Liquid Vent

Liquid Vent is the plumbing component that serves as the termination point for liquids in a plumbing network. It is the fixture through which liquids leave a pipe system and are released into the game world. In all supported localizations this building is described consistently: it marks the end of a conduit and allows liquid that has been transported through pipes to exit the plumbing system.

A Liquid Vent must be placed where you want the transported liquid to be discharged. It is the final element of a liquid transport line and is used whenever a plumbing run must deposit fluid into an open cell, a container, or an area of the base. Conceptually, the Liquid Vent converts the liquid flow contained within a pipe into free liquid occupying the target tile adjacent to the vent; the plumbing network cannot send liquid beyond the vent because the vent defines the network’s outlet.

Practical notes for using Liquid Vents:

• Place the Liquid Vent at the intended discharge location; it is the endpoint of a pipe, so routing and placement determine where liquids appear once they leave the plumbing.
• A Liquid Vent is required to remove liquids from a closed plumbing loop. Without a vent or another receiving building that accepts pipe input, liquid remains trapped inside the network.
• Use Liquid Vents to dump unwanted or surplus liquids safely away from sensitive infrastructure or into purpose-built collection areas. The vent’s location controls where discharged liquid will accumulate.
• Multiple vents may be used to distribute discharge across several locations; each vent acts independently as a separate outlet for the plumbing it is connected to.
• The Liquid Vent is a fundamental element of any liquid logistics setup: it defines the boundary between transported fluid inside pipes and free fluid in the environment.

The Liquid Vent’s role is purely functional as the exit point for liquids; plans for routing, containment, and reuse of discharged fluids should be made around vent placement to prevent unwanted flooding or contamination of critical areas.
