New 2.1 refinery graphics hide pipe connections behind them

Post by AntiElitz »

The new refinery sprite hides pipes and underground-pipe connections behind it. This makes oil setups impossible to read. Water and oil often run behind refineries, but you can no longer see where the underground pipes connect.

The old refinery kept those connections visible. Gameplay clarity should take priority over visuals. This building also not affected by the new hide tall entities option. Please keep the relevant area behind the refinery readable.

+1 while the new buildings look good, this is going to be a headache with pipes being hidden.

+1 Love the new models, but perhaps make the hide elevated rails also hide tall buildings like this or a small model update so large models didn't block connection visibility.
