Soul-Burn Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Most actions in the game require a dupe operation e.g. build, dig, toggle. All of these actions are easy to cancel before they are performed. Most of the operations that can controlled by the user are done through clear menus/popups e.g. set automation parameters, set storage filters. Most of these are easily reversible. These operations make it easy to plan out and undo as much as needed while paused. However, connecting two adjacent conduits (pipes, wires, etc) is done immediately by the user, with no way to easily cancel - a dupe must completely deconstruct one of the conduits and rebuild it - requiring work and possibly causing spills. It's easy to do by mistake, with possibly grave results. My suggestion is that both connecting and disconnecting conduits should be a work errand. It would require more work for those of us who build the conduits just to the final point and not connect them. Would cut on costly mistakes. Would allow us to split conduits without spilling their contents. "Empty pipe" would still be needed before deconstructing the pipes themselves.

Xenologist Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 There is the plier tool in the workshop. It can be configured as to disconnect conduits and more. It only works on the things that can be connected together at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul-Burn Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 I personally prefer to not use mods. I've looked into the pliers tool before post and seems too strong as it removes the need for switches/shutoffs of most kinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharraShimada Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Its your choice, but since the game has been released, as it is, dont expect any new features or big changes until they deliver the announced DLC. All they do now is fixing bugs and improve performance. Everything else is up to the very talented modders out there. So you choose all by yourself: Play vanilla, with all the flaws you encounter, or use mods and get rid of them. There is no third option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
