Why no ceiling hangers for conveyors, pipes, and transport tubes?

[kbmodigity]

We have multiple ground types, we have wall attachment types, we have in wall types, we have floor holes,,,,,,,,,

But no ceiling mounted supports for these items????????????????

I have come into so many situations where this would be useful but it just doesn't exist.

Please devs, add this one feature.

I'm pretty sure conveyor poles work on the ceiling.

indeed there is a mod that adds a bunch of celling stuff it is incredibly useful. and I hope it gets added to the main game at some point.

In vanilla you can build towers of splitters up to the ceiling to connect belts and remove the ones not used and if desired, use the small pillars to make them look supported. Best to use the 2m foundation to prevent clearance issues with buildings on the floor above them.

For ceiling conveyor support, here is what I do.
Build 4 layers of 1m foundations below your main foundation layer.
Dismantle the middle 3 foundations and build floors on your new layer as needed.
Use this temporary layer to lay out your belt work (lifts, mergers, splitters, belts, etc.).
Dismantle entire temporary layer.
You are now left with ceiling belt work.
This approach is also applicable to pipes.

I just make a 1m thick foundation walkway with room to fit one wall section between it and the ceiling, and I space walls with conveyor ports to carry conveyors. Then I can delete the supporting walkway and just have the wall sections hang from the ceiling.

I make my ceilings 24m high to make sure I have plenty of room.

Pipes and hyper tubes can be mounted on the ceiling after getting the related items from the shop, but no mounts like that for belts

The new beams are handy for lots of uses, the pipes and tubes already do what you're looking for.

TY all for all the suggestions on hoe to "cheat" it, but,yes i can do that, I could have cheated wall hangers and all the other crap that IS now in the game that wasn't

Point is I shouldnt have to cheat it in and spend all this time doing it ,, just add ceiling hangers is all.

Yeah, that is also the reason why they added Wall hole and floor hole for stuff, because before that, player have to cheat their way to do it through clipping and now they don't have to anymore and that's good.

But not all of the answers were mods. You can do the suggestions using currently in game things.

I wouldn't even consider mods a cheat you still have to unlock and build the mod stuff. and then there is a the jank you can now do just because of soft clearance like build pipes and conveyors thru walls and foundations. the same update that finally added floor holes also made them unnecessary.

Yes unecessary, but I found very nice instead of having gaping ugly missing floor tiles and not having vertical conveyors just ripping through floors

they are still purely decorative at this point. that is why I still heavily use the Floor Hole and Ceiling Logistics mod. being able to just slap mergers and splitters under the ceiling without having to build some kind of support structure is so much more convenient. the only issue is they don't stack downwards.

you can build conveyor walls under a foundation or use beams

Not the point. No reason to not have reversible hanging conveyor and pipe supports.
