The pipe is the most basic method of distribution of fluids. It is commonly used to provide water to Boilers and steam to Steam engines for power generation, and later on, crude oil and oil products. Unlike transport belts, players and enemies can't walk over them.
Only one fluid can be inside a pipe at one time, and the flow rate in pipes is heavily dependent on differences of fluid levels in individual segments. More complete information on handling fluids is in the Fluid system page.
