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 gap that can be spanned between one pair of ground pipes is 10 squares.
  • 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

    • Pipe to ground can now reach up to 10 tiles underground.
    • A pipe to ground can have multiple underground connections.
  • 0.9.0:
