Overview

The conveyor tube is a transparent pipe that can transfer items from two opposite sides. It is cheaper to build compared to the Conveyor, but 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:

Example Tutorial

Place a cargo container anywhere on the floor Next place the conveyor tube on the cargo container facing the other direction. You will notice the lights on the block are "red", this is okay; it only indicates that there is no connection on the other end of the conveyor. Now place another cargo container on the other side of the conveyor tube. The light should now turn green, indicating a successful connection
