Greetings,
This is my first attempt at making a standalone MOD for Fallout4 so be kind in the comments please.
**THIS MOD REQUIRES DLC WORKSHOP/CONTRAPTIONS TO WORK**
I created this mod because if you want to create elaborate workshop/manufacturing systems, it becomes very difficult to trace wiring lines across the factory you are creating. To keep things tidy, I would need to sometimes place up to 8 lines next to each other that terminated at different points along a hopper line or sorting system or even lines that transitioned from one level of a factory to other levels. Because of this, I kept having to trace and retrace lines over and over from my switching setups which was starting to drive me insane. This mod allows you to easily trace out lines coming from a switch system so that you can easily setup those systems without having to waste hours tracing and retracing conduits lines in checking why something isn't activating or happens to be activating when it shouldn't.
Some examples:
If you want a switch for lights in your factory, you may want them on one color conduit vs. another color so that you know which lines go to lights and which lines go to forges.
Or perhaps you have multiple forges in a single factory and you want them controlled independently along with having them run with certain hopper configurations.
This mod will solve those complex wiring issues, allowing you to effectively trace lines and setup your systems without having to spend hours tracing and retracing conduits that look identical next to each other.
I realize that many people won't have a use or need for this type of thing, but perhaps if there are other uses are OCD as I am about setting such things up, it will come in handy.
One note - and I apologize for this: The pink and purple conduits are close in color. I can make an attempt to alter that if it is really an issue, or you can keep the pink and purple lines somewhat distanced to avoid any confusion it may cause.
Additionally, if someone would like terminal points colored, I can probably make new NIF files and such to color the terminal connectors that point up and down. I don't see a need, however, to do all the connections in colors, especially if they are just pass through connectors. The colors of the conduit should suffice in tracing, unless someone is more OCD and would like those done as well. Just keep in mind if I do that, the menu system will be horrendously huge.
If you like, endorse if you want. I don't care either way. I didn't make this to get props... just to selfishly help myself to be honest. :-P
Should work with all mods, made with FO4Edit, CK, and NifScope. Load order shouldn't matter. Conduits are loaded into the workshop conduit menu. SK is not needed nor used to place these.
If I missed something or there is an issue, contact me.
Thanks!
