ANNOYING FLUID PUMPS NOISE

[Dark Spirit]

Since SPACE DLC has been released, all my fluid pumps make a "working sound". The problem is when in a creation you have literally dozens of pumps, and when turned on, the noise really unbeareable.
Anyone else with this issue? Thank you a lot.

i know man, it sucks. i have no idea how they didnt realize how annoying it is....

It's a perfect example of how disconnected the devs are from their own game.
Their arbitrary physics rules force us to use a plethora of pumps for literally anything and then they have the brilliant idea to make them noisy... in a game where audio goes through walls.

Can't make this up.

And here's the issue. What we're asking for is to not allow sound to travel through walls (or at least muffle it considerably) but what they'll do is instead remove the sound completely. Some ambient noises from mechanical parts is actually a nice addition, but like everything else, poorly implemented.

I hope...someday,,,,,maybe...they might use their room-to-room pressure-logic for the mechancall sound sources.
I like the new pump-sounds, but would be so nice to use one of the allready existing ingame-mechanics to fade the sound.

Another in-game mechanic which could be used, might be the per-room-heat-distribution.
Just connect this to sound-volumes.

Just dreaming......

ANY PART THAT MAKES A NOISE:

1) Should have a volume slider or sound on/off option.
2) A few different sound files to choose from. (Engines especially...)
3) A few mixing sliders to change tone and pitch.

Not all creations are the same. You may want a cacophony of noise in a ratty tramp steamer build but in a sleek modern boat you may not. The ability to customize noises would add another layer of detail and depth to the building aspect of the game.

100% it would be amazing. Devs will never do it though, just like any other QOL improvement. We are definitely stuck with this sound, they won't listen. Just look at engine sounds.

Yup...

[Booze_Rooster]

remember the prefab medium engine noise back in the day? Man, that was a nice engine sound to listen to...

Now we struggle to hear pennies in a washing machine over six hair dryers.

I figured out how to remove the sound if anyone wants to know, but honestly it should just be a volume slider when u select the pump if you want the extremely loud noise.

Now cars and trucks sound like a sewage treatment plant. Wonderful pump noises, devs

How do you remove them?

[Newbie]

impellers dont make a noise (from what i rememberr), but if you are connecting them to a fluid port it will still make a "HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS", i think some things like exhaest ports dont make that noise but im not sure.

Go to your library onto the game and then click on the settings then hover over manage, click on browse local files and the file window should pop up with the game files. the "rom" file should be at the top and inside of that is the "audio" folder with all of the audio files.

From there theres all the sound files in different folders and you can delete or modify these sounds without causing any issues, even when the game is running. Go To the "fx6" folder and Delete - centrifugalpump_loop.ogg & electricpumpcompressor_loop.ogg . launch the game and there will be no sound because no more sound file :)

I just wish the devs reduced the amount of pumps needed, for everything. That would reduce the cacophony while still having some noise to show its working. :/

Yeah but that requires doing things in a way that involves logic, common sense and pleasing a player. The devs have shown that they cannot do any of the above.

Ik nothing flows without pumps and the pumps are too large should be max like 2 x 1 blocks. Like atleast add compact pumps so they dont take up as much space. or have components have their own competent pump integrated
