Advanced Fluid Pipe
alaindustrial:fluid_pipe_advanced
Summary
The Advanced Fluid Pipe is the second grade of the Fluid Pipe. A segment holds twice as much fluid, so a line of these pipes carries twice as much as an ordinary line of the same length. Use it where the ordinary pipe falls short: a trunk from several pumps, draining a big tank, feeding water to several machines at once.
In every other way it is the same pipe: the same side modes under the Wrench, the same visible fluid inside, one fluid per segment, no steam. Ordinary and advanced pipes join each other into one line.
Compared with the ordinary pipe
| Fluid Pipe | Advanced Fluid Pipe | |
|---|---|---|
| Segment volume | 50 mB | 100 mB |
| Limit per hop | 50 mB/tick | 100 mB/tick |
| Line of 3, 10 or 30 segments, measured | 50 mB/tick | 100 mB/tick |
| Body cross-section | 4×4 pixels | 6×6 pixels |
| Hardness | 0.2 | 0.3 |
| Recipe | silver and glass, makes 8 | 4 pipes, 4 reinforced bronze plates, rubber — makes 4 |
Fluid flows through the pipe; it does not teleport: every tick a segment hands its content one pipe nearer the consumer. So a line carries a full segment per tick at any length — 50 mB/tick for the ordinary pipe, 100 for the advanced one — and the fluid itself takes as many ticks to reach the end as the line has pipes.
An ordinary pipe in an advanced line
A forgotten ordinary pipe caps an advanced line at its own 50 mB/tick: a line runs at its thinnest pipe. That is what the thick brass body is for — the thin pipe in a line can be seen.
Block properties
A 6×6×6 core and an arm toward each connected side — the same thickness as the Advanced Item Pipe. The glass is slightly tinted, with brass rails along the edges and brass collars at the joints. The mode markers on the faces (orange — extract, teal — insert) are the ordinary pipe's.
Placed and broken with a pickaxe, hardness 0.3, blast resistance 0.6, copper sound.
A working reactor melts it like an ordinary pipe: inside a reactor room use the Reinforced Fluid Pipe. Flowing water or lava in the world washes the pipe away, like a vanilla torch.
Recipe
| reinforced bronze plate | fluid pipe | reinforced bronze plate |
| fluid pipe | rubber | fluid pipe |
| reinforced bronze plate | fluid pipe | reinforced bronze plate |
Makes 4 pipes. The recipe unlocks once a fluid pipe is in your inventory.
