Transmitter remake #226

Open SirEndii opened 3 years ago

Describe the feature you'd like Transmitters(Universal cable, logistical transporter...) are good, but they need to be better. I have feature suggestions for the transmitters which would be a nice addition for V11. I also know that this is hard to make, and I know that modding isn't that easy. I just want to make this request. 👍🏻

  1. Port coloring.

An interesting feature which I also would need in my current world, is that each port of a logistical transporter could be colored(See screenshot). So you could set that the left chest should only retrieve stone and the right chest should only retrieve wood. Good for compact machines. image

  1. Facades.

I already made a feature request for facades(#114). But I want to add it here.

  1. Change the storage of the universal, mechanical and pressurized transmitters.

The transmitters store way too much energy/gas or liquids. I do not even need a dynamic tank for my fissile fuel, I can use 6-8 ultimate mechanical tubes and my tank is finished. I do not know how this could be changed. But a way is that the liquids/energy or gasses could be "teleport" to the other ends of the cable which would be not good for the performance.

Why do cables and pipes have so much capacity? All they need is increased throughput, right?
