I get very lost between my dozens of conveyor tracks and some tool for this would be amazing.

wait shit, this is a great idea! maybe some kind of dye you can buy and apply? would let you check on sight the source the conveyor comes from, or separate which tracks are for processing what

In theory, you can create paints in a store and paint each segment of the conveyor piece by piece.

#

But I would much rather have different types of lighting - neon, halogen and those that are brighter than oil lamps. So that you can light up a lot more space. And if the floors can also be laid in different materials and colors, it's generally gorgeous. And then you can make a real factory out of a gloomy mine.

I love this idea. Even if the color was reset on pickup it would be a huge win. (I say this because your inventory would be blasted by too many parts if there was a slot for each colored item)

maybe am thinking rust here, sorry if I am but choose the colour before slapping them down. like a colour wheel to select colour before hand. Maybe just a spray can will do.

neon lights would be nice on the walled conveyors thought.

Good use of coal as well to power them??

Maybe you didn't want the conveyors to be coloured, but here:

How many colors are there, and is it for all conveyor types (Standard, Walled, Roller)?

#

Looks sick btw

So no new objects are added (yet) unfortunately, but you can change the colour of stuff! I've limited it to just lighting objects as thats the mod target, but in the config file you can add any object you want, all objects are in the config file for reference. you just need to add them to the right section, really simple when you look at it! Will include everything in the mod description

Does that mean that every conveyor affected is also a light source?

tight relic
#

No, it shouldn't be as it has no pointlight

#

But ill soluble check anyway

So, press hotkey, choose color, place coloured conveyor? Or is it a bit more in depth?

#

Ill send a little video! ☺️ ill send you the mod to test too?

Yeah sure. Would be nice to color code conveyors. And, now that I think of it, to have a different light color

#

Can confirm, if object doesnt have a pointlight, there is no light, it just changes colour!
