Overview
The conveyor tube is a transparent pipe that can transfer items from two opposite sides. It is similar to the Conveyor but slightly stronger and only has 2 ports. For curves, the player must use Conveyors or Curved Conveyor Tubes. For a full explanation on conveyors, see Conveyor Network.
Another interesting feature of the conveyor tube is that it also has indicator lights on it that inform the player of its status. Currently, there are only two states that it can be in:
| Indicator Light Definitions | ||
|---|---|---|
| Color | Status | Comments |
| Yellow | Good Connection | This color informs that there is a successful connection between inventories |
| Red | No Connection / No power | It is not connected to at least two inventories or no power is being supplied to it |
- Note
- When not powered, the lights on the conveyor tube will turn red. However, this does not mean items cannot be transferred.
- Important Note
- It should be noted that the curved conveyor tube is only compatible with large conveyor ports.
Usage
Using the block is simple, and easy to use. An example on how to make use of this is to first:

Tips
- Compared to the Conveyor it's actually less useful (having only 2 sides) and more expensive in terms of both Iron Ingots and Silicon Wafers. The Convayor requires Interior Plate while the Tube requires Steel Plate and Bulletproof Glass.
