Gas Pipe

Gas Pipe is the building used to connect the gas input and output ports of ventilated buildings. It serves as the primary conduit for routing gases between equipment that require an external gas supply or that expel gases as part of their operation. In practical terms, Gas Pipe creates the link between a building’s gas inlet and outlet so that gas can move from one device to another or be carried to storage and processing facilities.

Gas Pipe is placed between the gas input and gas output ports of ventilated structures to establish a gas conduit. When installed, it completes a physical connection that allows gas to travel along the piping route defined by the player. Multiple Gas Pipes placed end-to-end form a continuous connection between devices, enabling the transfer of gas across distances within a base.

• Gas Pipe is intended specifically for use with ventilated buildings that expose gas input and output ports.
• The primary purpose of Gas Pipe is to connect those ports so gas can be routed to or from a building.
• Chains of Gas Pipe segments create longer conduits that link several buildings or lead to storage and processing installations.
• Gas Pipe is a foundational component of any gas-handling system in the game and is used wherever buildings require a connected gas supply or need to vent gas into a controlled network.

Designing an effective gas distribution system relies on routing Gas Pipe to align with the input and output ports of equipment and to link those ports to the rest of the gas network. Proper placement ensures that ventilated buildings interact with the intended gas streams and that gases produced by one building can be transported to others or to buffers and removal systems.
