[MOD 0.11.x+] Straight Pipes - Easier liquid handling

Check out CleanPipes instead -> https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 79&p=36430

Just a quick mod that adds 2 extra pipes to the game. East/West Pipes which only connect horizontally and North/South pipes that only connect vertically. They cost the same as normal pipes and are unlocked from the start like normal pipes. This idea for this mod came from this thread.

Image

The sprites are just recoloured pipe sprites and look a little funny when connecting to the normal pipes. If someone wants to make better looking sprites I will happily include them. Please... I hate looking at the green/blue pipes. I tried to draw an arrow on them but it just looked funny...

While I have tested with 0.9.8 the pipe entity this was based on was from 0.10.0 so there might be some issues relating to that. Let me know if anything crops up.

Updated to only green pipes. I also changed the recipe to be 1 pipe instead of 1 iron plate. Also now when mined the straight pipes will drop a normal pipe. Let me know what you think, I've kept both versions up if you prefer the old recipe/drop.

good job man, i think this will help a lot of the ocd people out there. I have personally wanted to place a straight pipe a couple times when doing some compact pipe stuff

I just cleaned up my current pipe works using these, it is a lot smaller now. Combined with the ability to walk between pipes in 0.10 our lives just got a lot easier when dealing with liquids.

Looks like there's a conflict with DyTech...

DyTech|data.lua:31:
attempt to concatenate local 'colour' (a nil value)

Probably overrides the pipepictures function that DyTech uses.

That was exactly it, I just renamed the function and it fixed the issue, thanks.

That's not a bad idea. This mod is small enough for a forum upload as well. Google drive is a bad habit I just can't seem to shake.

I wonder if it is possible to make a rotate command cycle through the three states of a pipe. As in, vertical, horizontal, and all.

I had a bit of a play with that idea but couldn't get it to work. That said I didn't spend that long on it. It would be nice because then I could include corner pipes as well.
