Colour code pipes based on contents?

Post by IsaacOscar »

Bassically, I'd love a mod like this https://mods.factorio.com/mod/color-coded-pipes, but instead of having to manually choose the colour of pipes when you place them (and have to manage all the different items...), it does it automatically for you based on the contents of the pipe.

I know there is a very helpful colour line when you hover over a pipe, but I think my factory would just look so much nicer if the pipes were nicely coloured.
(Or alternatively, make the pipe windows bigger, so you can see the colour more easily? Unfortunately this won't look as nice if the pipes don't have much fluid in them).

Did you see this companion mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/color-coded-pipe-planner ? Simply use the planner over the new build and they are colored. Sure an automatic coloring would be nice, but I guess that would come with significant UPS waste, cause it would ALWAYS check EVERY pipe.
