Pipes are used to move liquids around your factory.
Mechanics
Pipes require (at least one) Pump to take liquid in, and (at least one) Liquid Vent to allow liquid out.
Pipes themselves are on a completely separate layer and can be placed in the same square as any other block. They can pass through any material, including Indestructible terain.
The only exception is that they may not pass through Artifact rooms.
Lava is too hot to be carried in pipes. All other liquids can be carried.
Pipes can only be removed by selecting the Pipe tool, and right-clicking on the Pipe you want to remove.
Tips
Pipes cannot cross; if they do, the two networks are joined, and any Pump on either pipe will feed any Liquid Vent on either pipe.
Pipes can be connected to multiple Pumps and Liquid Vents at a time and the inputs and outputs will be shared throughout. If more than one type of liquid is pumped in the pipe system, it will distribute them evenly across all outputs. Use separate systems for each liquid instead, or be prepared to filter your liquids at each vent!
Pipes that run behind terrain or blocks are not visible except when the Pipe tool is selected.
