Descripción

Uses vanilla blocks to implement cargo and gas pipelines and electrical powerlines.

Equip a welder. All actions require a welder to perform.

Pipelines:
- Left click on the front (blank) side of a stationary unconnected piston top to start building a pipeline.
- Left click on the back (port) side of another stationary unconnected piston top that has clear line of sight, is within 1km and within a 45 degree angle of the first to make a connection.
- Left click on a stationary cargo container, conveyor sorter or gas tank to finish a pipeline.
- There must be a block with an inventory on the back (port) side of the first piston top to pull cargo or gas from.
- Pipelines only transfer in one direction approximately every 5 seconds.

Datalines:
- Left click on an advanced rotor part to start building a dataline.
- Left click on another advanced rotor part on a different grid to connect power and terminal access between them.
- 1km range limit between stationary grids, 50m range otherwise.

Powerlines:
- Left click on a (basic) rotor part to start building a powerline.
- Left click on another rotor part on a different grid to connect a cable between them.
- 1km range limit between stationary grids, 50m range otherwise.
- Both rotor parts must be attached to batteries for this connection to do anything.
- Different battery charge modes affect how the batteries balance power between them.
- Connected batteries balance power approximately every 1.5 seconds.

Removal:
- Right click on an existing pipeline or rotor part with a connected cable to start disconnecting.
- Right click again to finish disconnecting, or left click on a valid target to change the connection.

The advantage to powerlines over datalines is avoiding grid terminal connectivity, but the battery requirement makes them more involved to set up. Use datalines when you want terminal access to the remote building and use powerlines when you want semi-autonomous structures to share some power. For long distance (>1km) power connectivity without terminal access, use datalines for most of the distance, then make a substation of batteries with powerlines bridging the final gap.

Helo. Nice to have screenshots with first steps , guide screenshots. Stay save.

Does this mod need the original mods to work? I can't find these blocks.

The pipelines absolutely require connecting to stationary (static) grids; their models and collision are essentially even more static than static grids.

To support connecting moving grids would require recalculating pipeline piece placement and generating a new collider every time either end moved (potentially every frame), doing a bunch of collision checks for validity, and synchronizing it all in multiplayer. The performance cost wouldn't be unworkable for few pipelines (but still expensive for what it is), and would spiral out of control for one of the intended use cases (which is long and numerous pipeline arrays). The current way they work keeps their performance cost very low.

Powerlines are currently redrawn every frame and have no collision, so there was no real reason not to support moving grids (and their distance limit is mostly arbitrary).
