CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Steel Pipe acquisition

Build a Constructor, choose Steel Pipe, and connect Steel Ingots to its input. Send the resulting pipes to storage or to the production line that needs them.

Steel Pipe is a manufactured part used in building construction and recipes such as Stator, Nobelisk, and Heavy Modular Frame. Make it in a Constructor from Steel Ingots. There is no Steel Pipe deposit to find; the practical bottleneck is usually a reliable ingot supply from your steel production line.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

A Constructor with the Steel Pipe recipe available.
Steel Ingots delivered to the Constructor.
Power and a clear output route.

Unlock the Steel Pipe recipe if needed.
Build and power a Constructor where it can receive Steel Ingots.
Select Steel Pipe in its recipe list.
Supply Steel Ingots; each standard batch consumes 3 ingots and produces 2 pipes.
Route the pipe output to storage or directly to a consumer such as Stator production.
If production pauses, check both the ingot feed and the pipe output route.

Crafting tips

At 100% clock, the standard recipe uses 30 Steel Ingots and produces 20 Steel Pipes per minute.
A Foundry makes Steel Ingots from Iron Ore and Coal, so trace shortages upstream if the Constructor is starved.
Unlocked alternate recipes can make Steel Pipes with different materials and machines.

Repeat, collect and use

Keep ingots flowing and output space available. Continue production while your storage or connected lines need pipes.

Common mistakes

Searching the map for a Steel Pipe resource deposit instead of manufacturing the part.
Assuming the listed production rate will continue when the Constructor lacks ingots or has a blocked output.

When to stop or switch

Stop or reduce production when your pipe reserve and connected consumers are supplied.
