  I'd love to see the pipes coloured/tinted with the colour of the liquid/gas they transport. There are windows in pipes (this is an awesome feature) but at certain zoon the windows are hard to see, and when there are many parallel multi-level pipes it is often very hard to reason which pipe you want to connect to.

  I think just adding a trim color to the pipes would be enough, i.e blue trim for water, black trim for crude oil, red trim for acid. So you can tell from a distance what each pipe carries especially in the refinery areas gets hard to follow sometimes.

  I'd add to this and say be able to paint all buildings, vehicles, pipes, etc. This way you can color code each job and tell what items are stored in each building.

  Make it possible to assign any picture of materials to the pipe so it is shown every X meters and also numbers for spaghetti

  I like this idea. I'm near to blind from trying to follow that ONE water pipe to find out where the trouble is...

  Would be very helpful. The pipe windows and/or clicking on the pipe don't help if the pipe is empty. For this reason I am very careful to rename all my pipe balancers (naptha manifold, crude oil manifold, steam hi manifold etc.) so I don't make a bad connection. Not a disaster if you do, although I did take down my entire power plant by piping water into the depleted steam feed to the cooling towers. Had to find the problem, disconnect the errant pipe, and then find and remove the water from the system.

  Striping would be great. If we could have them colored automatically based on the contents would be sweet.

  Option to place an ingame "Icon(s)" on tubes (periodically) so player can figure out what tube (or section) is what for (would be better than just painting and wont turn your factory into a parrot).

  Bonus for having the texture/coloring clearly indicate the direction the pipe flows. The white arrows can be hard to see if not zoomed in or on short pipe segments.

  this woudl be a massive help since you guys did away with pipe renameing..
  Maybe bring that back but Tie it with Level 4 pipes so theres no issues when upgradeing?

  International ANSI pipe colouring standard has the following:
  Yellow - Flammable and Oxidizing Fluids
  Red - Fire Quenching Fluids
  Orange - Toxic and Corrosive Fluids
  Green - All Water
  Blue - All Air
  Brown - Combustible Fluids
  Purple, Black, White and Grey - User Defined
