wow that is cool! I never thought of anything like that! I am currently working on fs25 mods and converting them
The Idea is a lot more work than I had planned. I have been playing 25 a lot more lately. After looking at how the constructables work I will be moving to 25 also. The idea came about when looking at road ditches. I am working on making concrete drainage canals( will be on 25 due to better usability) and field tiling. The big picture is fully functional drainage thats weather dependent( I have a 200 page google doc with everything). The full implementation would be on my own map. Your mods would be part of it and the main infrastructure for the map. In order for the pipes to be functional i would have to either override them with lua or modify them to move fluids.
Its a LOT but would be fun on a server where there is a lot of members.
Are you adding FIllTypes? If so my FS22 mod is useless ( somewhat) . I planned on adding a new vault section for the drainage ditches to connect to. I may have to tinker with them being a dependency. The ditches are functional( rain causes height fluctuations) I do plan and having gates and debris screens. The run-off would be grey water to use it it would need to be treated( Treatment Plant is in the works). Pattern tiling will be the last considering i need to figure out how to implement that.
I played around with it on 22 and found a great way to do it. The problem is i have to edit the xmls directly to have them work as planned. The interesting part was adding Pumps and hoses connection along with whopster's manure mod. i did make the dynamic version buryable. I have not shared any of it as its just an edit to your mod. I do plan on making a map where it has everything as a proof of concept. I would be open to it if the original authors allow it. My wife saw me working on the box culverts and pointed out the new water physics and said i need to make drive through versions ( she's not making it easier) as she plays with me and thinks it would make for interesting gameplay. The ditches i have tested ( grey box version) in game an so far they are coming along.
We need to connect on discord. It would be beneficial to see what you think and have both mods work together.
