So this would probably be a lot more complicated than I think it is so I understand if the answer is no, but would it be possible to disable the pipes' seasonal textures when they're placed indoors? I'm using these in my greenhouse to connect my fruit trees, and it's just a little odd when they have snow on them during the winter when they're inside
In the next version I'll add a config that lets you select one texture. For now if you can wait you can go on AutomatePipes folder and alter to use one texture. Go to the folder Pipes and open Pipes.json and open with text editor. { "Changes": [ { "Action": "Load", "Target": "Pipes/H_Pipes", "FromFile": "Pipes/H_{{season}}_Pipes.png" }, { "Action": "Load", "Target": "TileSheets/H_Pipes", "FromFile": "Pipes/H_Pipes_Icons.png" }, ] }
Is there any way to restrict Automate so that it only works when using these pipes? I would prefer if chests weren't automated unless connected by these paths, rather than just automating to anything they happen to be touching with or without paths.
There's a mod that disables the chests, but I can't remember if it's still working.
Name of the mod AutomateChests: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11727 In this mod, you need to use a funnel in a chest to make it functional. You can edit the config file to use other item on the chest.
Within Automate itself you can disable/enable which paths work with Automate and which don't. If you want only these paths to work with Automate - perhaps you should disable all vanilla ones!
I was thinking more that I wanted automate to only work when on this path. Like if I put a chest next to a machine that wouldn't do anything, I want to have to use the pipes.
I like AutomateChests but it has problems like losing the item when you break the chest and constantly accidentally turning them back to normal chests by clicking with an empty hand
I’m currently learning C#, so it might take me a bit of time to get there. I want to clarify that I’m not making any promises at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience.
There might be an option if you use Generic Mod Config Menu, but otherwise I suggest maybe asking the mod creator for Automate/whover is updating it now to see if they can add this as an option? Or perhaps add a toggle to the chest's UI menu that allows you to turn on/off auto pulling and one for auto pushing?
Tbh, I would like to be able to turn the auto pulling and pushing with chests off easily, too. I'd also like to be able to control this better for aesthetic purposes. I'm disappointed there's no mods that add invisible item transport paths/allows for placement of transport tubes "underground" instead of having to replace where flooring tiles would go.
I saw the comment in your other mod "Moar Paths" about adding in a pipes path (posted by Covyx). I gotta say it is impressive you were able to make it and post it the following day. Awesome job dude! Also, I love the paths mod, the other mod i used for a grass path is way outdated so thank you for that
As I already had the mod prepared, all I had to do was to make the textures. It took me a while, but by the end of the night it was all done. And thank you very much for your kind words.

Go to the folder Pipes and open Pipes.json and open with text editor.
{
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Pipes/H_Pipes",
"FromFile": "Pipes/H_{{season}}_Pipes.png"
},
{
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "TileSheets/H_Pipes",
"FromFile": "Pipes/H_Pipes_Icons.png"
},
]
}
Edit the {{season}}.
Example:
{
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Pipes/H_Pipes",
"FromFile": "Pipes/H_Summer_Pipes.png"
},
{
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "TileSheets/H_Pipes",
"FromFile": "Pipes/H_Pipes_Icons.png"
},
]
}
With this will only use the summer version.

Hope this helps.
