The heat pipe can transport heat over longer distances and connect devices which produce and use heat. Currently this is limited to heat exchangers and nuclear reactors.
Direction of transfer
Heat pipes currently are directional and feed heat well in one direction and poorly in the other. There is no way of visually identifying which way a heat pipe is laid so care must be taken to place them in order, starting from the reactors and working towards the heat sinks. They are therefore unsuitable for placement by construction bots.
