Pipe to ground |
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 belt lines, or environmental features.
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. These kind of pipes can even be placed between patches of water.
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.
History
- 0.13.0:
- Underground pipes are now automatically placed at maximum distance when building by dragging.
- 0.10.1:
- Icon changes.
- 0.9.3:
- For two different pipe to ground types, the distance limit is now the minimum of the two connections.
- 0.9.2:
- Pipe to ground can now reach up to 10 tiles underground.
- A pipe to ground can have multiple underground connections.
- 0.9.0:
- Pipe to grounds are made in pairs, and are more expensive to craft.
- 0.2.1:
- Automatic 180 degree rotation of underground pipes when the first pipe is built.
- 0.2.0:
- Visualization of the connection between two underground pipes.
- 0.1.0:
- Introduced
