pipe

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.

Comprehensive information on fluid distribution 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. 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.
