Thank you to all the compliments! You guys always make me smile, though I'm terrible at responding lol.

As far as the b42 questions go, I play online with friends so I haven't really played much of the new version at all. I've seen a few plumbing mods that may be up your alley, but I'd be surprised if this mod worked with them particularly well.

The "find rain collectors" cursor uses the same checks as the vanilla plumbing, so that MIGHT work, but the "find faucets" cursor only checks one floor down (since vanilla only works one floor down anyway).

Once 42 gets a bit more polished, I look forward to making the switch and continuing to make mods.

Once again, thank you to everyone for the support. It really means a lot to me.

can i acutally plump down 2 levels somehow?`

Can't I use it in B42 Basement Expansion mode?

Fantastic mod, also 10/10 videos

Haven't even used this, just thought the video for this mod was great editing

Right click on pipe wrench for option to reactivate :)

somehow i chose third choice then whole mod option disappeared just cant find Plumb Helper PLUS menu

Simple and effective plumbing. The only thing that is missing, ability to hook the sink to the clean well. Use a sort of water pump, maybe?

Came for the mod.. stayed for the "commercials" lol

Sweet! Np :) Have fun!

yeah it's working now. Thanks for fixing it.

Okay, I changed the location of some files to emulate what other authors have done. Let me know if that works please.

just to be sure I unsubbed all the mods. did a verify and reinstalled only this mod it still doesn't show up.

I can't see why it would be the problem, but stranger things have happened lol.

Can you tell me a few mods that are working for you? I'll compare them to mine and see if there's some miniscule difference that I'm overlooking.

yeah did everything it just doesn't show up. I'm playing on linux could that be an issue?

So, as far as I can tell, it may just be Steam being stupid? There's scattered reports of random mods not showing up, and that seems to be the problem more often than not. I can't replicate the problem on my machine, so I'm thinking that may be the case.

You might try checking your mod folder and seeing if it's been downloaded. If you don't know where it is, you can search for '108600' in file explorer and it should show up. Then make sure '3386961288' (my mod) is in there.

If it's not, you might try unsubbing, exiting steam, then restarting and resubbing. Some people reported success with verifying the game's files, but be aware that if you do that and you're using any mods that required manual installation, you'll need to reinstall them or backup/restore the 'zombie' folder.

No worries. Hope you're well. take your time. I'm just getting mods sorted for new server. I haven't started yet.

@Ryan I'm recoving from a minor surgery, but I'll get it updated as soon as I can. Probably sometime this afternoon, hopefully. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@JuryOfYourFears it's not showing up in mod menu for 42.6

@Slobodskoy Thank you! I love your language, but I'm hopelessly American haha

@JuryOfYourFears, in Tooltip_RU.txt string
Tooltip_PHOffDesc = "Отключите Помощник сантехника, чтобы избежать загромождения контекста. <br><br>Можно повторно активировать, щелкнув правой кнопкой мыши по газовому ключу."

@Slobodskoy Pushing an update momentarily. Hadn't realized they switched the encoding, thanks. I just used google translate for the new lines, so if it could be improved, I'd appreciate input.

@kannonlazono Rain collectors only work for the floor below them in vanilla. There were mods for different plumbing methods in 41, but I'm terribly out of the loop for 42, sorry.

@megahero60 I'd really love to see an overhaul of the system, but that's outside of my skillset atm.

Please upd RU translation encoding to UTF-8

Can i plumb my sink if i have a 2 story building?

awsome...anyway of increasing this to act like generators for water or is that a bit of a pipe dream to have in feed to facets in a set large area

Awesome! Much rejoicing. Thanks Jury!

Oh, beautiful! Thanks, KaliLynx! I'll make a note of that in the description :)

thanks for the update! here's simple fix for wall showers and urinals: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3425935153

Updated to remove tooltip explaining plumbing not working. Big thanks to SkyBlue for the workaround.

Everything seems to be working great now.
NOTE: Wall Showers and Urinals are not able to be plumbed (vanilla issue). Consequently, my mod does not detect them (only detects fixtures that can be plumbed).

@KaliLynx Awesome! I'll push an update as soon as I can. Thanks for letting me know!

plumbing is fixed now

@JuryOfYourFears, No worries! Thanks for quick response. Looking forward to your Stable update.

@Tarrax Thanks! I've been waiting for 42 stable to start playing again, so I'm not gonna be much help atm, sorry.

@Zaliron I can look into that when I get back into playong/modding :)

@Rising Dawn lol ty ty

First off let me say, I've been using your mod since you first released it and it is a godsend. I'm using the Skyblue add-on, but I am not seeing the option to plumb to water barrel to the sink below. Unfortunately Skyblue doesn't have comments/discussions available to ask them what to do in this situation. Is it only possible once the city water is no longer accessible?

Would it be possible to check for a roof as well? I've been bamboozled by setting up barrels on what I thought was the rooftop only to realize there was a slanted house roof piece hidden from view.

The video is so good lol

@Linben @Alpha Gamer

Plumbing doesn't work in 42 just yet. Please read the beginning of the description for more info/workarounds :)

im not getting this to work, i have placed a barrel outside above my sinks but it doesnt seem to recognise them

hello author, playing on B42 here... i can't seem to plumb my indoor kitchen sink to a rain collector barrel above... I have relocated the barrels and even constructed the smaller crate-type collectors, but still can't plumb em... would appreciate your assist, thanks!

@John DeWolf Indeed, your current interpretation is correct (pedantic note: with the minor exception that you can place a sink in an existing interior and plumb it to the public water supply).

I initially just updated because I was asked to, but in the process, I obviously realized that plumbing wasn't functioning yet. So I figured I'd just leave it up, and use it as a PSA for plumbing being broken in the meantime.

So if I am reading and understanding the situation right now its that without mods even this one there is NO plumbing in build 42 atm period, and all this mod does is essentialy give a visual tool for positioning water source and water user. Is my current interpretation correct?

No worries, chef! I suspected that was the case lol

Yeah apologies I worded it wrong, I meant the plumbing issues not this mod! Loved it in b41, was responding to somebody else’s comment and didn’t realise it doesn’t show who I’m responding to

@redacted, ublock origin is amazing, but i use it on edge in tandem tampermonkey, i didnt realize it worked on firefox so i might make the switch. @juryOfYourFears, AMAZING MOD, also, love the ad description

How to avoid (all) ads (and trackers) (since idk 2010 or so) = Use firefox (or Librewolf/Tor), download the following extensions: Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + PopUp Off.
Haven't seen an ad, besides the sponsored content creators put in videos (which is basically unavoidable). Not a slight hint of annoyance either. It's been great, especially the part where I haven't watched cable tv for over 15 years and not regretted it a moment :)

@Redacted lol felt that in my bones. I do everything in my power to avoid ads these days, but I watched a ton of old info-mercials to prep, and a lot of them were actually pretty entertaining. Hard to say how much of that was nostalgia though heh

@Deon Thank you btw. I wasn't sure if players were actually pointing the finger at me or just venting their frustrations about the state of the unstable build tbh lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ngl. PZ Modding community is #1. I hate commercials, yet, here I go, watching two voluntarily. Life truly was better pre-millenium.

Oh, awesome! I thought about trying to do that, but I didn't have the time. I'll push an update.

Another modder released an update that adds plumb-able B41 style rain barrels
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392186516&searchtext=

Was able to use this mod to find the right spot to place the old-school barrels and plumb them with no issues

To the recent posters, "this" didn't ruin anything. B42 did, and you need to wait for official patch.
