The pipe to ground (or "underground pipe") 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.
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.
Notes
- 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.
- The maximum distance at which an underground pipe can connect is 10 tiles, resulting in a gap of 9 tiles in between.
- The gap between underground pipes does not store any fluids; a pair of underground pipes only has the same volume as two regular pipes, regardless of distance bridged.
