Larger Machines

[merry cloud]

this is so cool

it also gave me the idea to use ducts for my particle accelerator mod :3

[frozen cape]

Nvm mod portal was weird

[dry gale]

Very cool! I like the ducts idea

[rain wing]

alright it looks impressive that you've managed to integrate the ducts so well, this is very interesting

pinging @magic mason since no one hasn't yet

[magic mason]

Niiice

[rain wing]

im quite surprised it all lines up so well

i mean it makes sense but it feels non obvious

@polar leaf also that aint vanilla striped concrete right?

I spent like 2 hours adjusting shifts, each spage machine has more cursed pipe connections than the last

[polar leaf]

asphalt mod for one of the pictures

[polar leaf]

Do it. Big machines need big pipes

[merry cloud]

I'm already doing it

[polar leaf]

also a fun fact - ducts were due to graphical limitation.

I thought "what if machine but larger" and made a simple enlarging algorithm. After a bunch of messing with the pipes to make them somewhat stick, I realized it looks completely ass with the vanilla pipes - graphics look downright broken due to larger connections. Then I remembered Fluid Must Flow exists, so I changed my scaling to be exactly 2x and installed Fluid Must Flow to see if it would work, and it did!

its a match made in heaven

[amber echo]

is there any chance this can have a setting or an ability or whatever to add the big buildings as a variant building so you can have your cake and eat it too, since big building with like 5x speed for big production, but very big and locked behind maraxsis, seems fair enough to me balance wise
Is this kind of thing what the library is for

[polar leaf]

not sure if I like the idea of multiple of the same building but diff sizes

and maraxsis is the current issue, yeah, it locks the ducts behind itself

[amber echo]

I mean even if it's something I made that's why I'm asking "would the library let me make copies of buildings and make them go Large Mode"

[polar leaf]

it doesn't make copies by itself, but you could certainly have another mod create copy of a building and then calling my mod to enlarge it
