saw long time ago being done by Advanced Fluid Handling mod.

This is my favourite solution for it, as it doesn’t add extra entities.

Oh my god yes - this is awesome. It's not exactly what I was asking about but helping with the corners too is awesome.

I was asking if there's a mod that just makes the middle pipe set in this picture a single entity that can be crafted and placed like any other item in the game so I don't have to manually do it every time.

Yes, I know blueprints exist, but I want an item I can hotbar and place that looks like an entity and not a big blue square.

You can configure the blueprint to show the icon of the underground pipe so it's easily recognizable.
