== Pipes == Pipes are a way to connect storages and producing objects across a distance. There are input pipes (copper colored), output pipes (silver colored), combined pipes (copper-silver-striped) and all types in an underground variant, therefore input underground pipes, output underground pipes and combined underground pipes. An [[input pipe]] moves materials from a storage to a producing object. Therefore a chest with materials can be connected to a producing object by placing pipes from the chest's connection point to the producing object's connection point. Then, the producing object will consider this chest as well when trying to draw materials. [[File:Production input pipe.png|center|thumb|The copper-colored pipe is an input pipe, therefore the malt box is able to draw material like wood and barley from the chest.]] An [[output pipe]] moves products from a producing object to a storage. A producing object is therefore able to put its product not only in surrounding storages, but also in storages connected to them via output pipes. [[File:Production output pipe.png|center|thumb|The malt box is connected to the right chest with a silver-colored pipe, which is an output pipe. Therefore, the malt produced by the malt box will be moved to the right chest. It can't be moved to the left chest, because there is an input pipe instead.]] A [[combined pipe]] does the job of both an input and an output pipe. Therefore a producing object connected to a storage via combined pipes can draw materials and put its product in there. [[File:Production combined pipe.png|center|thumb|The partially copper- and silver-colored pipe is a combined pipe and therefore can transport materials and products alike.]] The underground variant of these pipes do the same, but can be placed under earth and therefore beneath other objects. To display them, an underground layer has to be displayed by pressing C. Underground pipes are more expensive, but with them it's possible to have pipes which are not visible (as long as the underground layer isn't displayed) and which can be used to go through walls and other objects. To destroy an underground pipe, the player has to select the hammer-axe and display underground pipes by pressing C. If an underground layer is displayed (with or without connection points), all the pipes are marked with an icon to display its type. An empty circle stays for an input pipe, a filled circle for an output pipe and a half-empty-half-filled circle for a combined pipe. [[File:Production pipe example 1.png|center|thumb|Malt box, wort boiler and beer brewing kettle are connected to the two chests and the rain barrels outside via input pipes. Therefore, they can draw all the materials from the chests and rain barrels. Underground input pipes were used to skip the wall and to cover the area beneath the machines and chests. The beer brewing kettle is connected to the faucet in the tavern via an underground output pipe.]] [[File:Production pipe example 2.png|center|thumb|The same situation as above, but with another pipe layer view. Connection points of machines and storages are displayed too, now.]] Overground and underground pipes of different types can be combined to layout complex pipe systems. As an example, combined pipes can be used to make a crossover for an input pipe and an output pipe if placed in the center, as both the input and the output pipe take the combined pipe as a valid part of their line. It is also possible to break a line of overground pipes with a piece of underground pipe to skip a wall. [[File:Production pipe crossing.png|center|thumb|An input pipe from the left to the right and an output pipe from the top to the bottom can cross each other, because a combined pipe was placed in the center.]] [[File:Production wall skipping pipe.png|center|thumb|Overground and underground pipes can be used together. Here, an underground input pipe was used beneath the wall.]] A typical beer brewing layout consists of a malt box, a wort boiler and a beer brewing kettle as well as two or more chests, some rain barrels, a faucet and optionally some beer barrels. Malt box, wort boiler and beer brewing kettle are connected to all chests with combined underground pipes, so they can draw fuel, barley, malt, wort, hop, yeast and flavor crops from them. The malt box and the wort boiler are also connected via input pipes to the rain barrels for the water they require. Rain barrels are often put outside of the room so they gather water during rainy weather. The beer brewing kettle has to be connected to the faucet in the tavern room via output (underground) pipes, if the player doesn't want to transport the beer manually there. It's also possible to connect the kettle to beer barrels via output pipes. The faucets have a higher priority in filling, so the tavern gets the beer first and if the faucets are full, the beer barrels store the surplus.
