Basic Overview of Mod
Graphical Guide on How to get started and some explained Mechanics of the mod.
Setting up your first Pipe Network & Mechanics

------------------------------------------------
Below Information was written before the Guide. You can read it, none of it is wrong. Just the Graphical guide would be much better :)

Pipes:
This mod might be confusing as it has a Red and a Blue pipe which maybe analogous to Heating and Cooling pipes.

But, Since this Mod has a unified heating and cooling system. It needs only 1 of those two pipes.

The 3rd Pipe is the Cyan Pipe which you can use for Fridges.

These pipes are just colored, you can use them any way you like, but I kept the color so it's easy for us to decode which pipe has what role.

Basic Setup:
- Create some intakes
- Connect them to a Climate unit
- Connect the Climate unit or any part of the Network to the Vent

How to know if everything is good:
Inspect each of the 3 buildings. If they are all working without any errors then you are good to go. And you rooms will also have the desired temperature.


What you can't do / don't need to do:
- You can't share components like Intakes between networks - Every network, be it a Room Temp network or Fridge Network, has to have a separate intake + climate + vents

- If you are having any connection issues, check if there are multiple pipes you placed on that tile. There is a priority of pipes - Red network gets made 1st, so it will tend to get the "White" pipes like vents, climate units and intake fans. (Priority Order: Red, Blue and then Cyan)

- You don't need separate heating/cooling unit. It's all in one. :)


If you have any doubts on how things work, post it here. I will add it to this topic if needed.
