where are these made

"Also note that with this mod, liquids will drain out the background if these pipes are that background layer. So it could be a "poor man's drain" without requiring you to leave a whole in your house etc... a fact you may especially enjoy for under-ocean bases"

Does that not also mean that pipe backgrounds below sea level will leak and flood the room?

Yes the pipe blocks will act like no block is there as far as liquids are concerned. But for everything else, there will still be a collision. So the player can still stand on pipes, can't walk through them, can't shoot through them, etc.

ah, so what you've done is basically turn the pipe blocks into as if there were no background tiles there but of course another background tile behind that so the water doesn't just *disappear* into the nothingness so instead it just travels down the pipe blocks and to whatever it finishes at?

Objects technically don't have collisions either. Although many items have collisions via adding metamaterial tiles. So they have the same limitations. But they can do things (with scripting) like destroying liquids from one spot, and spawning it in another. But that's more for a pump than a pipe.

Oh...I'm an idiot then......I must have somehow missed that top part of the description.... hahahahaha ...

I see....what if you make the pipes not be tiles but like furniture where you just place it down? Maybe edit the pipes such that it's no longer perceived as a tile but as an interactable object? Would that change anything?

Ah that is answered at the top of the description.
>With this simple mod, pipes don't block liquid flow. Sort of like you'd expect but with some limitations.
>I'd rather they only took from the end of the pipe, but pipes are just blocks so I don't think there is a fancy way to implement as much. Keep blocks to the sides of the pipes, and it will look natural.

The engine itself doesn't let you set collisions on only part of a tile. The pipes are all or nothing.

I had thought about making a tool that you could click on the pipes, and it would put a custom block that is invisible, doesn't allow liquids to pass, and doesn't block anything else. It would determine where that block is needed. But as is, the mod isn't adding new assets and that has server implications.

If I add that, this mod would then be adding new assets including new blocks. I do have a block like that already in my "blocks and objects" mod. Very see-through normally and can be painted invisible.

I think I need to illustrate my question with a MS Paint drawing.....

The grey is the background tiles, yellow = solid blocks, blue = water, green = border of example, black are the pipe blocks

@Boltte
It won't teleport water, no. Assuming I understand the question properly.

The simple way to look at it is this - liquids will behave the same as though there is no block at all. But as for everything else, they will treat the pipes like blocks.

A draining effect occurs when there is no block in the background, right? The same thing will occur if that background tile is a pipe because liquids act like no block is there at all.

so this will drain water even if the drain hole is blocked by another block? For example only have having water on top of the pipes bu the pipe openings themselves are blocked by a block or lead elsewhere not meant for the water that it's gone through?

With this mod - as far as liquids are concerned - pipes in the background will act like no background at all. So they'll drain in most cases. IIRC in oceans water may instead flood in.

would it flows water if plumbing is in background, to acts like a vent?

guys its just a normale pipe ,water go trought it thats all...

This mod doesn't add any valves. Just an edit to a couple vanilla tiles.

It would be possible to add something like that, but only as an object.

can the liquids run through pipes with valves to turn the water on and off?

its like the "blinds" block

Any liquid will flow as it normally does - through vanilla pipes - as though the pipes where not there. But for all other intents and purposes the pipes will actually be there. They'd be solid except towards liquids.

and any liquid flows normally from that you edited?
cause, i was looking into my subs mods to remove any imcompatible, it will be my 2nd time to use frackin

frackin universe works?

oh noice

Really this won't ever need an update. Although I might "update" it (reupload the same thing) after the next SB update since people (incorrectly) assume mods always need updates. But that's only true if something in the engine changed that specifically breaks them. Something this simple isn't likely to ever be an issue.

is the mod still up to date?

bei mir funktioniert es irgendwie nich kann mir jemand tipps geben ?

I only got this game recently and to my surprise when I unlocked those pipes they did absolutely nothing. It was very disappointing but it's nice to see modders quick at work. Here's to you.

Yep this is a simple mod unlikely to ever break

still works, right?

i think if water goes through a sewer pipe it should turn to poison XD

Yes this still works.

