Underground Pipe Planner
Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2017 1:38 am
I think a really nice tool to get implemented into the game would be a tool that is similar to how the railway planner works but instead it could be for underground pipes and regular pipes(just at the corners). I dont know how hard something like this would be to implement, but it would work similar to railway planner in that you could shift click on the ground just beside where the underground pipe goes into the ground (a little yellow arrow) and you could also use the 'r' button to rotate the final orientation of the pipe, and it could use a series of straights and corners to automatically place the pipes to where the player drags to. Using the most economical way to get there, as a simple version. A more advanced version could make a route around any existing items that are in the way as well. Good idea? Bad idea? I searched to see if this has been suggested before and i could not find one. I know this idea has been brought up before for belts, but placing pipes can be really tedious sometimes and while i find placing belts and underneathies are fun, i dont find placing pipes 'fun', but thats just me. Thoughts?
