Nog's Cheats - ShowDebug PipeProbing shows empty graphs

I was hoping to do some experimentation to try and reverse engineer pipes a bit, and I found a console command which seems designed pretty much explicitly for this: ShowDebug PipeProbing, and Pipe_EnableProbingOnAimedIntegrant However, in the base game, the latter command is not recognized, and is presumably removed from production builds. I installed Nog's Cheats because it advertises that the former command works, and found that the latter command does add the pipe the the probed list as expected (Pipe_DisableProbingOnAimedIntegrant and Pipe_ClearProbingOnAllPipe work too). However, it seems that despite that, the debug display is not working. It shows 6 graphs for the probed pipe (Flow/Flow Limits/Content/Pressure/Pressure Delta/Pressure Group), but no line or other data on the graph. Is PipeProbing not fully implemented in this mod? Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to display or log the pipe information? Also: it appears that ShowDebug PipePressureGroups, ShowDebug PipePressure, ShowDebug PipeMoveToOverfillRatio, ShowDebug PipeFlow, and ShowDebug PipeDeltaPressure (all advertised as working for Nog's Cheats) behave the same as in the base game. They pull up a color-coding legend in the upper left corner, but do not apply the colors to the pipes. Again, am I doing something wrong?

Solution:

for context, Nog's Cheats does not implement any of them or offer a guarantee that they will do anything, it just allows them to be triggered if the code is still packed in Commands may or may not work, this mod just offers a way to run them.
