📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Doubles pipe underground distance from vanilla 10 to 32 – that's a huge jump for fluid bus setups.
  • Belts go from 4 to 16 tiles underground, so you can cross large gaps without ugly above-ground belts.
  • Over 2,600 endorsements and 24k downloads – clearly a well-received tweak.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects underground distances – no other balance changes, so if you wanted more, this is it.
  • Last updated in 2022 – might not be compatible with the latest Factorio versions without community patches.
  • Could make underground belts/pipes feel overpowered, reducing the challenge of planning around terrain.
🎯 Is This For You?
This is for Factorio players who hate dealing with long underground runs or want to simplify their megabase layouts. It's also great for those who prefer a more relaxed building experience without the hassle of frequent underground segments.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use the increased pipe distance to run fluids across large gaps without needing pumps in between.
  • With 16-tile belts, you can cross train tracks or water with a single underground segment, saving space.
  • Combine with other QoL mods for a smoother early game, but be aware of potential compatibility issues.
