- # Pipes
- Pipes are used to distribute gasses from one place to another.
- There are a wide variety of pipes available to construct:

- <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPipeStraight" Caption="straight"/>
- <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPipeHalf" Caption="half"/>
- <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPipeBend" Caption="bend"/>
- <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPipeTJunction" Caption="T junction"/>
- <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasPipeFourway" Caption="fourway"/>
- </Box>
- Pipes will [color=#a4885c]automatically connect[/color] to other pipes when anchored (or wrenched) to the hull to form a [textlink="network of pipes." link="PipeNetworks"]
- A network of pipes is commonly called a [textlink="pipenet" link="PipeNetworks"].
- Pipes will [color=red]not connect[/color] to pipes that are already connected to a different pipe.
- For example, building a bent pipe on top of a straight pipe to form a makeshift T-junction will not work.
- However, two pipes can share a tile as long as one isn't obstructing the other's connection to another pipe.
- For example, two bend pipes can be placed on the same tile, with one moving gas from north to east, and the other moving gas from west to south.
- You can color pipes (and most equipment that handles gasses) using a spray painter.
- This is commonly done to distinguish the air and waste components of the station's Distro pipenet.
