Only thing that is a bit annoying is that the VERTICAl conduits wont snap to d81 vertical conduits for some reason. Horizontal work fine, both d81 and standard.

Is that something U can fix or if its easy to edit myself ?
Edit I can make a electrical connection thats stable, but it refuses to snap.
These are fantastic! I love the 6 way connector. The angle pieces are perfect too. I had been having a really hard time getting things all lined up and layed out nice and tight. Using cables is easy but it ends up looking so janky, and getting the pipe conduits placement just right is next to impossible, until you install this mod. This makes working with the conduits a breeze, and everything looks so tight now! About the only thing I could ask for now would be a vertical 6 way piece like the horizontal one. Already absolutely awesome though! Thanks you!
Now I really wish someone would make the vault modules that have visible wiring conduits running through them be conductive. It just seems silly to run wires through those pieces because they are already visibly fully wired.
Edit: I hadn't realized that the vault build set already is conductive and the vault conduit item enables most of the vault building parts to transfer electricity. So I feel kind of silly for not figuring that out sooner. Anyway, scratch that last paragraph above.
One of those "why wasn't this in the base game' deals...ya know if they only would just pay ppl at bethsoft to create content like this. It would come out better like this conduit is compared to bethsoft's.
Ethreon, you are very well regarded around here, keep up the good work.
This is awesome, ethreon. Love the angled pieces! Is it possible to have elbows that aren't a full 90 degrees? That's about the only thing missing, unless they aren't pictured.Ill have to download this soon. My colosseum uses a ton of conduits for all the cages!
I just posted this on another conduit mod, then I though about checking for your things. Of course, you have already dabbled in these. Is it possible to make the conduits like power lines? That being, you set the two end (connecting) points and "drag" the conduit from 1 snap point to the other?
I attempted many times to power the radio tower in Fort Independence by running a vertical conduit up the the tower. I then connected a curved piece to the top and bottom of the multi-pipe vertical conduit extension. To these I attached a vanilla ceiling conduit. I then attached power cables to the top from my fusion reactor and the bottom to the radio.
The radio wouldn't work with these conduits. Not only that, but the terminal conduits would not radiate power.Sorry, but I cannot get your mod to work. :-(
Unless the game bugged on you, somewhere along the line one of the conduits might seem snapped, but isn't. It's easy to think they snapped due to their small collision sizes.
Hi, hope you don't mind little old me putting my tuppence worth in, if you have found that the conduits do not seem to connect properly sometimes Try this, once you've put all the pieces together if they do not power whatever it is that requires it go back along the whole line from one end to the other selecting then releasing each piece, (if on PC) press e twice in quick succession. Do not move your mouse until you have released each piece then move on to the next one. You may find that some of the original pieces do not like to connect to Ethreons just change it for one of his parts and all should be ok.
That seems to work for me (most of the time lol).
Edit: Ethreon, if Possible, could you make a straight piece both vertical and horizontal at half the length of the quarter length piece, please. I was an electrician and my OCD for close fitting conduits goes nuts when the conduit will not go close to walls or ceilings after a bend please put my OCD to rest and "Make my Day"
If you can't seem to get your ducting to fit properly try this.... Use Place Anywhere and once connected, slide the over hanging pipe into the previous one. If you get "flickering" drop one of them in the Z direction by .01
Technically, you can snap two conduit pieces together, then slide 1 like way far away and keep conducting. If using the Place mod, once they are snapped together, it retains the "junction". So, you really only need the termination points, where one of them is scooted to your desired located after snapped in place. Works for power lines too, to get really extended distances... or through floors, walls, water, or your favorite BOS wreckage.
As a side note, I powered Red Rocket from the middle of Sanctuary by using the Place mod with outside workshop boundaries turned off. I drug the line all the way. It ended up being a little bit laggy as I lost about 5 fps in that area, but it can be done.
With conduits, they look so much nicer then the (pre)1980's venue of overhead power lines.

One suggestion, if possible, 45 degree corner conduits would be really helpful.
