Pipe to ground

Pipe to ground/infobox

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.

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.
