VQE Generator - Pipe Network Compat

Description
They said it couldn't be done...
That it is impossible to patch. Or is it?

That's right. This mod lets you take that chemfuel thirsty ARC and connect it to a chemfuel pipe.



But what about the uranium fueled ARC?
This mod introduces a uranium buffer pipe network, letting you reliably keep that nuclear ARC at the desired fuel level.



Compatibility
- Vanilla Expanded Pipe Network Categories : Compatibility patch is built into this mod.
- Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Power : The uranium pipe network can keep its nuclear reactor at the chosen fuel level.

- Other mods that make VE pipe networks for wood, chemfuel or uranium. All should work out of the box
- Rimworld 1.5 and 1.6: Small patch ensures uranium pipes can be dragged normally in both versions, nothing else changes.
- Combat Extended: You're really funny.

Known Issues
- The VE Power nuclear reactor might stop consuming fuel when connected to the pipe network: Believe it or not, it might be an issue at the VE Framework level. Investigation is still ongoing.
- The uranium fueled ARCs still oscillates a bit in power output: Intentional. Kind of. To avoid a similar issue as the one above, it waits until it can withdraw one whole unit of uranium from the network.
- Lowering the desired fuel level on a VE Power nuclear reactor while connected to the pipe network might void the excess uranium: Sorry, don't know how to take care of that one, or if i even can.

Questions and Answers
- Does this work with Rimefeller? No, Rimefeller is a completely different system, and one that i am not familiar with.
- What about wood fueled ARCs? If you have any mod that adds a wood pipe network, you can use it with the ARC.
- Does it work with Co- Check Compatibility section.

Credits
- Oskar Potocki and the Vanilla Expanded team for creating the original mods.
- arp242 for creating the template used for this mod [github.com]
- Ludeon Studios for making this game worth sinking many, many hours in.

VQE-Generator In Space. : Not my mod but recommended, lets you build the ARC anywhere, including gravships. The fact we used the same meme is purely coincidental.

"If you have any mod that adds a wood pipe network, you can use it with the ARC."

I never realized I wanted this until now.

Just pushed an update to make most pipe networks work out of the box, no compat patch required.

Oh i know. But i could. And the nuclear ARC annoyed me. So here we are.

Rule of thumb, when I say something can't be done, what I really mean is "I can't be arsed" XD

Soon we will learn how to transfer wood through pipes! :steamhappy:
