✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 113k endorsements and 16k downloads show it's a trusted, widely-used utility.
- Multiple hotkeys give you quick control over what you visualize and how.
- Color-by-fluid and color-by-system modes help you understand pipe networks at a glance.
⚠️ Cons
- Only supports pipe networks, so it won't help with other logistics like belts or trains.
- Hotkey-heavy controls might take a bit to memorize, especially with four different keybinds.
- As a utility mod, it may not be updated as frequently as major content mods, so check compatibility with your game version.
This is for Factorio players who struggle to track complex fluid systems, especially in large bases or modded playthroughs with intricate piping. It's also great for anyone who wants a quick visual aid to debug or optimize their fluid networks without manually tracing pipes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use Alt+Y to automatically visualize systems as you hover over pipes, making it easy to inspect networks without pressing extra keys.
- Toggle between color-by-fluid and color-by-system with Control+Y to see either the fluid type or the connected system, depending on what you need to troubleshoot.
- If you have a complex base, use Shift+Y to see all visible systems at once, but be prepared for a lot of color on screen—it might be overwhelming.
