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 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 mechanics. These kind of pipes can even be placed between patch of water.

Notes

• The maximum distance at which a pipe to ground can connect is 10 squares, resulting in a gap of 9 squares in between.
• Pipe-to-ground stores less liquid than basic pipes.
• 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.

History
