Fast Pipe Bending

[SupplyDepoo]

Pressing 'R' while dragging underground pipes places a regular pipe and then an underground pipe in the direction of the cursor.

(If a new underground pipe was already started it is replaced by a regular pipe.)

I like this
Would probably break some mods though.

it is an extension to improved belt building, which was introduced before the release 1.0
I think the idea is properly presented, so we would find the implementation in the planed DLC expansion.
Perhaps make it as the free part of the paid DLC would be smart.

Similarly a +1, with space age and the smart belt tool, pipes seems quite behind in terms of QoL (having to manually switch between regular and underground is not smooth) and would greatly benefit from this change. I would have create the same forum post if it did not already exist.

2.1 seems like the last opportunity to elevate Automatic Underground Pipe Connectors from mod to vanilla.

The author of this mod hit a roadblock and never did find a good way to automatically place concrete or foundations on Aquilo and Vulcanus.

If they did this, it would definitely be awesome.
While they are at it, would be nice to make having quality pipes have some sort of purpose.
Maybe increase the range at which they can underground? their throughput?

Great mod though as mentioned above it does struggle a little with foundation. Would be a splendid candidate for elevation!
