(b42.4.1) Velkiel's Reusable Sinks

If you don't have any rain collector around to contain water, you'll be able to use sinks and tubs again after the water shutoff!

Since 2.0 : you can now fill the container with rain water !

- Plug any sinks or bathtubs to be used as water containers (you don't need anything else than the sink itself, you don't need to find or craft a stopper)
- Unplug the water stopper to make it back as a vanillasink or bathtub
- Until the water shuts off happens, you have an option to fill the container with water if it's plugged
- Add a new right click feature that aims to improve the user experience when trying to click on a sink or bathtub but there's a door or something in the way: if you are standing next to the sink/tub and right click, it will find the closest handled by the mod sink/tub and show up in the context menu
notes about this new feature:
- It will only work if you are standing next to the sink/tub
- It is not mod compatible (unless there's a proper developpement by the author of the mod to handle this) so if another mod add a submenu for the sink, note that their feature won't appear in this sink menu (view this as a new sink context menu)
- This feature can be performance costing as it verifies all the nearby tiles to find the closest handled sink/tub.
- This option can be disabled in the mod settings if you experience performance issues because of it or don't like it


- This works on existing saves, but this mods works with customs tiles for sinks and bathtubs, to give them the ability to look filled in the game, if you unload this mod with some sinks still plugged as water containers, you will make them disappear visually, if you need to remove this mod, unplug all sinks/tubs you plugged in

Let me know if you have any issues or suggestions !



Thank you !

If you want to add some more translation, you can open a discussion about it

If you have a request, you can open one in the discussion panel of the mod

- When turned into a fluid container, the sink or bathtub in the context menu will have a name without whitespaces; it's a vanilla behavior with fluid containers names that i can't fix yet
- Sinks or bathtubs in the fluid transfer menu won't have a name (but still works fine)


- Fixed somes others compatibility issues with the 42.4.1 game version that had some water/fluid system reworked pre water shutoff
-> due to this modifications of the game, because of the new way of the infinite water system is recognized (pre-shutoff) i had to flag the sink and "not piped but can be", as the public function that allowed me to control this has been turned to private, so unusable from a code point of view in LUA
So, I wouldn't advise to NOT plumb any sink with stoppers, as this behavior is not wanted but required by the game due to their system as it's in the java code and I can't do anything about it
If you wanna plumb that sink or bath later, just remove the stopper beforehand

notes about this new feature:
- It will only work if you are standing next to the sink/tub
- It is not mod compatible (unless there's a proper developpement by the author of the mod to handle this) so if another mod add a submenu for the sink, note that their feature won't appear in this sink menu (view this as a new sink context menu)
