Overview

The conveyor tube is a pipe that can transfer items from two opposite sides. It is similar to the Conveyor Junction but slightly stronger and only has 2 ports. For curves, the player must use Conveyor Junctions or Curved Conveyor Tubes. For a full explanation on conveyors, see Conveyor Network.

Another interesting feature of the conveyor tube is that it also has indicator lights on it that inform the player of its status:

Indicator Light Definitions
Color	Status	Comments
	Good Connection	This color informs that there is a successful connection between inventories.
	Limited Connection	This color indicates that the conveyors will only move ammo due to limited power supply (current power demand exceeds supply).
	No Connection / No power	This tube is not connected to at least two inventories or is unpowered.
….	Damaged / No Connection	This specific Conveyor Tube is damaged and needs to be repaired to function.

Note When not powered, the lights on the conveyor tube will turn red. However, this does not mean items cannot be transferred.

Important Note It should be noted that the curved conveyor tube is only compatible with large conveyor ports.

Usage

Using the block is simple, and easy to use. An example on how to make use of this is to first:

Example Tutorial
Place a cargo container anywhere on the floor Next place the conveyor tube on the cargo container facing the other direction. You will notice the lights on the block are “red”, this is okay; it only indicates that there is no connection on the other end of the conveyor. Now place another cargo container on the other side of the conveyor tube. The light should now turn green, indicating a successful connection

Tips

Compared to the Conveyor Junction it possesses less versatility (having only 2 conveyor sides) and is heavier, but in exchange it is less expensive in terms of Iron Ingots and stronger in terms of integrity since it’s made up of sturdy Steel Plate unlike the Conveyor Junction which is primarily constructed out of weaker Interior Plates.
Players building a small ship on a budget can use Small Cargo Containers as a lighter and cheaper (although requiring some less-common resources) replacement for conveyors.
