Behavior
(If not yet done, please read Transport belts, because we suppose some very basic belt behavior on this page.)
Underground belts can be used to cross different flows of items without interfering. They move items like a normal belt.

You can turn the order of the lanes or split the lanes completely with the underground belts trick
- You can cross any number of entities or
- other underground stuff (other underground belts or underground pipes). They wont be mixed or so. For the connection only the endpoints (entry-side and exit-side) are relevant.
- The maximum distance underground is 5 tiles.
- An underground belt pair with a blocked output stores up to 20 items.
- If you mine an underground belt, up to 20 items are recovered, the remaining items in the underground are placed into your inventory.
- If you look very near, then you can see, that an underground belt is like a belt, but only half length. The rest of the tile is used for bringing the items "under ground".
This last fact is important, because it can be used to do some tricks.