Since 1.3 the devs added the same attribute to some other tiles where it makes sense. Not all materials are water-tight anymore :P Still could do this with certain doors like the portulous etc.

But the vanilla pipes are water-tight. Unless you have this mod. Sadly with the same (SB engine) limitations as before.

Does it work?

@nightmare_darkstar
I had to put that in Google Translate. I only speak English.

This is a general error to do with Starbound itself(or maybe dependency), not a tiny mod like this. The timing of you getting this error would only be coindicence. Tell Steam to "verify the integrity of the game cache" - or whatever it says in Japanese - but with the same idea.

私はそれをGoogle翻訳に入れなければならなかった。 私は英語しか話せません。

これはStarbound自体（または依存関係）とは一般的なエラーであり、このような小さなmodではありません。 あなたがこのエラーに遭うタイミングは、偶然にすぎません。 Steamに "ゲームキャッシュの完全性を検証する"ように言います。

pipe flowを導入するとver1.2.3bでは動作しなくなります。
動作しなくなった場合、vc_redist.x64.exeとvc_redist.x86.exeを使って修復し再起動をした上でプレイヤーデータその他も削除しないと起動できません。
致命的なバグと言えます

that might not be ideal if you are not able to see if you are placing anything except by looking at the number of blocks remaining or the sound of placing a block.

I probably should make that liquid blocking tile invisible by default, and let you paint it to make it visible. Now that I think about it.

I probably will get the other mod then, I've decided to reclaim a toxic ocean planet and colonize it, having pipes is part of the palette of blocks I'm using.

@Lost Echo hmm yeah that could happen. I've never tried these on an ocean planet. Now if you really wanted to have background pipes without that happening, the mod I have linked in the description has a liquid blocking tile (which has no other collisions but liquid) aka opposite of the pipes. It can be painted invisible too.

Put that in the foreground and liquids cannot pass plus it shouldn't mess up the theme you're going for. Obviously this could be VERY useful for ocean planets. Put these in front of your door too keep the ocean out... if you still want a door.

you say that the pipes in the background work like drains for water in the foreground, how does this fare on ocean planets where the background also has liquids, and breaking the walls leads to flooding? the discription sounds like using these under the ocean layer would make the pipes act like there was nothing there, and flood my base with acid....

1.1 SB updated. Mod still works fine.

@Thundercraft - I can't. The tiles cannot have a different attribute for the background compared to the foreground. All or nothing. This mod is adds
[code]"blocksLiquidFlow" : false[/code]
to the tiles. When tiles that don't block flow are in the background, liquid drains as if no background tile at all. From the perspective of (only) liquids, there is no tile at all in these spaces.

The solution is to either use a different tile for the background... or as you have done uninstall.

No the new blocks are a separate mod. Trying to keep this exact mod very vanilla friendly.

I don't care too much for the idea of this mod adding new blocks in future updates...
I'd rather it just focus on vanilla blocks and objects that are logically tied to liquids.

No offense taken :D

Hello bk3000. I'm using google translator and description had parts that he translated wrong. I apologize for that. :3

@Veterano I said as much in my description. Sadly this is as much as I can do with SB's tile engine and I intended this as a simple, non-object solution to plumbing. Collisions are all or nothing per tile/block. Just put something besides the pipe where you don't want it to come out. I'll add a block to make this easier in a soon to be released mod. It stops ONLY liquids, and can be painted to be invisible. Also doors that stop liquids, etc. Good stuff like that. Stay tuned.

The channels do not work, they are only a garnish. Fluid leaks trough them.

i do agre with Fervent this is a good idea for vinila game for thies how hate to mod or are trying to do a no mod game play.

I swore there is more than two kinds of pipes in the game...
Then again there are a lot of pipe looking features and furniture tied to the Steam Boiler Biome in vanilla.

This is another one that arguably should have been part of the original game in the first place. Much appreciated.

Hi, I've included your mod as part of my mod collection: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=748797522&savesuccess=1

@Thundercraft - I strongly expect it would be fine because (despite that description) it doesn't literally "use" the pipes. It checks for the pipes merely being present as a means to connect points. When objects "send" something, they're actually destroying it, and respawning it elsewhere.
