Copper Transport Pipe¶

The Copper Transport Pipe is a Tier 1 mechanical pipe that provides standard-speed item transport. It's the backbone of most pipe networks, offering reliable connectivity with random routing.

Yields: 8× Copper Transport Pipe

Behavior¶

Copper Transport Pipes move items through your network at standard speed. When an item reaches a junction with multiple possible exits, it randomly selects a direction.

Key features: - Standard transport speed - Random routing at junctions - Reliable backbone for networks - Connects to all other pipe types - Connects to inventories - Can be color-marked for network segmentation

Network Segmentation¶

Mark copper pipes with Marking Fluid to segment networks by color:

Right-click pipe with marking fluid (water bottle + dye)
Pipe takes on the dye color
Pipes with the same marking will not connect to each other
Different colors connect normally
Sneak + empty hand to clear marking

This lets you run multiple independent networks side-by-side without them merging.

Oxidization¶

Copper pipes oxidize naturally like vanilla copper blocks, going through all the standard oxidization stages over time:

Copper

Fresh, orange

→

Exposed

Slightly weathered

→

Weathered

Green-tinted

→

Oxidized

Fully green

Managing oxidization: - Use honeycomb to wax pipes and prevent further oxidization - Use axe to scrape off oxidization layers - Works exactly like vanilla copper mechanics - Purely cosmetic - doesn't affect item transport speed or functionality - Mix oxidization stages for aesthetic builds

Tips¶

Standard choice for network backbone
Use marking fluid to prevent unwanted connections
Random routing works fine for single-destination networks
For controlled routing, use Item Merger Pipes or Item Filter Pipes
Faster than Stone Transport Pipes, cheaper than smart pipes
