[WCIS] Longer Seamless Industrial Conveyor Pipes

Description
WolfCraft Industries presents to you:
Longer Seamless Industrial Pipes

This mod is intended to reduce the amount of PCU that is caused by having too many and too long Conveyor lines by adding longer variants of the Seamless Conveyor Pipe.
longer variants are available in these 4 sizes: 5x, 9x, 15x and 21x.
all sizes have the same PCU of 10.

i chose to leave the PCU that low because these Pipes only have 2 Connection points.
this is much more performance friendly on a Conveyor Network and should reduce lag spikes if the Conveyor Network needs to update because it has less Conveyor check points to update / check.

The costs of these Pipes are multiplied by their sizes.
only the 15x and 21x Require additional Metal grids, 15 Metal grids for the 15x one and 21 Metal grids for the 21x one.

the models of the longer Pipes are basically the same as the Vanilla single one so you can integrate them without it looking different in any way. they have all build stages and LODs
they are also fully paintable like the original ones.

this mod should be compatible with all other mods.

Credits:
KeenSWH for the conveyor model and GUI Icon.

Known bugs:
- none

To-Do List:
- Model Optimization? maybe...

haha yea i feel you but in some situations you have to live with the fact that its 9+1
or that its 9+2+2 (because of 2 end tubes with flanges)
adding more variants for every size wouldnt really make any sense because it would make the mod more congested and would increase file size and it would reduce performance because of the bigger mod then.

fair enough
it is mostly my OCD getting triggered by the fact that I know there is 9+1 pipe, even though my eyes say there is no difference lol

just use a 9x with one vanilla pipe to get 10x, same for the 20x, just use 2 9x and 2 normal ones.
you wont really see a difference because i made these so that they look the same as if you manually placed the same amount of single tubes.
howardxu23 25 Jun, 2023 @ 10:13am 
can you add a 10x and 20x length as well?

[WCIS] Longer Conveyor Tubes is available now! same thing as this here only with the vanilla non DLC conveyor Tubes.

thanks @BIV, the vanilla version (tubes and reinforced tubes) is also on its way. am almost done with it too and i expect to be able to release it soon. i will let you all know once its out here in the comments.

Looks good and helps reduce PCU so players can expand and grow, it's all good. Thanks for the work and effort.

@LordZarmack thanks for your kind words <3 have a good one bud ^^

@YAKFLY sadly i cant make it up for everyone and a 3x one would be simply to small and wouldnt really give a huge advantage regarding lagg reduction. the neat part about this here though is, if you need a 6x long one, use my 5x and add a vanilla tube. you wont see a difference by using my 5x and a normal one or 6 normal ones. the difference that is important though is, instead of space engineers having to check 12 conveyor points on a conveyor update it has to only check 4 points which is definitely much better hence these pipes only having 10 PCU.

Great mod, except one point (also for other mods like this one) : MOST builds use a x3 stepping because well, containers, tanks, most of big blocks are this size. I would preffer A LOT a x3, x6 x9 x18 sizes for theses conveyors. Most of the time I would need a x3 and I cant fit the x5. Many thanks in advance.

The only alternative is to have cargo containers that all pool together into a magical space that then transfers resources/components/ammo into whatever you designate, regardless this mod is greatly appreciated for these ship v ship fights and reducing lag.

thank you for your hard work and idea :steamthumbsup:
