The pipe-to-ground is a distribution method for [[Liquid network|liquids and gases]]. Since a basic [[pipe]] is impassable, these are necessary to keep the factory open, as well as to cross resource lines.


Only one fluid can be inside a pipe-to-ground at one time. Trying to mix two fluids can destroy one of the fluids. Read more on [[Liquid network#Mechanics|liquid mechanics]].
The flow rate in pipes is heavily dependent on differences of fluid levels in individual segments. More complete information on handling fluids can be found on the [[fluid system]] page.

The pipe-to-ground is a distribution method for liquids and gases. Since a basic pipe is impassable, these are necessary to keep the factory open, as well as to cross belt lines, or environmental features.

The flow rate in pipes is heavily dependent on differences of fluid levels in individual segments. More complete information on handling fluids can be found on the fluid system page.

The pipe to ground's GUI with the ability to clear the contained fluid.
An example of a pipe to ground going under a patch of water.

Notes

  • While pipe-to-ground is the developer name for the entity, the community has taken to simply referring to this entity as "underground pipe". This is the most common reference.
  • The maximum distance at which an underground pipe can connect is 10 tiles, resulting in a gap of 9 tiles in between.
  • The gap between underground pipes does not store any fluids; a pair of underground pipes only has the same volume as two regular pipes, regardless of distance bridged.

History
