So, I've been working on a new mod. I've

[frail otter]

I haven't modded much, but can't you just make the underground pipes invisible? Or do you want them to ve visible sometimes?

[grave mountain]

You do want them to be visible when working with them

But I do agree, I'm not much a fan of the current underground graphics

[frail otter]

Aren't the new pipe network lines visible enough to work with "ïnvisible" underground pipes? Otherwise, to change the graphics mid-game you would have to use a compound entity I think.

[grave mountain]

You can do it without a compound entity. It's just going to need LuaRendering

[cinder sentinel]

Was gonna same the same thing. Only really need to see it when building, and then the visualization is enough

[grave mountain]

Which, you can set the graphics to need alt-mode

[cinder sentinel]

Although the mechanism to remove pipes might need a different approach

[cinder sentinel]

Alt mode is always on though, which means you're back where you started 😛

But this is an awesome idea!

[steel ore]

I hadnt thought of that, i thought it would be cool to see them still

Ill see how it plays without them

[turbid otter]

can you do underunderground pipes to cross underground pipes

[steel ore]

🤔

Mayhaps

Although you would most certainly want some differentiating graphics at that point

[turbid otter]

at what point are you just going to make pipelayer lol

[steel ore]

Nah, the point was to be on the same map with no gui
