OddPotato Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Gas Double Pipe, Liquid Double Pipe Allows two liquids/gases to flow through the pipe without mixing. It's basically a pipe with two sections separated by a wall. It allows transfer of liquids/gases to and from far off locations without the need to build two different pipes but at reduced transfer capacity (may be less than half the current pipe capacity) Mixed Double Pipe Allows liquid and a gas toflow through same pipe in different sections. Similar to Gas Double Pipie/Liquid Double Pipe but one section is used to transfer gas and other used to transfer liquid. This is much more useful than Gas Double Pipe/Liquid Double Pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to filter them at the end. 2 hours ago, OddPotato said: Mixed Double Pipe Allows liquid and a gas toflow through same pipe in different sections.

Yes you can put two kinds of gases or liquids in one pipe but that allows you to carry them only in one direction. But this would allow to and fro transfer of elements from place to place simultaneously, one flow towards the target but the other in opposite direction.

I disagree with its necessity, but I'll give that it's an interesting idea. I feel like the issue is that it would probably cost more resources, at which point you may as well just run two pipes. But now that I understand, that certainly makes more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuch Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 That is something I had been thinking of myself so liked.. It would make running ventilations and water lines alongside/right under a floor a lot less of a pain particularly wate/poluted water0. Itd take a lot less place and reqire less bridges. Sadly It would require some special pieces to have the pipes join in the first place and given how the square system is implemened, probaly be alot of trouble to implement. But boy would it be nice to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But boy would it be nice to have. It requires 2 more extra components for each pipe. A double bridge and a double converter which can be used at the end of double pipes to connect to normal pipes. But as you said it might be a bit difficult to implement these using current mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
