Introduction

HypertubeDirectionalProtocol is a low resource mod that does one simple thing.
It allows the player to use A and D to decide which direction they travel down a Hypertube Junction/Branch!

Reasoning

When I first added a junction on my hypertube I thought it was awesome, that I didn't have to have multiple tubes going to multiple places. All in one pipe I could reach multiple places.. but.. I use hypertube cannons alot! And sometimes I moved so fast, I didn't have time to react to press E and make sure I was going the right way.

This mod solves that!

Basic Idea

When you're coming up to a hyper tube junction, or hypertube branch. Just hold the direction you want to travel before you reach the junction/branch. You'll then travel that direction without issues! Simple!

Functionality

- Multiplayer and Dedicated Server compatible!
- Any hypertube junction in all directions
- Any hypertube branches
- Works on Hyperjunctions placed on walls and ceilings

Frequently Asked Questions

Hypertube Direction Protocol not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Hypertube Direction Protocol has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.

Hypertube Direction Protocol causing crashes in multiplayer – solution

Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Hypertube Direction Protocol v3.1.0 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is Hypertube Direction Protocol compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

Hypertube Direction Protocol uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
