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.

Before you go
- A Constructor with the Steel Pipe recipe available.
- Steel Ingots delivered to the Constructor.
- Power and a clear output route.
Farming steps
- 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.
- 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.
