The pipe is the most basic method of distribution of fluids. It is commonly used to provide water from offshore pumps 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.

The flow rate in pipes is heavily dependent on differences of fluid levels in individual segments, more complete information on handling fluids can be found on the fluid system page. Attempting to build a pipe that would potentially mix two liquids will fail, as the pipe won't be placed. However, fluids may be mixed in other ways, so pipes can contain multiple fluids. Undesired fluid can be flushed from the pipe system by opening the pipe GUI and clicking the trash button next to the fluid. Fluids that are flushed from pipes are deleted permanently.

History
- 0.15.0:
- Increased stack size from 50 to 100.
- 0.13.0:
- Underground pipes and belts are placed at max connecting distance apart when built by dragging.
- 0.11.6:
- The Oil refinery and chemical plant are disconnected from pipes if the recipe is reset.
- 0.10.1:
- Added new icons
- 0.10.0:
- Unused pipe connections are passive and do not connect to pipes.
- 0.9.1:
- Pipes now refresh their connection to storage tanks when rotated.
- Small quantities of fluid can be pushed/destroyed by larger quantities in pipes.
- 0.9.0:
- New graphics.
- All terminating pipes now have visuals.
- Pipes now show fluid inside when ALT mode is enabled.
- Optimized bounding boxes.
- 0.2.0:
- Visualization of connection to a pipe to ground.
- 0.1.0:
- Introduced
